Time Strategies

  Image Taken From The Internet 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 examp...

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.

Assignments

Hi, I'm glad to see you here again. What I want to talk about is what I'm excited about going further on. I like the idea of working with Unity 3D but if I'm being honest I don't feel comfortable about it at the same time as I have never used it before. The part that caught my eye as I read it is the part about extra credit tasks. If I'm being honest, I haven't considered doing any of them until I read through it. I really like the idea of editing pictures. Also creating memes doesn't sound too bad either. Theres a picture of a seal by the way! I don't like how much we have to read for each task so far as I'm dyslexic so I struggle with it but I push through it. I don't think I have anything else to say so thank you again for stopping by and I'll see you all next time. Bye, Denis.

Growth Mindset

 From watching the videos of  Carol Dweck for this weeks tasks. I can really agree with her point of view. I strongly believe that anyone can learn anything they want and the only thing in our way from learning new things or improving at something is ourselves. I don't like when people give up when something is "too hard" I really think that when you struggle is when you learn the most as you are forced to get out of your comfort zone and work around your weaknesses.  I also find people that are growth minded happier as they don't look at things as a disadvantage but more so a chance to learn more and become a better version of themselves. I think this picture  I found on Pinterest explains that very well. I also really liked the idea of using "Yet". As in "I'm not good at maths yet" rather than saying "oh I'm just sh*t at maths". I just feel like some people give up on their capability too quick when all it takes is to look at ch...

Introduction To Someone

 Welcome back! So today I will introduce myself. Talk about things I like doing and things I don't. Well, I'm 20 years young, my nationality is Irish but I have Romanian parent. I never know what to answer when people ask me where I'm from as I have an accent, so I just say "I'm a foreign Irish person". I'm a big fan of sports (NOT FOOTBALL). My favourite sports at this moment are boxing, golf, surfing and the gym. I've done boxing for 5 years but stopped as I wanted to gain size and boxing had way too much cardio in it. So I joined the gym and I'm addicted to the gym. I train 6 days a week and my weekly gym plan is Push, Pull, Leg day and repeat. During my Push days I train chest, triceps and shoulders as to train those muscles you do exercises that involve a push motion. For Pull day I train my back, biceps and forearm as those muscles involve a pull motion to train them. And, leg day is just legs (LEAST FAVOURITE DAY IN THE GYM). The rest of the...
