The Systematic Approach
In class we discussed the importance of a systematic approach to problem solving. This approach allows us to determine the facts from fiction in which we constantly use in our everyday lives.This made me think about how I use this daily, mostly during school. In order to manage my schedule and school work I have to first understand the problem, what work I have to do, and when it is due. Then, I have to devise a plan. I have to determine the amount of time I need to devote to which subjects and when. After I carry out the plan and get my results, I look back to figure out if the approach that I used worked. This is a constant cycle that students use each day without being fully aware of it.

I do this all the time, too. I don't write things down, and I can always remember what I need to do in my head and create a schedule. I also do this with the activities I do in my free time, so that I have enough time to devote to homework and studying. I never realized how what I was doing related to psychology until we discussed it in class.
ReplyDeleteScheduling the things I have to do throughout the course of the day is crucial in order for me to be successful in not only in school, but also athletics. If I don't write down all of my assignments and schedule the time's I plan to do them around my practices, I will accomplish nothing. There have been times when I have neglected to write down an assignment on the proper due date. I went to class completely unprepared and as a result of being unprepared my grade suffered. Scheduling and managing my time has been a significant part in making it possible for me to be a successful student athlete.
ReplyDeleteMaking a Systematic Approach to a problem is something that I do for almost every situation I am confronted with. Making a plan or a schedule to follow for a project for example is very important to me. If I were to not write down anything that I had to do that day then I would forget more than half of it. Being disorganized is another reason making lists and coming up with a systematic plan is very helpful for me.
