For my tech assignment this week I decided to use an new anti-procrastination strategies I have never used before. The first strategy I used was called “Schedule a Day at a Time”. This strategy was easy to use and only had a few steps.
First step was to write a to-do list for one day. The next thing you had to-do was to identify the tasks that would be realistic to accomplish and thirdly, add a few tasks that would be optional for the day but would be helpful to get them done. This next step was my favorite, after each task is completed you have to mark off the task you just finished. And finally the last step was to complete this for the whole week.
Personally for me this technique worked amazingly. I used the application Stickies on my Mac computer and as the day went along and I remembered what assignments I needed to complete I would just write them down there and where I had free time (which I referenced my fritter finder for that) I completed the tasks on my to-do list. (below is an example of the stickies on my computer. I used not only these stickies for my school work but also for my personal life ; such as laundry ect.)
Another element that was not specified in the directions but I found helpful as I went along in the week was organizing it by priority. There are some assignments that I would prefer to do over others but others more important as they were due the next day. Therefore, by prioritizing them by importance helped my keep on track. I believe I will continue using this “Schedule a Day at a Time” technique because as a visual and kinesthetic learner not only does writing it down help me remember but also by being constantly visually reminded (as its on my home screen) it allows me to remain on task for the whole week.
