Time Strategies

Today we are talking about time management!

Welcome back!

I believe time management is very important and very easy to get into bad habits. Reading the articles I found "11 Ways Unsuccessful People Mismanage Their Time" very interesting. I think breaking down what you do every day of every weeks really opens your eyes. Doing it in the past I realised that I have so much more time to do anything I want if I start planning my time. 

I personally don't like using a study plan template. I use the Reminder app on my macbook and iphone. I find it easier to keep track of my due dates and due tasks. I usually write it in this order "module name - task - due date". What I really like about the reminder is that when you tick it off is gone forever. Theres no better feeling than ticking tasks off when they are completed and not think about it again. 

What I also done last year and will continue doing is setting YOUR OWN DUE DATES. For example, what I done last year is set up a due date for every big project 7-10 days before the actual due day. Your pressured with time a little more but it will pay off as you will have plenty of time to do anything you missed out and review your work multiple times. 

I also find giving yourself a break for a few minutes from time to time really good and refreshing. Sometimes working for too long reduces the quality of your work so a little break can really get you to focus properly and continue the high quality work. 

You just have to find what works for you! And how you find that out is by trial and error.

See you all soon

Thanks,

Denis.

Reading 09

Hi all. This week we have focused on fixing our papers. This was challenging as I find it hard write academically. I am glad to get the chance to improve my writing. For this week I have rewritten my introduction and conclusion as I believe they weren't good. I also fixed up my paragraphs where I found mistakes.  I am pretty happy with how it is at this moment and I am happy to continue on with my weekly tasks after Easter break. I hope everyone will enjoy this break as we all need it. Thank you, Denis.

Doing Reading 05

This week we have broken down my research articles into 6 themes. We had to break down our writings into sentences to shorten it down to find the themes. I have done that before doing my own writings. I found shortened the articles into sentences to help me develop them in my own words. Using those notes I have and rereading my writings I came down to the following themes. The link between Game Progression and Engagement Automating Game Progression Difficulty balance within levels What is Game Progression (Key Elements) Implementing education (eg. chemistry) within game progression The difference between Progression and Emergence Those themes and note will help me write my own bibliography.  I will see you all new week. Thank you, Denis.

Unity Tutorial 06

 Hi all, Today we have done our second last tutorial of Unity! This week we have added in a health bar for our player and a new character. The bar looks great and I was happy to learn how to do one. I am glad I got to do one and see how it works. Screenshot of my own work. The bar was very simple to do compare to what I thought it would be like. I am very happy to be one week away from finishing the Unity tutorials.  I struggle with the animations to get it right so that took me quite a while to do for my new character but I managed it at the end! This is the first game that really feels like a game from all Unity tutorials we have completed so far.  I will see you all next week when I get to finish up this game! Thank you, Denis.
