Time Strategies

The first article I read was “The Myth of Too Busy”. There are some views of his I agree on, and some I do not. I do believe if we changed our mindset that we are not “too busy” to “not prioritizing our time” can make a difference, and it is in fact true. I always think I am too busy or there are not enough hours in the day, when in fact if I cut out my midday nap, or woke up earlier, I could get a lot more done. There are few things I can modify in my time to create a more efficient schedule, I just need to beat procrastination mindset. One thing I do not agree with, is cutting out that one hour before bedtime to lay down and watch tv. The end of the day is tiresome, and we all need a little break in our day. Another concept I do not agree with, is telling people that you do not prioritize your time for a certain thing rather than saying you are too busy. I feel that that can come off as rude in some cases.
The second article I read was, “Eat the Frogs First Thing in the Morning”. This article was very helpful. It is quite smart to divide your tasks into four sections, and start your day be accomplishing the most dreadful task on the to-do list. It will give a kick-start to your day and a feeling of accomplishment. If I make a change in my time management skills, this article contains my go-to approaches. 
I am usually quite good at keeping my life organized and sticking to a schedule, but I do find myself waiting until the night before a deadline to complete it. I do not feel the urgency to do it unless there is a time crunch. For this class I was able to sit down and create a hard schedule that I will make myself follow. It fits very well in my time slots, therefore keeping my days organized.

Introduction to Jinal Wani

Hi! My name is Jinal Wani, I am twenty one years old and a third year undergraduate student here at the University of Oklahoma. I am currently studying health and exercise science in hopes of one day being a physical therapist or an athletic trainer. I grew up in Flower Mound, Texas, a suburb on the outskirts of Dallas. I grew up in a household with my mom, dad, brother and dog. My brother is a recent graduate of the University of Texas at Dallas with a degree in mechanical engineering.  Although I am a third year student, this is only my second semester attending the University of Oklahoma. My first two years of undergraduate school were spent at the University of Texas at Austin, of course I just had to make the switch between the two most rivalous schools. I found myself in Austin to be very lost amidst the big city, and overwhelmed with the culture shock from my hometown to a busy part of town. It took a lot of humbling myself to finally admit I needed to make a change

Storytelling: The Twins

Image
Once upon a time there lived two twin girls who lived in an attic of a beautiful mansion. They were the servant girls of a horrific woman and her three daughters. The two twin girls lost their family long ago to a car accident and found themselves with no place to live and no money. The girls, Sarah and Tara, accepted jobs as maids in order to support themselves and gain a place to live. Their boss made them do ridiculous tasks just because she had to the right to. She had a tight leash on them because she knew that they had very little money and would not survive on their own.  One day when Tara and Sarah were cleaning the homeowner’s closet, they came across something quite peculiar. Tucked away in a corner, was a plethora of gold bars. The girls had never laid their eyes on anything as precious and valuable as this. They were overcome with mixed emotions as they pondered what to do. Sarah thought they should leave it alone as the mother might notice they were gone, but Tara sugge
