I'm doing 26 things
Well got through the pensum-list for todays exam. And got to talk about maybe 3 lines out of a 529 page-pensum. But did ok (10 on the danish 13-scale). Not impressed with myself though… For the strategies, setting the alarm clock didn’t work – just made me stressed, when the pages/time ratio went down…
So… I changed to a strategy of reading 10 pages, no matter how long it took, and then taking ½ an hour off, doing something else… only, the breaks tend to get a lot longer… But when I kept the schedule, it actually worked ok. After ten pages, the concentration was spent, but ½ an hour was enough to destress without forgetting what you were reading about. At the end I was able to read almost 20 pages without loosing the concentration, but I must admit it was only when I got so close to the exam, that I had to speed up to make it in time. No matter the page number, I found it was important to break it up in well defined bites, and NOT keep pushing the break 2-3 pages ahead of you!
Also, I tried to practice writing on top of the page the day and time every time i left for a break and when i got back – makes the day much easier to overlook, helping to avoid the hours floating into one another, and also, it is good for keeping track of how much you’ve achieved this day – and for how long your breaks are becomming!!! :-)
