So after just reading two articles, one on the effectiveness of checklists and the other was about overcoming procrastination, I now think that time management is an important topic, both in this course and in all aspects of life.
Some skills I learnt about procrastination, that I was not already aware of before was the skill of “removing the first blockade” this is often my biggest enemy when it comes to starting and completing a task, now with the simple skill of just asking myself “why is this so hard to complete” or “why am I unable to achieve this” has been quite useful to help me overcome the blockade and start the task.
The other article I read about checklists was somewhat familiar to me, as I have been using checklists for the longest time. I wanted to read more to ensure I was getting the maximum efficacy of them, and I learnt that the most simplest activity of ticking off times on the checklist can increase motivation and productivity, so moving forward I think I will definitely continue using them and make them even more task specific.
