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.

Introduction to Peter the Real Estate Agent

Hi guys! I'm Peter, and I'm an OU student. I'm a junior, and I'm majoring in Communication. I believe I'm a very honest person, so I'm going to tell you why I chose to major in Communication.

Some professors are tough and demanding, and there are lots of heavy reading, intensive writing, and several exams that I need to complete to earn an OU Communication degree. I still think Communication is a pretty cool major because I get to learn about many interesting effective communication theories. Because my major belongs to the College of Arts and Sciences, it has heavier emphasis on theory and research more than practice and application. Honestly, I don't really remember a "cool class" that I took last semester (I don't think I had any). Nonetheless, these classes, Myth Folklore and Indian Epics, ar...

Week 10 Story: Fierce Brothers (PDE Mahabharata, Part D)

Once upon a time, two fierce brothers lived who were managers of a Kansas corn farm. John, who was honest, scrupulous, and fair-minded, disliked cheating and liked to work with his son all throughout the year, especially during the harvest season. John was popular, so he had many followers and sharecroppers who genuinely liked him. In addition, the owner of the farm, who was an old man in his eighties, really liked John and wanted him to succeed his ownership once he died. There was another brother whose name was April. Unlike John, April was greedy, competitive, and was always determined to win. April disliked rules and often ignored the proper procedures when he was working on the farm. One day, April decided to cheat John out of excessive greed. April wanted bumper crops for himself and did not want to share as much with his fair-minded brother John. So April, along with his fellow crooked followers and sharecroppers, decided to revolt against John and his scrupulous follow...
