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 11 Story: The Voice

A few months had passed since the Jackal/Lion cub was made fun of for using his voice. Many had forgotten as he had fell into the background during the games and activities that he went to. He still had the body of a lion and that was enough to stop others from continuing to make fun of him. The worst part about not using his voice is that the cub was terrified to pursue his true dream: to sing. One day the cub was running errands for his father (the lion). He had some food strapped on his back that he was carrying home and was getting bored on the long walk back home. Then, a thought popped into his head. He looked around and saw that no one was there, so he began to sing. What many do not know about a jackal's voice is that they have the most beautiful singing voice. It had been so long since the cub had been able to use his voice that is was a little hoarse, but shortly it became a lovely clear tune that his mother (the jackal) used to sing for him when he was little.
