Entry 6

This week I listened to three podcasts under wired study tips, those three were 5 study mistakes students make, Changing a bad habit, and Fool proof ways to stop a procrastination cold.

I found them very interesting and helpful.  The podcast 5 study mistakes students make helped me the most I learned that even though it may seem hard to get organized and stay on track that if you are consistent in the little things it can go a long way in keeping consistent in the long run. If you start with little things it becomes a daily part of your routine and then just a way of life and not such a chore. In the podcast it was recommended that instead of sitting down for hours a couple days a week and studying that even just reading for 15 minutes everyday helps you retain more information, this is something I am definitely going to try. I would recommend all the podcasts to anyone that needs help to gain better study tips and even to try to stop procrastinating. I think that all three helped me see things that I have been doing wrong and gave me helpful ideas on how to stop and change bad habits and procrastination.


This week I also took a quiz on right brain/left brain learning, I learned that I am left brain dominant. People that are left brain dominant tend to be rational, analytical, objective and look at things in parts not necessarily as a whole. I think that for the most part this is me I also realized that the way I learn and work is affected by which side of your brain is more dominant. I do like to work alone, I prefer a quite room without a lot of distractions and I like to read independently and not with others. This is exactly who I am, I also learned that I should learn to incorporate some right brain traits as well so that I do not get too set in my ways. Sometimes I can catch myself staying too much to myself and not letting others help.
