Time Strategies

Being a very bad procrastinator, this time management strategies have taught me very important lessons. I have a very bad habit of putting and leaving tasks to the last minute, forcing myself to hyper-focus and rush through anything, whether it be class assignments, appointment times, or even everyday needs like dinner, at the last minute.


I seem to be somewhat addicted to not being alert about the due dates, closing times, and deadlines. It can be obvious even when I'm dining in the campus restaurants. I would go and order at 11:58 pm, when the restaurant closes at 12.


Overall, I have learned the habit of just getting things started although it is very difficult. Like Jory Mackay says in his article, the best way to beat procrastination is to get things started and and change the course of bad habits.   


I found this article to be very relevant to my procrastinating life style, and I've learned a lot from reading this helpful article: Importance of Getting things started.

Inayat. Twenty Jataka Tales, Reading A

I'm always been fond of reading Jataka tales. In fact, these collections of Jataka tales have been my favorite kind of reading for this semester because their plots are very interesting with lots of suspense and rich visual details. Monkeys look the most alike with humans, and they are usually the symbol of wisdom in many Indian epic stories. I liked all the readings in Reading A of Inayat's twenty Jataka tales, but one story that particularly stood out in my mind was the story of Monkey-Bridge. Monkey, including the wise god Hanuman, often has taken the role of clever, wise, and smart animal in Indian and Hindu epics. The story begins with a giant-like monkey who ruled eighty-thousand monkeys in Himalayan mountains. Wow.. Eighty-thousand monkeys are a lot and I can't even conceive how many monkeys that the giant monkey ruled in the cold, steep Himalayan mountains. I really like this very detailed, vivid, and full of image description of the monkeys' habitat: ...

Week 7 Story: Clever Escape (PDE Mahabharata, Part B)

Once upon a time in ancient India, there was an evil, greedy Prince named Duryodhana. He was among several princes of the kingdom, but he was the most greedy and power-hungry of all. Among his brothers, there was wise, clever, and popular Prince named Vidura. Prince Duryodhana always hated Prince Vidura because he was popular with people. Prince Vidura, although he was ambitious like Prince Duryodhana, he wasn't a cruel-minded person like Duryodhana who could kill people easily to accomplish his purposes. Duryodhana, through his cunning strategies and deceits, became the official heir of the kingdom. Now that Prince Duryodhana became the official heir, he felt a great need to get rid of Prince Vidura because he feared Vidura might become more powerful than him. Duryodhana feared that Vidura might summon his forces who were known as the Pandavas and revolt against his authority. So Duryodhana, using his newly acquired power, imprisoned Vidura, his mother the Queen, and t...

The Pious Wolf

I'm always been fond of reading Jataka tales. In fact, these collections of Jataka tales have been my favorite kind of reading for this semester because their plots are very interesting with lots of suspense and rich visual details. I've read a lot of Jataka tales about monkeys, which seem like the favorite Hindu animal, but I haven't come across a reading with a wolf. A story written about a pious wolf, I thought, would be an absolutely amazing read. So I read the amazing story of pious wolf and other great tales. But the story of pious wolf particularly stood out in my mind. I like the beginnig of the story how the wolf is impriosoned so tightly: "Once there was a flood, and there was a large rock with a Wolf sleeping on the top. The water came pouring around the rock, and when the Wolf awoke he found himself imprisoned, with no way of getting off, and nothing to eat." Obviously, the wolf was desperate to escape: "“H’m!” said he to himself, “here I m,...
