Your toughest work is defining what your work is! –  Peter Drucker

SUMMARY

• Understanding time management, and setting important goals.

PRACTICE ROOM (TUTORIALS)

In this ‘room’ you are going to try Getting Things Done (GTD).

STEP 1: MAKE A LIST

• Film: Sneak on the lot, and a blogpost (?)
• Math Apps: Single homework assignment
• French: 3 assignments due that are taking away 20% of my grade, however there isn’t a late assignment markdown.
• Env Sciences: Niche Partitioning assignment
• English: All the President’s Men assignments
• History: Italy assignment
• TOK: Nothing
• College Apps: Still have to do some.

STEP 2: NOTICE WHAT YOU NOTICED

• Since my French grade is the lowest, I will try to focus on that, but I think Film will be the easiest to work on.
• Day 1 classes (French, Film, Math Apps) are of a high priority than day 2 classes (Env Sciences, English, History)

STEP 3: SET A TIMER

I will try to focus on the last blogpost (screenwriting), I will try my utmost to not get distracted.
