Time Strategies

The Myth of Being Too Busy
This article was really relevant and interesting to read because it was describing how we always claim that we are busy, although most of the time we just don't prioritize our schedule in the best way. I like the idea that we can always change based on what we actually want to do. For example, my goal is to keep a steady workout schedule, although sometimes that doesn't always happen because I either have early classes, so I can't work out before my class, and after class I do homework and study until I sleep. However, I recently realized that if I just managed my time in a better way, I would get done with school work before dinner, and I could go workout. OR I could sleep earlier and wake up earlier. During the day I usually spend some time on social media or talking to friends I haven't seen in a while, so I get side-tracked a lot. However, I know if there are certain weeks that I need to focus on schoolwork, so in those times I need to prioritize better.

The Important Habit of Just Starting
This article was also super relevant, so I was really intrigued by the title immediately! Getting started on something you don't want to do is one of the hardest things to do, so I relate to this a lot. I like the contrast it made when it was mentioning how procrastinators think; essentially it said that procrastinators don't think about how their future will be impacted as much and that they value what is happening currently than later.
