Hello Nerds!
Being a nerd means that
you pretty much never have free time, although it’s never the same. One day you
may have ample amounts of time, and others you may be scrambling for ten
minutes to work on well… work. I am no exception to this, and I have learned
many tricks to time management as a nerd.
Years ago, when I became
(albeit subconsciously) a nerd, I didn’t know much about how I could organize
my time to do both things that I wanted to do, and do the things that were
expected from me. Organizing can be challenging, and certainly it is a juggling
act, trying to find time to watch your favorite show on Hulu, or Netflix, or
your favorite YouTube game walkthrough player, playing that new video game that
just came out, reading that last book of a trilogy so that you can talk about
it with your friends the next day, is difficult when you have a good three
hours of work ahead of you, and I face this problem every day.
My trick, is this: When
you have work to do, you should prioritize, meaning that you save what’s due
later for last, and get the immediate work done up front, then move on from
there. Some people like music playing while they do their work, some like the
television going, and some like it quiet. All of these are perfectly fine, and I’d
highly recommend that you find what works best for you.
When you find what
works best for you, you may find yourself in a grove that will help you get through
your work faster, this is when you know that it truly works for you. When you
have hours of work to do, this strategy will help get it done faster, make the
time seem to go faster, and even improve the quality in some cases.
I personally like to
put Netflix on in the background when I do my paperwork when I get home, some
nights I prefer YouTube. The plan you have for yourself is what you want it to
be, and is subject to change at your leisure.
Organizing your time
can be difficult, and it’s certainly difficult to find time to do what you love
to do: Being a nerd. But hopefully this post helped you think of some ideas on
how you can improve your work schedule to leave more time for whatever it is
that you do.
