I chose to read two articles that focused on the psychology of time management. The first was The Psychology of Checklists, which is a Trello blog about how checklists can improve your productivity. Personally, I rely on checklists during the semester to make sure I accomplish my schoolwork and other personal things. I use the Todoist checklist program to schedule when I need to do tasks. This program allows me to create different projects (each of my classes is a project) and assign deadlines and priorities to tasks. It even has a good extension for chrome and firefox. This article reinforced my current strategy that I've used for every college semester - it has been a successful strategy and I plan on using it again.
My second article was the 3 Steps to Recapture Time. This article hit on an interesting idea - organizing your day during the first 15 minutes of the day. I normally take time on the weekend to revise my time management strategies rather than doing it every day. Maybe doing that will make me more intentional about achieving my goals and I will be able to update my strategy more swiftly. Additionally, this article reminded me to say no to things that aren't important to my goals. Saying no cuts down on distractions and will make me more productive.
