Journal Entry #14

1. I do not have a specific system to decide what I will do each day. I keep track of everything I need to do by jotting it down on my phone calendar or notes, but I almost never do them in the order I plan. I feel organized because I know exactly what it is that I must do but I normally decide when and how I will do them as my day goes by. I try to take things one step at time so that I do not overwhelm myself.

2. I would not use the self-management tools in these chapters, as I feel more comfortable with having reminders on my phone. It is not that I do not find the self-management tools useful, it is more that I have found my method useful. I always have my phone on me and I am decent at keeping mental notes of what I need to do or keep up with. My phone contains a calendar where I can set dates as well as a notes section where I can copy upcoming assignments. I also have a binder similar to the project folder where I have separate sections for each of my classes.
