Oscars Time Management 🦆

Time Wasters:

     I think my biggest time wasters are when I get ahold of my phone or when I lay down and tell myself it’ll only be for a couple minutes or I’ll wake up when my timer goes off. Usually it’s a combo of all of them. I have to be careful when I lay down because I know if I get to comfortable or settled in there my whole night routine goes out the window. I also tend to watch Netflix or videos when I work for background noise, the only downside is if it’s a show I really enjoy I will get settled on it more to catch all the details.

Unknown:

    The reason for my scheduler being so vague is because I leave myself a lot of time in between my activities not knowing what everyone else’s looks like. My family has always planned things last minute or notifies people of an upcoming event when it’s the day of or like less than 24 hours before. I always have to make sure I have hours of breathing room but still have my planned activities respected. There’s just so many unknowns throughout the week and I can never have a full and planned out schedule. Although I also set aside time for my procrastination, its not like im not aware I very much am and which is why I leave myself enough time to “relax” and mentally prepare to get in a working mode or have it be the last thing possible knowing that I can’t sleep or end the day without doing my tasks I assigned myself. I just don’t make it a priority all the time so its a give and take. 


Suggestions or changes:


    I don’t have very many suggestions. I know to most people my schedule seems very disorganized and not structured very well but it works for me. I have a routine that allows me to be relaxed and settled throughout the whole day and I am able to take care of myself and relax while still being able to accomplish my tasks and get my work turned in on time and even early most of the times.


Goals of the week:


    I think my biggest goals of the week are to make sure I get all my work turned in as soon as possible. I ask most of my professors if they can unlock assignments early or how soon they open. Monday is my longest day because that’s the day I grind out all my work for all of my classes and try to get as many assignments as I can done and turned in so I can relax and not be stressed out about falling behind or having work and rehearsals get in the way of me succeeding. I also try to arrange days for me to spend time with my loved one and family to make sure I can be available around everyone and not only have time for myself but the people I love.

Final Blog Post

  How did you manage all the work? Was it what you expected? What surprised you about college? How did you make friends? What study tips helped you the most? What college services did you use, and how did they help you? What about the INDIS program worked for you and what did not? What other classes did you take, and how did you succeed, or not? What would you do differently? I think overall I had to many classes and I could’ve done more online rather than have them all in person. Trying to balance work and then my personal life outside of school was just to much and I definitely could’ve avoided the levels of stress and conflict I had this semester. This definitely was what I expected, everyone told me that college is difficult and having to balance your personal life and whatever other side hobbies you have, it’s  a lot. Definitely what I expected but just didn’t know how to prepare.  I think the biggest thing that surprised me about college is that I don’t have to atte...

Oscars college student experience and tutoring

Part 1: Is this different than I thought it would be? To be honest people talk about college as stressful or the greatest and happiest moments of their lives…I hate it here. There is a lot to do and it’s a blessing and a curse to be able to go to class whenever you want or do assignments whenever you want. It’s asking me not to do it you know. What am I struggling with? I find it very difficult to wake up and have the will to go to class and sit and listen to lectures and have huge work loads, basically everything I did in high school. I thought me graduating was me saying goodbye but I guess not. It’s hard to balance school, homework, work, my music life, and family/partner time. What’s missing from my college experience? I feel like movies can glorify college or any experiences really and I expected college to be more welcoming or hype. I don’t know if its because its community college so its college but on a “lower level”. I’m glad that I am not getting it all right now and then it...
