Module 3: Efficiency in the Digital Age

Hi, everybody. Today we are learning the module 3: Efficiency in the Digital Age. Inside the module, we learn how to improve our work efficiency and know what distracts us when we want to do stuffs. The most useful thing I learn is the tip to avoid digital distractions in part3: digital distraction. We are often distracted by some digital signals like emails, messages etc. There is a useful tip inside the PowerPoint which is using App SelfControl. This app will automatically lock our windows until we finish the work we need to do. It will prohibit us to receive messages and emails when we are working. We will save a lot of time by using this app. (App SelfControl Page 24) Now I’m using the app as I have a long essay to do. This app lock my windows for the whole day when I am working on my paper : ). Although the feeling is not so good, but I only spends 4 hours to finish my long essay (normally I need 6 hours). And also, in the future I may create a google calendar to schedule the work for me. (Google Calendar Page 18). Google Calendar provide the service for us to put all the works inside and create a reasonable time schedule for us. If anybody want to know how to use SelfControl or Google Calendar. There are links below about the instructions:
