Time Management Stategies

 


Yay! Final blog of the week! What an exciting time to have completed my last first week of school work! This is relevant because this blog is about time management. This is something that I am sorely lacking, personally. Back in HS it felt so easy to take on the world. Looking back, I had school from 8am-4pm every day, took on a "zero" hour, AP classes, etc. I would run a mile or two every day before school, meaning that I am awake at 6am.  I went to wrestling practice for about 2 hours (depending on where we were at in the season) every single day, and on days that we didn't have duals, I would go to work until 10:30 as a server at IHOP. Then on weekends, if there wasn't a wrestling tournament, I was working doubles and putting in time at the gym. Even when we were not in wrestling season, I was still doing Freestyle wrestling, Competitive speech, and debate, and did musicals every year of HS. When the heck did I have time for homework? I do not know if I just had really good time management or what, boy it never seemed like that great of a workload until now. Like yeah, I knew I was busy all of the time, but I never really understood just how busy I was. Being this busy was both great and detrimental to my mental health. Because I never had a spare moment to stop and meditate or think, I never had time to process the emotional trauma that was going on in my life at the time. So now I am stuck at age 21 reliving all of the stress that I did not have time to process as a teenager. Because of this, I am paying the consequences. I run off of stress if I don't feel stressed, I do not feel productive. I have had to take on a lot of time management advice because of my ADHD; I only have two functions. I either do all of my work all at once or nothing at all. Having this class last semester certainly helped me form routines, and I am grateful for that. The article that had the most profound impact on me was Why Time Management is Ruining Our Lives because it explored exactly how I felt about time management. Looking forward to the course, I hope that I can maintain my time management and ensure my academic success.

Introduction to a Women's Wrestling Coach and Future Teacher

  Introduction to a Women's Wrestling Coach and Future Teacher     Hey everyone! My name is Mikayla Chandler. I am a secondary language arts education major going into my senior year here at OU. In addition to being a full-time student, I am also in my first year of coaching wrestling. Although I am a coach on a team of boys and girls, I primarily focus on my attention on the ladies on the team. Although I chose to not wrestling in college, I spent the majority of my life around wrestling and was competitive from ages 10 to 18. I was born and raised here in Norman, so it has always been a dream of mine to obtain a degree from OU. I have one dog but would certainly love to get more. Her name is Verona and she is a Lab/Pitbull mix that showed up one day and never left. One of my major interests is in American Sign Language; I took two years in college and I wish I could afford to take more classes. I love knowing another language, it makes me feel more connected to the worl...

Week Thirteen: Back up and Review

  Thoughts:     Some of my favorite videos on the internet are Crash Course videos. I LOVE these videos as a classroom tool. I really enjoy learning more about history through different avenues, and I really feel that Crash Course History has some of the most accessible lessons on the internet. I learned that basically anywhere there is a civilization, there is likely to be a historical flood associated with that civilization. Almost every major civilization we know of has been ravished by a flood, and they always see it as symbolic in some sort of lore. This is my last blog post for the semester and my last post for this class ever. I have taken this class twice now, so I am sort of attached to this class in a weird way since it has been part of my daily routine for the last year, practically. Overall, as my last post, I just wanted to say how grateful I am to have this course as an option for my Gen-ed course work.  Video:    Flood Legends of the Americas...
