I'm on island time!

-
This week is closing to an end and I'm thinking how can I get ahead of all the responsibilities I have to complete for my summer classes?!?

When will I research this, write this, or submit this?... hello time management!

At work, I had this feeling of "there's never enough time" especially when Thursday rolled around. But that comes naturally when dealing with multiple project and task deadlines, right?

To be honest, all I could think about throughout the week was spending time with my family to celebrate birthdays and the 4th of July. I was looking forward to waking up each morning with a beach view, a cup of coffee in hand, and the struggle of the day is what bathing suit I'd wear.

Well, TODAY IS THE DAY! We made it to the island! For the next week I will relinquish all work responsibility and focus on being a student and soaking up the sun. I envision my next week being similar to working at home? Have any of you worked from home as an instructional designer? Am I missing out big time? Should I join this bandwagon?



But just's a headsup, if I mention a lot of beach inspirations or advertising/marketing content (my sister and brother-in-law both work in those industries) then just know that I'm "stuck" on an island for the next week with these fools :)

I'd like to leave you with two pieces of wisdom- 1) Make time for yourself and 2) Dance like no one is looking, similar to a lady we met at dinner tonight. She goes by "Sissy" and shes a trip!

    I felt the same way in the beginning! Now that I've started doing the work I feel more excited than stressed. Take the prompts one step at a time, bang out the work throughout the week. You got this! And yes, turn the school/work brain off for a bit. Recharge the batteries under a nice warm sun. Have fun and happy 4th :)

Have you ever just been so overwhelmed with stuff? Like it's literally everywhere and won't stop piling up? That's how I initially felt when I entered my first Twitter chat today. I was just there to observe and see how it works but my goodness!! I felt like I needed to have my phone updating the feed, then have two or three desktop windows open to click on other hashtags, look at profiles, post, and another window to find GIFS because apparently that's a thing on Twitter chats... who knew? But with all things in life, I just went with the flow. I stopped worrying about EVERY post and started reading the repetitive tweeters, I'd stop at random spots to slowly scroll when the feed became too much, and of course anything that the host posted I took notice of.  While this may not be the best tactic as a chat host, because you really should be paying attention to more than a few people, it worked for me as an observer with zero experience. Eventually, I

The time has come the walrus said... to dive into the world of Web 2.0, collaboration, social media, and social networking. From now until August, my sources of inspiration will focus on what I'm learning in my Instructional Systems and Learning Technology class at Florida State University- EME6414: Web 2.0-based Learning and Performance. I've been eager to start this class and am looking forward to posting about what I'm learning, reflecting on how it'll affect my design and development processes, and what I can do with my new found wisdom to influence how people learn, work, and use tools that foster inquiry and collaboration. Let the adventure begin and Go Noles!
