This week I tracked how I spent my time in much more detail then I ever would normally. I used my current method of organizing my time – Google Calendar – to write about how I spent all of my waking hours each day of this assignment. The word cloud graphic above represents the activities that took up more or less of my time. Unsurprisingly, activities that are necessary for survival like eating and sleeping took the most time from my day. Cooking was a close third. I spend about half as much time doing homework as I do in class each day. I’ve been trying to work on homework immediately after the class I take each day, working about a week ahead at a time. For the most part, this works well for me, but I still have to maintain more flexibility for projects that require multiple feedback cycles within a week. I had a number of fun social activities this week that took up a lot of my time. Even though I am working hard to keep up with schoolwork, I still prioritize my experiences with others. Prioritizing life outside of work is vital to doing my best work and thinking creatively. I find a lot of inspiration from experiences, so continuing to make sure I am going places, seeing people, and engaging with art is incredibly important with me. The areas I see for growth are in getting off of technology for at least a half an hour before bed. I would like to spend more time reading. Getting to bed earlier would help me feel more motivated and increase my productivity.
