The most useful things that I learned in this module is how to overcome procrastination. The first step in overcoming procrastination is like other scientific methods, to identify procrastination and know that I am procrastinating. Procrastination is different from laziness, which defines that I am doing somethings that I should not be doing instead of the task that I should do. I think I am procrastinating because I am always hesitate if I should do it now and stop to do something unrelated to the task and then come back when I feel like I am in a good mood to do it. To overcome procrastination, I listed the things that will come up in the future in the calendar and ask my friend to check up if I am doing the right thing.

I have already broken down large tasks into small parts to make sure that I can finish it one by one. A big project might seem to long to finish, but breaking it down actually help me out. I am able to finish a small part of it every day and keep tracking my progress so I won’t be too stressful when the project due date is approaching.

In the future, I want to make sure I balance the free time and time for tasks. I need to know that what is a good estimate hours that I should be working on tasks and free time for leisure so that my day will be more substantial.

I would like to say to college students that having procrastination is common for college student, and admitting procrastination is the first step to overcome it. When you know that beating procrastination will make your life better, it won’t be a problem!

The most useful things I learned in module 2 are to get my hands on blogs and Google Tools. To be frank, in first year student survey class I have done similar things like tracking my time by recording my activity on a spreadsheet. It words very well in few weeks after the activity. I can read exactly what I am doing hour by hour, and I know where my time goes. However, I do realize that my schedule is not too regular as a student. For example, in my college life, I do not have a morning class, so I would like to stay up late and get up late like 10:A.M. in the morning, I understand that it is not a good habit but it seems hard to make changes. Also, I find there are time breaks between classes, and I usually just play on my mobile phone and not doing any study. It usually takes an hour and so, I should definitely make use of these times and preview the next class. Based on what I’ve experienced in the past and I read in the time management section, I would say that time management is so important for a college student. If a college student can keep a regular work and rest schedule, and not wasting time on meaningless things during breaks, it is half of success in college. I think college course load is never too much and abundant for any student, it is the time management that talks.
