3 Steps to Recapture Time by @JOYNICOLEM Rule 1 Refuse to yield your 1st 15 minutes spend 5 minutes envisioning your day identify 3-4 tasks that you need to complete day day break those tasks into 3-4 steps I really like this rule.  Just spending a short amount of time organizing everything that you need to do that day.  I believe that I would be more organized if I started my day off doing this. Rule 2  Pruning I liked this rule.  It basically says to look through your life every once in a while and rearrange everything.  Take stock, see what you want to keep, and getting rid of everything else.  When I start something new, I tend to be really organized and ready to go, but after a while I become apathetic.  So shaking everything up every once and a while might keep me more engaged.

Why Sleeping May Be More Important Than Studying By Katrina Schwartz One thing that my parents always told me growing up is that if you are unprepared for a test, it is better to get a good night's sleep than it is to stay up all night studying.  This article helped confirm that in my mind.  I like the idea of public schools starting at 10 a.m. so the students have enough time to sleep.  I did not know that it is important to establish a sleeping routine, or to not eat carbs before bed.  I did know that looking at screens before bed is harmful to your quality of sleep.

The Power of Concentration What is at least one thing that the article CONFIRMED for you that you knew already? This article confirmed in my head the fact that meditation is a good thing. What is at least one NEW thing that you learned that you did not know before? I learned the meditation for a short time a day, every day, can help you concentrate more on something. What is the one thing you are now CURIOUS to explore (i.e. something you want to try in your life, something you want to research and learn more about, etc.) and what are you going to do in order to act on that curiosity? I am more curious now about approaching mindfulness through meditation.  I believe that I am going to find some books on the subject, and attempt sitting quietly for a few minutes every morning, and see if it helps my concentration.  Source:  Wikimedia Commons
