Frittering my time

I wasted my time during the day. Although I have a lot of free time, I did use this time properly and thus affected my academic output. Then I was introduced to the Fritter Finder.

The Fritter Finder is a tool that lays out how much free time I have during the day. The parts in purple are the times during the day that I have free, while the rest is classes. It is evident that I have a lot of free time during my day, and I should use it to make progress with my work. Before I began using the Fritter Finder, I found that I was behind in both my Maxwell 123 class, and my buddhism class. I thought before that I would do my assignments at night, but the problem is I am not a night person. The fritter finder showed me that I have a lot of free time during the day and I should use it. The fritter finder also showed me that on the days that I have breaks between classes, I should use that time rather than waste it by doing nothing. I have found the time between Buddhism and CLS very useful to either get some CLS work done or make sure I am caught up on all of my work.

The fritter finder has been very effective in helping me better use my time. For example, I only have one class on Tuesday, and I have to have all of the readings done for my MAX and REL classes by Wednesday. Before frittering my time, I would have elected to do my MAX readings on tuesday and save my religion reading for Wednesday, the last possible day I had to read. After Dr. Blumin recommended that I use the Fritter Finder, I have found ways to get my work done very early in the day, so I have a lot of time at night to relax, rather than stress out about my work load. I chose this strategy because it really allows me to see all the time I had been wasting and makes me regret my past decisions.
