For this week's assignment, we are tasked to strategize on how to better many our academic problems. In order to address such an issue, I brainstormed what exactly my specific problems are. I listed how I always procrastinate, get overwhelmed with activities, and never can find a good place to do my work. I therefore, looked to the Ranking Priorities strategy for my College Learning Strategies course. I chose my Hebrew class to start. I normally do not struggle in Hebrew, yet I was sick last week and missed several classes. This put me far behind in my workload. I decided to list out the four assignments that I had due that week in Hebrew. I then ranked each one based on its importance. The picture atop shows how I listed each task as either:
A-Most important
B-Important
C-Least important
I had two for the A category, so I listed each as one and two. One being the more important, two being the lesser.
This really helped me to visually map out all of the assignments I had for my Hebrew class. This way, I also did not get overwhelmed by seeing all the tasks I had to finish immediately. I thus did each task in sequential order based on the importances of each; indicated by the legend of the corresponding letters.
Now that I had planned all that I had to do, I had to figure out the best, most convenient place to actually conduct my work. I turned to page 69 of my CLS textbook to analyze my optional study environments. The checklist really helped me to realize that the library is, by far, the best place for me to do my homework. It is quiet, nearby all my classes, and has all the necessary resources I could ever need to do my homework. I can now easily go to the library, and know which specific assignments are a priority to finish first.
