Trying to do a lot of things in such a little bit of time is a tricky thing to do. As college students, we have so many things to do and keep track of in our daily lives. However, there are periods where we forget about what we have to do. We get so preoccupied with these things that we can get pretty forgetful and neglect what we needed to do in the forst place. The only thing that I can say about this is the fact that we need to be more aware of what we have to do and how to accomplish it. Does this mean that we need more space on our hard drive that is our brain? Sorry, but there are no upgrades available. And no ginko biloba either! What happens to us is pretty characteristic of most other people in this world. So what can we do about this? The only way we know how! Through tips!
1. Keep a notebook and organize everything you have to do
This tip is important because you can look back through what you have to do and already have it written down. This is very good if you have seven or eight things to do in a single day (reminds me of wacky wednesdays). But the point of this is to put them in the order that you do them. For example, one person could put their classes first, the regular everyday tasks next and then the extracurriculars. Another person would like to mix it up and maybe rearrange the classes and the everyday tasks. Each one of us is individual and unique. Tailor the list to your liking an to who you are.
2. Think of key words for what you have to do
This tip may not work for everybody, but for those of you out there who like to think complex, you can instantly come up with key words or abbreviations to instantly think of what you have to do. Honestly this is a difficult way to think of what you have to do. I'll even confess that I would have problems with this. Next tip!
3. Sticky notes!
If a notebook does not work out, write post it notes for yourself and put them in areas of the room where you need to go and do stuff. This is a great tip, however it seems a little too Memento for some people.
4. Repeat whatever you have to do in your head by thinking about it
That's right! Repetition is something that everyone can do. By repeating it over and over again in your head, you should be able to remember everything as long as you use concentration. Then again, having to repeat the words "doing laundry" several dozen times may not go over well with people.
5. Get to know your routines
By learning about your everyday routines, you can be prepared for whatever comes your way through the days of the week like Monday thru Sunday. If you dothe routine for long enough, then you should be able to remember everything!
And that's all there really is to it. And I'm doing the last one right now by remembering to write this blog!
Before I go, I would like to mention a special surprise that I have before I graduate. I am going to be revealing it next week at some point which concerns most people. I will not reveal it until next week, but I will say that it is going to be amazing (hopefully if everyone likes it) and I'm excited because I've been working long and hard on this for a while. The only clue I will give about it is that it pertains to stained glass that I work with. All right, one more thing! It will be a great way to wrap up a career and just by looking at it, it will speak words to everyone. That's it. But next week, my blog will be devoted to mentioning this incredible piece to everyone. Be excited for the unexpected and think about the possibilities of giving back to others! The art will speak for itself after making so many pieces for everyone, this is the piece to end all pieces. To be continued...
