Time Strategies

     The two articles I have chose to read are "The Important Habit of Just Starting" by Jory Mackay and "How to Beat Procrastination" by Caroline Webb. These articles were very helpful and contained relevant information that I will carry into the next two semesters at OU. One of the key things that was said and stuck out to me in this article was " The guilt and frustration we feel from not starting is often worse than the pain of actually doing work", and this stuck with me because often times in my past semesters I have experienced this exact feeling, which in return makes me take these articles even more to heart. Based on last semester, my biggest time challenges will be spreading out all of the courses work with ZERO procrastination. My time management skills consists of taking an initial look at the assignment when it is assigned and then planning when I will do each assignment based of the turn in date and how long each will take.

I have reviewed my schedule for this class and written up a post with ideas for organizing my time.

The best class I took last semester was Engineering Design because I learned different CAD platforms and how to dynamically analyze parts via computer, taking out some of the time of tedious hand calculations. My biggest accomplishment last semester was boosting my gpa some and just having a good semester in general. Over the break, I went to Colorado for a couple of weeks and relaxed a little before and after my internship at innovex downhole solutions. It was a blessing to receive the internship this summer because it was great infield experience working with lead mechanical engineers all summer long. Although I said Colorado was my favorite p...

Week 5 Story: Just a Game

Image
Tom was an All-American hockey player and was the best in Pittsburg. He had major dreams of going to the NHL one day but now he was only 17 and could only work on perfecting his craft. He cam up through the ranks as a young boy being the best on any rink he stepped foot on. He once had a teammate whose name was Jared, who he had done wrong to unintentionally, but Jared never seemed to forgive him.   They came up through the ranks together all the way to their senior year where both of them ended up being drafted by the Pittsburg Penguins. They were both climbing up the ranks on the team and found themselves to be two of the best on the team, let alone in the NHL. Time came and the captain of the Pittsburg Penguins at the time retired. The coach had two guys in mind to take his place, Tom and Jared. Tome was in the better position to take the job because of the connections he had made with the rest of the teammates, but Jared would not let this stop him.   Because way ba...
