Deadlines in Journalism

  1. The term deadline has uncertain origins but early uses of it appear to have referred simply to lines that did not move. 
  2. Missing todays deadline will impact me by making me behind on all of my other work that needs to be done.
  3. I have had a few issues meeting deadlines in my other classes, and some consequences for those late assignments was getting points off my initial grade.
  4. I was always able to meet deadlines in my class, up until recently for multiple personal reasons. There were a few times when I was unable to meet deadlines before mostly because I would forget that we had the assignment, well assigned.  
  5. What specifically kept me from meeting today's deadline was the lack of time to work on the assignment.
  6. What I plan to do to complete this task as soon as possible so I may earn credit is to work on my assignment whenever I can. This includes work on blogs at home, and coming in during fit and/or lunch to work on assignment, either both or something else.

  1. In all honesty, all of the suggestions from the website are every efficient especially for a very inefficient person like me. But I do believe that not getting sidetracked is the most important. If I were to get sidetracked, I would end up not doing any work so it's important for me not to get distracted.
  2. I think budgeting my time is the toughest for me to complete because I've never been good with schedules and I just end up cramming work into short amount of times. And when taking breaks I say I'll give myself ten minutes which ends up being half and hour.
  3. I am a night person (but not for much, I rather sleep).
    1. Some difficulties to being a night person, is that when I go home from school my time is already limited, but I want to mess around and do other things instead of work because it's been what I've been doing all day at school already.
  4. I can create a dedicated study time by having someone, such as my parent, tell me to get to work, sit down and remove all distractions from my reach so I may work.
  5. Some things to do to get rid of distractions is to find a quiet, distraction-free area to study, remove (all) electronic devices, such as phone, from my reach possibly by giving it to my parent, and listening to music for me helps to make me forget about all the distractions around by having me focus.

  1. The correlation between controlling your homework and time management is that they go together because if you don't manage your time, set aside time to do your work, you'll never get it done and be unable to "control" your homework.
  2. My ideal study setting would probably be a library where it is unlikely for me to get too distracted, being somewhere warm and comfy is great so it doesn't bother me, and being able to listen to music that can block out the outside world is great. Being somewhere that isn't too far from food is good too because if I'm hungry I won't be able to work.
  3. The biggest distraction I have when studying is either the internet, where I'll just end up searching a whole bunch of stuff from my shows, or Netflix (or other show/movie streaming applications) because whenever I'm behind on my shows I wanna multitask and watch them while I work so I can have time to watch.
  4. Three things I could do to stop from being distract from these things is to give my parent my electronic device where I can access the internet and other streaming apps, I could also have the wi-fi turned off from my phone, and I could have a system where I give myself a little break from time to time so I'm less tempted to check my phone or internet while working.
