Time Strategies

When it comes to procrastination I am a pro. Although every year I slowly get better with time management, procrastination is still one of my hurdles. The first article I read was The Important Habit of Just Starting and I realized just how true that statement is. My biggest problem is just starting after I start I get into a pretty good flow and don't like stopping. The second article I read was How to Beat Procrastination and I find that the two steps that will probably really help me are: visualizing how great it will be to be done and confront the downside of inaction. If I visualize how great it will be to be done and confront the downside of inaction I can picture all the other stuff I could get done just by doing my assignments now, also some of the free time I might end up with. and just the relaxed feeling of being done with something.

    I really enjoyed your post Trishna. And I think thats usually the way it works. I think if I had began college with the time management skills that I have as a senior, then I would've have never had any issues. Also, I read the same article and couldn't agree more. Most times, getting the ball rolling is the hardest part but if you make yourself take some initiative, the momentum can really lead to something fruitful. Lastly, the methods you hope to use to defeat procrastination really work! I have tried them myself. So, I hope you get utilize them to their fullest potential.

Week 14 Story: The Unknown Brother

One day Narada had a mango and he decided to go and offer it to one of Shiva’s sons. As he was making the climb up Mount Kailasa Narada wondered which of Shiva’s sons he should give the mango to. Unable to decide, Narada came up with an idea to decide who to give the mango to. Narada finally made it to the top and sitting there were the people he had come looking for. Shiva smiled and said, “What brings you here to today, Narada?” Narada smiled at Shiva and Parvati and then turned towards their sons and said, “I came to give this mango to one of your sons. I have also made a competition to decide who gets the mango. The person who can go around the world three times before the other gets the mango.” And with that statement Kartikeya jumped onto his peacock and immediately went off. As he was going around the world Ganesha just sat there and happily watched his brother going around the world. As they sat there Parvati and Narada were wondering why Ganesha did not get up...

Week 12 Story: Radha's Heartbreak

Radha was pacing around the lake in the village muttering to herself, “I have had enough of Krishna and his player ways.” “Who are you talking to,” said a voice from behind her. Radha whirled around and saw a mysterious man. She said, “Who are you?” The mysterious man replied, “Just a passerby who happened to hear you muttering to yourself. You know a good way to vent your anger out is to just talk about it.” Radha eyed the mysterious man and then she decided that it might be for the best if she talked to someone about it, and since she had no friends this man was just as good as any. “OK,” she said. And so her story began. “It all started many years ago. I was born and raised in a village called Gokul. My whole life I had grown up alongside Krishna, and as long as I can remember I have always loved him.  He was a very popular man among the gopis who always tried to catch his attention, but he always kept his eyes on me. I would do absolutely anything for h...
