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.

Technology

 Good evening. I'm back! This week I found out about some tools we will be using throughout  this semester. So far I can say I'm really excited to create graphics using canvas, cheezburger and so on. I can't wait to figure out which of those will work the best with my workflow.  I think trying out Wordpress will be good. I like the idea of trying out different tools as you never know which works best for you until you try it out!  There's a picture of the first dinner I had in Crete. I hope your craving pizza now! Because I am... See you next week! Or later on today.. Bye, Denis.

Unity Tutorial 06

 Today I have done another tutorial and a challenge.  Screenshot of the Unity Tutorial Doing this tutorial and challenge I have learn to add sound effects and music in the game. I found that really cool as the game did feel slightly dull without it. This tutorial was fairly easy so I wasn't struggling. The challenge on the other hand was what I expected. A challenge that was nerve wrecking at times.  I never thought of adding music to my game and now that I have done it. It really made me think of the different genres I could be choosing from. I need to start looking at gun shot sound effects too. The challenge game was pretty fun too. It reminds me of flappy bird in some way.  Overall I'm really glad I got to do this tutorial as it made me realise of one part of creating my game I have not thought of until this point. Thank you all again for stopping by.  See you later, Denis.
