Time Strategies

Time Management Strategies:


I found that it was never very useful for me personally to have a scheduled timetable of when I was going to study or do certain assignments or tasks. I could just never stick to them for multiple reasons. I found it much easier to have a checklist of what I needed to complete and by when I needed to complete it. I managed my time by doing different assignments or tasks from different modules on the same day. So I would say I need to complete the lab for web design by today and that will take me roughly two hours to finish and submit and then once that finished I would go onto what was due first and what would take up most of my time to finish and break it up into sections so i'm not tiring myself out trying to get it done all in one day. I would always try to not leave anything to the last minute to complete because the quality of the task would go way down and it would stress me out doing that. As Matt Mayberry from entrepreneur.com says:
A quote




I took this quote from the "Increase your creative output with 14 time management tips just for creatives!" article about time management. For this class I'd say it's good to note down what what days you will be completing these tasks and do it realistically because otherwise you will never stick to it. It's a good idea that when your not busy to get ahead and complete tasks days before they are due to close because it's easier on yourself to get ahead and finish up other assignments from other modules that you may have. 
               I have always struggled with procrastinating not when it comes to completing tasks on time but when it comes to studying because I always found it to be a tedious thing to do. I found this article very helpful wen it comes to this: 'How to beat Procrastination'. It gives you simple steps to take to avoid procrastinating in the future.
            I found these articles very useful to me because I can relate to them very well and I would actually take on board their points for helping me with these problems that I may face. I learned that when it comes to procrastination that I could give myself a reward if I complete the task that I was supposed to do. This may motivate me to get things done more quickly and effectively. My biggest challenges would be not giving myself enough time to get assignments done correctly because your're given these assignments to do and labs and it can become overwhelming at times because there is so much to do at once. I think allocating set times times and organizing my timing better may help me out when it comes to this stage. At the moment I try to get things done ahead of time so when I suddenly have a lot to do by a certain date and time the other stuff is already finished. This works sometimes but not all the time.

Introduction to a future something....?

Introduction Post: The best class that I took last semester was 'Design Process & Practice'. I really enjoyed this module last semester because I found it to be very interesting and creative. I really enjoyed using the program, 'Illustrator' when I was making posters, leaflets and some lab task work. I found it to be exciting because it was a module where I could let my creativity fly! I also found the group assignment to be informative and fun. I found working in a group to be an experience which intrigued me. I worked on projects in a group for an assignment and we would meet up and describe our ideas and do brainstorms. We also chose to do one task each and come in and meet up and discuss and present what we each had done. I chose to do the research and statistics part because I taught that i would found that job to be the most interesting for me. This module really helped me gain a better understanding of how to use the program, 'illustrator' and how t

Final Game Design Document

I have completed my final GDD (Game Design Document). My previous GDD didn't have enough detailed information in it where I would be able to hand it over to games developer and programmer. It would have not been enough information for my game to be produced and made the way that I wanted. Therefore I updated my DunDoc . All of the required information for my game will be in my GDD DunDoc. There is now a game architecture feature in my GDD as well as any other information that was needed. Screenshot of my DunDoc GDD

Game Vision Statement

Image
Welcome back to my blog! Today, I will be discussing my chosen game genre and what the game-play of my game will be like. The genre that I chosen for my game is a children's interactive educational story based game. The style of the game will be simplistic yet, cute meaning that I will have 'cute' looking characters in my game to appeal to children. The game will be colourful and 'animated' looking meaning, it won't have a realistic style to it. I believe choosing this type of style will appeal to my target audience for my game. My game will be story-based which means that the player will choose from a list of choices in response to for example; a question or a route that they may take.                There will be many interesting tasks and choices that the player must make in order to not bore the player resulting in the player quitting the game before completing it. The game will be very interactive which will  hopefully keep the player interested and inve
