Task Management..

There is only about two weeks left of school and all I can think about is "SUMMER." Last week, I blogged about "How to deal with stress." The main factors that had me stressed out were: deciding my major, my body image issues, a possible summer internship/summer job and my nutrition exam. Luckily, I went on a get-away trip and was able to relax. A lot happened since my last post; I have decided on my career choice: Magazine Journalism and Spanish, minor in nutrition. I am confident about my decision, but now I need to concentrate on my finals, since the school year is coming to a closure. Also, I received an 88% on my nutrition exam.

There is a lot to do and not enough time left. This week I took some time to create a PRIORITY LIST in order to rank my assignments and tasks that I must complete before the school year ends. I found this technique easy to use but at the same time tricky. At first, I made a list of tasks ranking them in the order of my personal choice. For example my main priority was to purchase a shampoo for frizzy hair. I care a lot about my hair, but at this point my nutrition exam and spanish final are more important!

Therefore, I made a new list according to my academics.The Priority List technique worked for me because it worked as a visual to remind me of the tasks I must focus on completing. It was fun making the list and now I have to swing into action!

I highly recommend this strategy to everyone, because it helps me be organized. I printed my list and pasted it on my wall. Every time I accomplish a task, I cross it off my list. The feeling of satisfaction feels great! I am excited to make a new list for the summer!
