The first article that I read was "How Checklists Train Your Brain To Be More Productive And Goal-Oriented."I learned that dopamine is released from our brain when we experience small amounts of success Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is linked to feelings of pleasure. Checklists are a great way to get things. Speaking from experience, I love making checklists and they really help me get things done in a timely manner. When I see a checklist my goal is to prioritize it and get that done first. This helps with my procrastination and once I start checking things off it motivates me to keep going and get it done.

The second article that I read was "How to Build a realistic Study Plan That You'll Actually Stick to." From this article, I learned that a good way to plan time for your classes is to make a realistic schedule of your other activities such as work and things you do in your day-to-day life. Then in the free time that you have, you can start to fill in and make time for your classes. I am more likely to follow a schedule if I have it written down somewhere that I will see it every day. I have found that using planners really helps me and I stay organized. It is also important that you give yourself enough time to finish your assignments and are not rushing so that you can do quality work.
Hey Gabriela! I used to be really bad at time management. To fix that I began putting everything that I had to do into my calendar on my phone and laptop so that I can check and see what I have to do and when. I also write down tasks that I need to do on sticky notes and put them above my desk so that I can remind myself. This works somewhat like a checklist to me.
