We all know how busy a collegiate life can be. There may seem to not be enough hours in the week. Well I've got some good news for you: There are enough hours in a week, you just need to know how to find them. To help you 'find' those hours you should use the Fritter Finder method. It doesn't take long and it will help you tremendously. All you have to do is get a weekly schedule and map out all the time you are not in class with a different color. Now add up all the time you have in between and after classes that week to find how much fritter time you have. You may say, "But that's when I take my naps!" Yes, naps are magnificent but imagine all the naps you can take on the weekend because you've already completed all your homework during your free time that week! Unbelievable, I know. With all this new time found, instead of going back up to the dorm to catch some Z's how about hitting up the library and catching some ABC's(Homework).
I'm speaking from experience here people. This last week I've used the fritter finder and it has already helped me do my math homework (MAT 121), catch up on my religion readings (REL 206), and even complete a paper that is not due until next week (ETS 145). Budgeting your time is one of the best ways to succeed when you feel overwhelmed. Before I started taking this class I felt like I was holding off to do work until the weekend and using my fritter time to sleep. But thankfully, Dr. Blumin showed me the light and I now I feel more accomplished while I use my free time to actually do work.
Here is my Fritter finder schedule (Top Right). You can see that in between classes and after classes I have a tremendous amount of time to get work done. I really hope you all can take advantage of this simple method. you won't regret it.

Hi Kyle, your methodology seems really well thought out. You have highlighted where your free time is very well. Your schedule is pretty busy I think so use your free time valuably. I hope to also utilize the Fritter Finder for my schedule in the future. Keep up the good work :)
ReplyDeleteI agree that the fritter finder is a really good way to get work done during your free time so that you have more time on weekends to hang out. It helped me space out when to do work as well as get a better representation of when I had open hours to get things done.
ReplyDeleteYea the fritter finder definitely helped me see where I had my free time, as it did for you, but man it's hard to say no to those naps sometimes!
