Every year, I find it more difficult to motivate myself during the second semester. Â Half of me is still holding onto the last days of winter break, wishing I were tucked under the covers in my big bed at home, while the other part of me is already day dreaming about summer and the freedom it offers. Â In an effort to make my last semester in college the most productive one yet, I researched different productivity tools that possess concentration tactics.
1.     The notion that one should procrastinate one type of homework by doing homework for another class.  This works…sometimes.
2. Â Â Â Â Exercise, at least a few times a week, increases focus.
3. Â Â Â Â This Ted Talk by David Allen: http://ed.ted.com/on/OQFsvelw
4.     …And this Ted Talk by Shawn Achor.
5. Â Â Â Â Figure out what times of day you work best and do work in these hours.
Welcome back and have a good spring!
