Time Strategies

My model for stress
Source

When it comes to time management, and general organization as a whole, I struggle quite a bit. This can be reflected in this blog post, as it was open earlier this week and I have waited until the last the day to complete it. This is why I decided to read the article "11 ways unsuccessful people mismanage their time" by Áine Cain (which can be found here) to find ways to better my time management skills, as I find looking at what's wrong and improving that is easier than trying to improve on a new skill. What really stuck out to me is the sections that state that unsuccessful people procrastinate, don't plan time for fun, get distracted easily. I get distracted and procrastinate, and that is my "fun" time, but I am stressing out during this time as I know I should be working on my homework. I plan to combat this by following a ritual like the article mentions. For every hour I spend studying/doing homework, I will watch a 30 min episode of something on Netflix. This way, I am able to prioritize work first, and then reward myself afterwards.

While my music goes from Japanese EDM to ancient Mongolian throat singing, the stuff I listen to most of the time is underground and old school hip-hop, as well as lofi. I love playing all sports, even if I'm not too good at them. I played Offensive line in high school, as well competing in field events during track season. I am a huge super hero...

Week 10 Story: A life for a life

A comic panel showing Darkseid and his destructive capabilities  Source The supreme overlord of countless worlds, Darkseid, was casually strolling through the universe looking for a new world to conquer. As he was going about his planning for the invasion of this new galaxy called "The Milky Way" he was stopped by his most trusted adviser who warned him about invading dangerous planets, as he had already been beaten out of Oa by the guardians. Darkseid pondered this intrusion, and decided to play it safe instead of possibly risking another failure and have his army begin to doubt his power as a leader. "Who are the most powerful beings on this planet" Darkseid ordered as he pointed his finger towards Earth. "Bruce Wayne and Kal-El" the adviser responded. "Here is a brief history of their lives" he said as he gave Darkseid a vision detailing the lives of the 2 beings. "Batman and Superman huh?" Darkseid paced. "This ma...
