problem solving

I often took lots of time finishing all of my works. I didn’t know what to start first that I usually started the homework without any thinking. I always have problem to accomplish my work completely at once. I often missed some works and couldn’t finish all the homework by the right time. For an example, I had two pages of Japanese homework and one ENL essay. I did only the one page of the Japanese homework, forgetting about the other page, and started to write an ENL essay. While I was doing ENL essay, I remembered that I needed to do one more page of the Japanese homework, that I immediately started it. Then, after I completed the Japanese homework, I forgot to write an ENL essay. Next day, I couldn’t hand in ENL essay. This thing happened a lot to me that I decided to do Ranking Priority as my problem solving strategy. I followed the direction, written at page 227. I first created a list of the things I needed to accomplish. I put all my homework at the planner. Then, I ranked each items, putting A, B, and C. Thirdly, I organized those ranks. For an instance, I put Japanese homework pg. 58 as A-1, because it was the most essential thing to do. Then, I put memorizing Kanji for Japanese test as A-2, and it was the second important thing to do. Lastly, I put Japanese homework pg. 59 as B, since this was not as important as the others. After doing that, it became really easier to start the homework. I often sit at the chair, and thought what I needed to do for long time. However, by the ranking priority, I didn’t have to do that and started the homework immediately. Also, I could know that what I needed to do after I completed one thing. I didn’t miss any homework, because I wrote down the list of the all the homework. By doing this ranking priority with D’s due and do organizer, I never miss any homework and I can finish all the homework much faster than before. . Before, I didn’t write down the due date that I even forgot the things to hand in at the certain date. By knowing the exact due date and put the date when I need to do that homework, I don’t need to waste time to remember what I need to do. This ranking priority helped me a lot to accomplish the homework on time, much faster, and to not miss any homework. I’m going to apply this strategy until the end of this term, and I’m sure this will help me a lot on studying.
