Time Management

For this blog post I read this article: The Myth of "Too Busy" by Tim Grahl 


time


Okay, first of all, I didn't get a good impression of the author of this article. I personally don't think it's a big deal to have "wasted time" in your schedule. Especially in the time of corona, it's nice to just relax for a few hours and not be stuck to strict list of things to do. I wouldn't enjoy life if I felt like I had to constantly be working toward some kind of goal or achievement. However,  I do think that I could be better about prioritizing my time. I often think of myself as "busy", but I've noticed that I waste a significant amount of time on Instagram or  Facebook. I've scrolled around for hours without really doing anything other than sitting on the couch and staring at my phone. One way that I've been working on this is to set app timers on my phone. If I set a limit on Instagram for 30 minutes, my phone will block access to the app. During the school year, I plan to use these app timers to help me organize my time better. Even if I don't go as crazy as Grahl, I think I can make big improvements on my time management this semester.

Introductions Are Hard

 Hello! I'm Grayce and this is my second time taking an online class with Laura! All of the information in my original introduction   is still pretty accurate, so feel free to check it out. Honestly, I'm pretty bad at talking about myself and it's just as hard while blogging 😅. This is my senior year at OU (finally!). Since I'm an older college student (25), I'm very excited to graduate. I will soon be able to start my career as an educator which is completely terrifying! Over my quarantine summer, I've been surrounding myself with plants. I have a tendency to kill things, but I've found a few varieties of houseplants (snake plant and marble pothos) that can withstand some abuse lol. If you have any gardening advice, or suggestions for plant names, let me know :)  My plant friends:  This is my Marble Queen Pothos (needs a name!) This is my Snake plant (Sansevieria), which is currently named Georgina (I'm open to renaming)  Image Information:  "Marb

Do you see this crap out there? They are MURDERING us.  Brad rolls his eyes, but says nothing [Eric]: You're the best guy that we have! Dude, you know that we can't win this without you!  [Brad]: It
