Comments on: Good Habits http://www.gearfire.net/good-habits/ Tue, 06 Jan 2009 21:39:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: Olivia W http://www.gearfire.net/good-habits/#comment-29605 Olivia W Wed, 10 Sep 2008 16:58:11 +0000 http://www.gearfire.net/good-habits/#comment-29605 Starting things early is definitely not the easiest habit to develop, especially if you're dealing with a lot of work that you're not particularly excited about. With practice, though, it is (generally) possible to make that habit a part of your routine, and apply the strategy to any assignment, even those you're not very interested in. If you need to do something creative to start your assignment (like, to come up with paper ideas and the like), and you're absolutely drawing a blank and need to leave that until later, then at least go over your notes again, skim relevant parts of your textbook, or do a couple of quick searches online for relevant info. At the very least, those should give you a little bit of a jump on the project, and they might help you generate ideas as well.

Dan, I absolutely agree with you on getting things started in the morning—if I've got an assignment that I know is going to be a challenge, I try to get up and start working on it first thing, too.

Another thing that would be beneficial is to start your day with the most important (and probably most difficult) task/project. This, after exercising and a healthy meal. If you start the day doing the most important thing, the rest of the day you'll be MUCH more productive that if you start it with trival tasks, or with an hour of cofee time, etc. How you start the day is how you end the day. Nice tips.

I think the key thing is not to procrastinate as much as possible. If a student can master the skill to do a little work over a longer period of time it will still free them up to exercise and have more fun.

And it will take time before all can swing natually, but it's worth the work and time. I guess it all comes down to time management and physical and mental health. I fully agree.
