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.

Week 15 Extra Credit Reading: Lang's Fairy Tales II, Part A

 These notes are based off Blue Beard which is from The Blue Fairy Book by Andrew Lang (1889).  This is a story that I've seen referenced, but I've never read it myself! It was scary. I thought the bride was going to die. She honestly got lucky I don't like that it was her brothers that saved her If I rewrote it, I would make her fight Blue Beard, or outsmart him somehow Maybe she could hide in the bloody closet and pounce on him Also, she could've just run away after she found out! Anyway, so Blue seems like a pretty sweet guy.  He has an ugly blue beard, so no one wants to marry him. They are also weirded out because a bunch of his old wives have gone missing (clue), which is fair However, with all his money, he is able to woo a new bride He went away on a trip, and gave her all the keys to his mansion She can open all the doors BUT not the secret closet (familiar rule...) She obviously goes into the closet and sees dead women. There are bodies all over the floor  ...

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...
