Weekly timetable
In the session we made a weekly timetable to help see how we have allocated time to manage day to day tasks and to create the bigger picture. The advice for the weekly timetable was to not make it overly specific and to have broad allocations, such as research for cop.
reflection
With creating the weekly timetable, it was apparent that this method doesn't work for me due to liking a daily tick list instead. However, I will try to incorporate the weekly timetable due to it being better for thinking ahead rather than stuck in day to day tasks and to reflect on where I can fit in these daily tasks.
From the session I tried using the pomodoro method and it worked pretty well and I managed to stay focused on the work I was doing. The only downside of the method however was that once there was a distraction or a break in the cycle it was very hard to start the 25 minutes again and the longer I kept going the more distracted I was getting. So perhaps I should give longer breaks or work for a longer amount of time until I become distracted.
