Deadlines, Argh!

1. What is the origins of the word deadline? The origins are uncertain. It may have referred to lines that did not move.
2. What impact will missing today's deadline have on you? It will impact my grade, I'll miss 10 points for each day I don't turn my photos in. It also makes my teacher lose respect for me because it is not seen as responsible to miss a deadline.
3. Have you had issues meeting deadlines in other classes? If so, what consequences did you have for missing those deadlines? In the past I have, it'd make me lose points but it is uncommon for me to miss deadlines.  Today was a careless mistake because I forgot the camera thinking this class was tomorrow.
4. Do you find yourself missing deadlines on a regular basis? If so, what do you think causes you to miss deadlines? No, if I do it's because I forgot or because of a lack of motivation to work because of personal reasons that may drain me of my energy.
5. What specifically kept you from meeting today's photo deadline? Forgetting the photos and class were today. I believed I had an extra day because I have Mr.Reeves' class every weekday and it gets confusing whether it's an a or b day.
6. What do you plan to do to complete this task as quickly as possible so you can earn as much credit as you can? Make sure I complete all the photos today and not forget the camera tomorrow. Make sure to get to school earlier to turn in my photos.

1. Which of those eight suggestions do you think might help you be more efficient? Making a to do list. I like lists and I forget to write deadlines when I'm distracted so when I hear information such as the photos are due Monday, I should remember to write it down on a list of what I have to do.
2. Which of the suggestions is the toughest for you to complete? Why? I think saying no because I like to spend time with my family to not lose sight of what I value in life. Sometimes my sister will ask me to watch a movie or go for a walk and I'll do that instead of work when I should.
3. Are you a morning or night person? I'm a night person.
3A. What are some of the problems you might run into because you are more productive at certain times of the day? When I should work, at school, I get distracted because that is not the peak of when I have energy but I'm trying to get my body accustomed to working earlier and sleeping earlier.
4. How can you create a dedicated study time for yourself? I can tell people I'm going to be in my room for a certain amount of time and to not bug me please. Maybe even lock my door and tell them that my work takes precedence at that time.
5. What are three direct things could you do to eliminate distractions? I could put my phone under my bed, lock my door, and put headphones on or earplugs because I get easily distracted with sound.

1. Are there any correlations to taking control of your homework and time management? Yes, you become more used to working in specified times once you've made a habit of them and won't dread them so much.
2. What is your ideal study setting and mood? A comfortable place sitting with my legs out and positioning my back against a wall rather than in a chair with lots of light. I also like a lot of quiet because I'll focus on the noises around me if I don't have that and lose track of what I'm doing.
3. What are your biggest distractions when it comes to studying? Voices, when I'm working especially in my school my biggest weakness are voices because my brain focuses on them and I can''t think clearly. It's really hard to get back to work or motivated if I've become distracted and it sparks anxiety in me.
4. What three things could you do to help with those distractions? I could listen to calm music, take breaks to drink water when I've become distracted, or do a little stretch and breathe.
