Time Strategies

The first article I read on time management was "Eat The Frogs First Thing in The Morning" and I related to this so much. I consider myself an active procrastinator, which is someone who works well under pressure, as the article described. However, this can get the better of me at times and I start to panic about when something is due. This mostly occurs when I have put something that I can do at any point during the day, in the evenings (i.e working out).

I really, really, really, really dislike waking up early in the mornings. The hardest part is getting out of bed, but once I am out, I am ready for the day. This is why I need to start putting working out in the mornings so that my evenings can be significantly freed up for homework or other important tasks.

The article I read was "The Important Habit of Just Starting," which paired really well with the one I described above. As I said, getting out of bed is extremely difficult for me, but once I am up, I am perfectly fine. This article talks about how all it takes it to just start a task. For me, that task is waking up in the morning. If I just wake up, I can go workout and then have plenty of time in the evenings for free time or school work. This process applies on a day to day basis, but also overall. Once I just start this routine, it will become easy. That is the hard part though, just starting.

Introduction to Ya Boi Jacob Heath

Hey all, My name is Jacob, but I go by many nicknames: Jake, Heath (my last name), DJ (it is a long story). You can also just call me Jacob, which is what most people do. My major is microbiology/pre-med. Microbiology is an odd major because the first microbiology course I took was not until second semester junior year, so I am glad I enjoyed it or else I would have wasted my first two years on a major I did not enjoy! I eventual plan is to become a doctor. I still have a long ways to get there, but I am hopeful. People always ask me what specialty I am planning on, and I always hate giving them an answer. That part of my life is sooooo far away that I know my views and likes on different areas of medicine will change. Because most people expect an answer, I tell them sleep medicine because something about sleep and dreams interest me so much. I was the kid who had night terrors and sleep walked (I still do sometimes), so I think it would be a good fit for me. My biggest hobby wo...

Week 12 Story: Seeking Refuge

A family of five stand in the long line at the Mexico/US border trying to get through. The mother asks the father if he has the correct paperwork needed to cross through. They believe there will be no issue as they are only seeking refuge in the states. With anticipation they wait. Longer and longer as the sun beats down overhead. Finally, after about six hours waiting, their turn comes. The border patrol asks for their paperwork. He stares at it for a long time as if trying to find something wrong with it. Eventually he hands it back to them and tells them to pass. The children start to get excited, but the mother tells them to calm down. They are not in the clear until the border is no longer in sight. As they begin the cross the bridge by foot, they are stopped by another patrol. He tells them to come over for a random inspection. The father does not know what they are going to inspect. All they have are the clothes on their backs. The officer searches each one of them, even t...
