As Jon Bon Jovi and and my english teacher, Mr. Barker put it, “We’re halfway there! Woah-oh, livin’ on a prayer!” It is week six everybody and yes, I am most certainly living on a prayer. I feel quite nervous as we are approaching the halfway mark on the Genius Hour project. Fear not, though! Yours truly is not just using prayers to get by, but by also using something else, productivity. My spreadsheet has made productivity much easier. I am very thankful that I properly paced myself and have not waited till the last second to write, research or update. While I have posted blog updates on the due date, I have never been hunched over my laptop, frantically writing at 4:55PM on a Sunday.
That is just the thing about productivity. It is commonly thought that productive people are always working and on the go, 24/7. This is not really the case. Productivity, at least in my case, is doing the work little by little to get the job done rather than letting the work pile up over time, which is not good for anyone. Of course, I am not at all saying that I am completely on top of all my work all of the time. I am human. For example, I take five minute breaks that turn into ten minute breaks. I’ve found though, that with the correct time management and organization methods (that vary though depending on the person), one can find plenty of time to get everything fall into place. Another thing to know about being productive is accepting the fact that not every little thing is going to work out perfectly all the time. Hiccups might happen, plans might get sidetracked, and sometimes people overwork themselves. What is important though, is using the right tools (like a spreadsheet for the Genius Hour project in the case of yours truly) to make sure the work is correctly organized and achievable to help one achieve one’s goals and finish one’s projects. Honestly, without the right methods, I would not be able to get these blog posts done on time!
