Time & Task Management, Reading and Note-Taking

Major/Career Exploration Proposal chart      I am the freshman of Maxwell, and major is Economics. My plan is complete BS in economics and then study finance in master's degree.      Because  There are more job opportunities for finance majors. I have also consulted with teachers from overseas institutions. It is relatively easy to transfer an undergraduate degree in economics to a master's degree in finance, and the economics studied in the undergraduate course can also be a solid foundation for finance. So, I chose to study economics as an undergraduate.

  Anti-Procrastination Strategy: Time Wasters How?      I started using this form at the beginning of this March, and my current plan is to adjust the content in the form once a month.  This is the original time-wasters chart. My chart      I've added a column to this table to analyze why and how my attention is being distracted by these.      I listed the Apps that affects me when I was completing assignments and I also tried to summarize the reasons for being distracted.  I will spend a month trying not to be affected by these distractors. If I can do it by the end of the month, cross that one off and add the next time waster.  https://www.njlifehacks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/anti-procrastination.jpg      If this method works, it may help me to get rid of procrastination to the greatest extent.  I think if you want to solve a problem, you need to find out what the root of the problem is.

    SU/Cornell Note-Taking System What is SU/Cornell note-taking system?          It is a method that could be used in all courses.                    One page of my notebook is divided to A, B and C, three parts. Part A, which is the biggest part is for in-class note taking . Part B is recall column , which used for recall after the class. Part C is the summary box . My note for MAT 221.      This is my first attempt at using this note-taking method. It is not the same way I used to take notes. I didn't add recall column and summary box before. Therefore , my recall after class is just to read the note again, and I didn't write the key word again. If I follow the old method, I may forget the new knowledge that is not impressive in a long time.     I believe if I continue to stick with SU/Cornell nota-taking system, this can be greatly improved.      T...

    Make a schedule for yourself！！ Why?      When I got into college life, I found it very important to use my time wisely. In other words, I need to be as efficient and productive as possible. Making a detailed schedule for whole week is a good way to achieve this goal. 👍 How?      I didn't have the habit of making schedules before. But after I use the schedule, I rarely rush to catch deadlines anymore. Because on Mondays, I'll make the schedule and set it up as my laptop's wallpaper. That way I can see what tasks I need to do at any time and how often I'll be turning in my homework. Here is my weekly schedule on Monday (Feb 14). Feb 14 to Feb 20     This is how it looks today (Feb 18). ✌✌✌     I think this is the best way for people who are "tactile learners" like me, to write tasks down.  This minimizes past dues or rushes resulting in low job accuracy.     Overall, m y goal is to stick to the act of making...
