In College Time Management and Grades Are Related

Time management is not an exercise in futility and can have significant impact on grades. Those who wait to try and finish their work often find themselves short on time and full of distractions. Lack of time management will impact grades as it will impact work habits in the future. Students who start early and maintain focus are more likely to be successful in college and life.

To most people, the last thing they enjoy doing is homework. Writing papers and reading books must compete with watching television and playing games. As each day passes the motivation to get the work done decreases and it seems more like a chore. Then one day its due!

Trying to ensure that there is an opportunity to pass the class and pick up as many points as possible the student rushes to get the work done. They cut corners and go for the basics. When the paper is finished and submitted thoughts are not really well developed, citations are sparse, and the conclusions are weak.

The same process is likely to be revised in the workplace when projects are due on certain dates. Managers are unlikely to accept chronic excuses and will soon move to terminate employment. That is part of the habit as well. One time the manager will understand, twice they will question, and the third time they depict the employee as hopelessly lazy.

Getting into the habit of managing time wisely by starting work early and completing a certain amount of work each day will go a long way to finishing products on time. If a paper needs research then it is wise to start outlining a paper and looking in the library right away. If consistent effort and schedule are maintained it is possible to leave a few days for additional review and improvement creating an excellent paper.

The Meaning of A Boundless Moment by Robert Frost

A Boundless Moment by Robert Frost He halted in the wind, and — what was that Far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost? He stood there bringing March against his thought, And yet too ready to believe the most. "Oh, that's the Paradise-in-bloom," I said; And truly it was fair enough for flowers had we but in us to assume in march Such white luxuriance of May for ours. We stood a moment so in a strange world, Myself as one his own pretense deceives; And then I said the truth (and we moved on). A young beech clinging to its last year's leaves. The poem is one of seasons changing and the cycle of life. Each May the bloom comes out and brings life to the death of winter. The poem is about a single moment when the characters see that life has changed. The layers of meaning can be deep but on the surface it appears Robert Frost is discussing nature and its cyclical momentum.   Everything in nature moves through patterns. The poem indicates that

Art Review: The Kiss by Gustav Klimt

The Kiss is Gustav Klimt’s most famous and well known painting. Produced in 1908 in Vienna, Austria and incorporated oil and gold life on the canvas ( 1 ). This was unique for his time and represents both tile works with Asiatic influence. The painting and the romance it brings forward is still wonderment to onlookers. The picture depicts a passionate relationship between a man and woman in a sort of perfect place.  The couple is embracing, bodies entwined, wearing robes of wealth and decadence. It provides linear constructs of the Art Nouveau style and the movement of arts with crafts ( 2 ). The male is square and masculine while the woman painted is in curves to represent femininity. The couple is a pair with the woman and man equal in stature. They are in a field of flowers and appear to rise above it.  To many this painting represents the concept that love has no bounds. Social position or worldly wealth cannot hide what goes on under the fancy clothes and standard m
