The ABCDE Method: Accomplish Tasks more Efficiently

I recently came across the ABCDE method that’s similar to what I do to stay productive each day: instead of lumping up all your tasks, sort them into categories and tackle each of them differently. Here’s an outline of the method. Hope it helps :)

100 days of productivity | day 1

Hi everyone!

I've been following the studyblr community for a while and I don't exactly have a studyblr, but I really wanted to join the 100 days of productivity challenge, and I think I need a place to keep track of my daily achievements so I made this tumblr. Is a requirement to have a studyblr to join?

I don't think this one will be a studyblr though since, for now, I will only be tracking my progress this way (with those screenshots). BUT I'm a first year medical student and I'm starting first year of engineering next year, so most of my daily activities are study related. So maybe it will be? I don't know, you be the judge.

Anyway, for now I just want to focus on the things I REALLY need to get done, and I have a very long list of goals. And surely later I will start taking pictures of my notes, my desk and stuff like that.

Also, I will be tracking other things that I really need to do better/more often like eat healthier, take care of my skin, be more active, etc.

So, the screenshot on the left is a list of the things I need to get done today. I'm starting ridiculously late (or early) because I'm sick, felt terrible the entire day and slept the entire day because of that. So tonight I'm definitely not going to be able to sleep, and I'm feeling better, so I better start now. It's in Spanish because that's my first language. It says:

Finish introduction

Do problems/exercises

Revise linear and quadratic functions

Wash hair

Shower

Wish me luck!

UPDATE: I'm feeling really sick, so I think I chose the wrong day to start. I did finish the introduction, showered and washed my hair, but that was it. Spent the rest of the day on bed. Maybe tomorrow...

[star-anise]

The most valuable thing I learned doing a Masters degree with depression, anxiety and ADHD was to change my “things I’m bad at” list to “things I can’t do on my own.” Stop thinking of them as things I could do if I tried hard enough, and accept that I can’t accomplish them by effort and willpower alone; they’re genuine neurocognitive deficits, and if I need to do the thing, then just like a blind person reading or a mobility impaired person going up a storey in a building, I need to find a different method.

I’m “bad at” working on long-term projects without an imminent deadline or someone breathing down my neck? Okay, let’s change that: I can’t work on long-term projects without an imminent deadline and someone breathing down my neck. So let’s create an imminent deadline and recruit neck-breathers. Find a sympathetic prof who will agree that 3 weeks before the due date they expect me to show them my preliminary notes and bibliography. Get a friend I trust to block off an hour to sit with me and keep asking, “Are you working on your project?” Write a blog post about my progress. Arrange to trade papers and proofread them with another student.

Accept your limitations and learn to leverage them, instead of buying the neurotypical fairytale that they’ll go away if you just try hard enough.

My newly organized desk is making me really happy!

[biochemis-tree]

January 21st, 2017

Current desk situation: organic chem notes from last year, current notes, overflowing binder of things to do (including a grant proposal due in a few months????), biochem and chem textbook that I neglected until too late (do yourself a favour and don’t fall behind on readings). Not seen in this picture: post-lab reports that I haven’t finished because I have a biochem midterm in a few days, my personal lab notebook (I also accidentally brought home my official lab notebook oops), and papers, papers, papers everywhere. On the plus side I’m finally out of my studying slump!

(The flowers are for Chinese New Year, let’s hope I don’t kill them this time)
