 Time Management

link


 Managing time is something that everyone has to do and some struggle with. Everyone has probably struggled with it at some stage of education/work life. This is currently me ☺️ (sarcastic smiley). I have been quite unwell the first week of college and missed classes. Unfortunately I was pretty much bed bound so my work ability was limited. I am however catching up. I would consider myself as punctual and I can organise tasks well, but my time management issues come when I'm extremely passionate about one project all my ideas and time and effort goes into that, then all of a sudden I remember I have other modules!! ... no I'm being slightly dramatic, but this has happened once or twice. The modules in this course are courses in themselves tho! I have friends in other colleges doing just Multimedia and just Film. Our course is heavy but it will be so worth it by the end.

Also I feel I am jumping into a whole new college life as we were all online last year. I'm not quite used to the timetable just yet, not counting commuting time and a part time job also! I have decided to prioritise my college and work for the next few months as I will be needing to save to move away next summer, so there will be few nights out for me😔. (Also the college shuttle bus is VERY unreliable. Still getting used to that also). 

In terms of workload time management I think procrastination and saying 'I'm busy' as a cop out and not actually doing the work (The Myth of 'too busy'), can be easy when our mind is elsewhere. I think before you fall into the "ill do it after dinner" or "actually I need to cleanly room first" you should catch yourself procrastinating and JUST START!!

Hello!  My name is Philippa, I'm pretty sure my name is Greek and it means 'lover of horses'... interesting choice from my parents since I have no connection to Greece and I don't particularly "love" horses.  This summer I spent my 20th birthday in Berlin. I went to Berlin for a month and I had the best time of my life. For the weekend of my birthday all of my best friends visited for a few days. It was definitely a life changing trip and I'm already looking at apartments for next summer!!  Its such a beautiful and inspiring city full of art, culture and you can be whoever you want.  When I chose this course, I had no idea what I wanted to do for a career. I was pretty much an open book when joining in first year. Since completing two semesters with a varied range of modules last year, I have found some direction and some aspects of the course which I really love. Graphic design and film are my favourites. Since ...

Game Brainstorm

  GAME BRAINSTORM link My first game idea is inspired by the game of life. Personally I wouldn't be interested in playing shooting games, or building games(e.g. Minecraft). So I thought because of this I shouldn't really consider trying to make one if these types of games. Something more suited to me would be a happy game ☺️. I thought of the game of life because I really enjoy the board game version. I particularly enjoy the fact that every time you play you end up with a different story/life. I also enjoy the fact that you can't choose the story like in The Sims for example. The game of life involves spinning the wheel and moving to that square, whatever square you land on is the life milestone you get. You do however have a few options at the start.  L ike you can choose to go to college, or work. These decisions will also have an effect on your salary/income in the game and will determine your financial state at the end of the g...

Game Decisions

  link Flow Theory, Game Decisions  Game flow, or good game flow rather is when a player becomes so immersed in a game they almost loose track of time and concept of life around them. Ok ... bit dramatic lol. But we've all been there when a game gets so good, you're winning challenges or you're about to beat your high score and it feels like it's just you and your screen. That's some good game flow.  Flow is a fundamental skill to create an engaging experience.  Being in flow state can be seen as being at peak engagement with an activity, the idea being that an  engaged player will want to consume more of the game, apposed to a disinterested player who may abandon it.  The challenge in the game needs to be slightly harder than the players amount of skill to be able to have them in a flow state, or a hyper focused state. These ideas are illustrated in the graph above.  source- Decision making and fl...
