Group Tasks

In university I am finishing up a group project, however, I am starting a new one very soon as well. I plan to learn from my experience and try new methods when communicating with my new group.

Quitting Time

For the next week, I plan to implement a new technique that will hopefully help me remain focused and take fewer long breaks.

Finding A Study Space

Knowing where you work best is critical to productivity. I work best in places where I have my own space and a somewhat quiet environment, this being said, I am unable to work in complete silence; I enjoy white noise that is not distracting. My room has always been my go-to study space, it is … Continue reading Finding A Study Space
