Time Strategies

 There's nothing quite as imposing as a time limit, is there?

Of the articles, I read The Myth of Too Busy by Tim Grahl, Eat the Frog First Thing in the Morning by Thomas Oppong, and Time Management Tips Just for Creatives by Amanda Oliver. I found Amanda Oliver's article to be the most helpful, as it included the same advice as the previous two while also acknowledging that time should be scheduled for breaks as well. 

My personal time management style is to start with the earliest deadlines for assignments, and to get as much done as soon as possible. That way, I can devote more time to larger assignments without worrying about forgetting to do smaller assignments that may have an earlier deadline. It takes some time each semester for me to figure out how long I take to do weekly assignments, but once I do I can account for that as well. I plan to stick with my original schedule idea for this class, with one exception. I have pchem labs every week, but lab reports are not always due every week. Therefore, I will try to get ahead in this class on weekends where I do not have lab reports.

Arthur is my pseudonym, but it is a pseudonym that I use quite often. I go by Arthur in most online mediums, and it is the name I give myself when I play video games (or choose-your-own-adventure games, when the option to pick a name is available). There is a certain separation of selves when I do this. Think of it like Jekyll and Hyde, but a book-accurate version. You see, Hyde is not a separate personality to Jekyll, just a different face that Jekyll uses to express a hidden aspect of himself. Arthur is confident and self-assured, "Richard" (to refer to my in-person self) is not. This puts me in a bit of a predicament: how to introduce myself while keeping the two as separate as I can. It is inevitable that Arthur and Richard will bleed into each other in this blog, I'm afraid, so I will continue ...

Reading Notes: Brothers Grimm (Crane), Part B

Bibliography: "The Three Spinsters" from Household Stories by the Brothers Grimm  translated by Lucy Crane. Story Source . Notes I like this story, it has Rumpelstiltskin vibes but the girl actually keeps her word which is nice and sure, she was lazy, but that can easily be rewritten as her just not knowing how to use a spinning wheel the spinsters are mvps and also probably fairies  because come on that's some fairy nonsense  hehehehe wingmen  (Image Information: The Three Spinsters illustration by Robert Bell (1912); Wikimedia Commons ) -A.
