Task Management

One of the hardest parts about schoolwork, is managing your tasks. I always find myself writing down every assignment I have, but never the steps to complete tasks individually. When given an assignment, I think one of the most important things you can do before starting is sit down and simply write out the steps to completion. This technique helps a lot because not only does it organize your assignment, but also it creates less stress because you can physically see each step written out neatly.

I did the Things-to-do strategy for my PSC 121 class. My priority is to study for my final exam, which is approaching soon. I then proceeded to list everything I needed to do in order to complete the task of studying for my final. Previously to making this chart, I did not really know what I was going to do or how I was going to study for this test, however, now that it is written out, all I have to do now is follow through and complete each “to-do.”

I also did was the Putting It All Together: Course Matrix strategy. I used this for my PHI 192 class. I found that this strategy would have been more helpful if I did it in the beginning of the course. Then I could have been able to see every detail right from the beginning. This strategy definitely helps to make you realize what you need to do and how you should study for certain courses. I would definitely recommend doing this technique for every course in the beginning of each semester.

I am the type of Learner who needs things to be written out and organized. The Things-to-do strategy, which is the Action I took, definitely helped me visualize each step so I knew exactly what I needed to do. The Materials I used was a chart, for both Things-to-do and Putting It All Together: Course Matrix strategies. My Evaluation for both strategies is different. I definitely benefited from Things-to-do and would have benefitted from the other strategy, if I had completed it earlier in the semester.
