Time Strategies
Eat the Frogs First Thing in the Morning
This article gives good insight on how to go about accomplishing smaller tasks that can be done right away. Things that you don't want to do but need to be done are the things that should be taken care of first. Next, do the things that you want to do and also need to do. Lastly, do the things that you want to do but don't need to do. I think this is good advice for organizing a daily or weekly itinerary. Also, it gives a good tip about accomplishing things that take less than two minutes to do. If it takes less than two minutes to accomplish, do it right away to get it over with.
The Myth of "Too Busy"
In contrast to the last article, I actually did not find this one to be that beneficial to my organization skills. It included a lot of tips and skills that I don't personally agree with. For example, instead of telling someone I am "too busy" to spend time with them, the article suggests I should use the phrasing "I have decided not to prioritize my time with you." This seems like awful advice, because it comes off as very rude. Sometimes, it is actually better to lie to someone to avoid hurting their feelings. Additionally, there are times when people are actually "too busy," a phrase this author believes shouldn't exist. There are only 24 hours in a day, and we spend about a third of that time asleep. That leaves about 16 hours to accomplish our goals. Most people either work or go to school, and in the United States, that cuts out about seven to eight hours of our day. So, after sleeping and working or going to school, a person has about nine hours to themselves. This time is used for eating, working out, spending time with family, or doing extra work. Most people don't want to spend their whole lives working, eating, and sleeping. There needs to be time for leisure and relaxing, otherwise, life would be way too drab. This article did not resonate with me for these reasons.
