Time Strategies

 Time Strategies


My thoughts on time management strategies for in class and outside are that with multimedia development labs I can pursue what has to be done for the weekend in this class and can progress over the weekend for next weeks tasks this then gives me more time over the weekdays to pursue the labs and assignments throughout the week and if I get stuck I've the weekend to try figure it out. after reading the articles '3 Steps to Recapture time by @JoynicoleM' are that there millions of people who work everyday and who manage to get into work on time and manage their time that suits their day and shows that their time management is really well done and she talks of three rules which can help recapture time and being able to achieve more in the time frame. The first rule is "Rule 1-Refuse to yield your 1st 15 minutes." In this rule she is saying that you should relax and do whatever makes you comfortable as she mentions some examples like 'Pray' or 'Meditate'. Then you must envision the tasks that need completion and finally break the tasks down to make it easier on yourself.

The second rule is "Rule 2- Recognise the Pruning Season" here she is talking anon the effects of the season that'll effect your work and to get execute your tasks like an example she says is to cut off anything that isn't working like a certain project rather then waste more resources to it.

The third rule is "Rule 3-Practice the Art of No". Here she is saying that sometimes it is good to say no and that at times you must say no as you may not have the time or resources and to respectfully say no.

The second article that I read was 'The Important Habit of Just Starting' by Jory Mackay. This was about how people have so much to do and that they can't spare anytime for their personal projects. While reading the blog a piece of information really stuck out to me as it said "When Bonnie Ware, a nurse who cared patients in their final weeks,  published the most common regrets she heard, not chasing dreams was number one". This really told me at how you live your life and can put something off for so long that it never gets done and by the time that its too late you regret not chasing and pursuing it.

I think after reading these articles and looking back at last semester that with my modules the most difficult part id say is getting used the new modules and learning the new Web Dev tools and so on. Some things that I learned from the articles are that I can say no respectfully and not to overwhelm myself with work and to take my time and not too waste time and I hope to use these going into this semester.

Introduction to a future Graphic Designer

 Introduction Post  My name is Samuel Carroll and I am twenty years old I am currently studying in TUD Blanchardstown and am in year two of Creative Digital Media. I enjoyed all my modules from year one but the one that I liked the most would have to be Design Process and Practice as I really enjoyed using Adobe Illustrator and enjoyed completing the different tasks that we were given each week and getting to learn more about Illustrator as the weeks went on. My favourite part of the module would have been the Film Poster assignment which we had to use the film we had chosen based off our website from Web Development in semester one. My website was based off Wes Anderson the film director so I chose his film 'The Grand Budapest Hotel'. While designing our film poster we did a discover, define, develop and deliver phase for the poster putting our ideas together and narrowing it down to our final piece. This overall took about five to...

 Beta This week on my project I have most of my visuals added and have my player movement fully working as well as my boundaries working well and are able to keep the player in the boundaries of the game as well and also while the boundaries took a while to complete there was satisfaction on completing them and getting them fully working. Ive also managed to complete my enemies script and have the player being chased by the enemies of the game as well which also I struggled with greatly and ran into a lot of problems such as the player not following the main player and tried videos on unity but non seemed to work and also referred back to the Unity Tutorial 4, I also looked at scripts online but just all together didn't work and just none seemed to work. I have the main bases of the game working such as the main camera following the player as well as the player being able to move. I also have the player being kept in the boundaries of the game which works well and I have my graphic...

 Alpha While working on the alpha of my website I have ran into some problems such as my player falling through the floor but managed to fix this by un clicking the Is Kinematic button the ground's Rigidbody. This helped greatly and I managed to solve the problem then, I ran into some other C# script problems but managed to get around them and get them all working together and fine which worked out greatly for my game and is working well at the minute. My Own Unity Game While trying to see the targets I'm a bit behind work wise and struggling a bit to get to meet the deadlines with the work I'm getting around to it and will need to catch up a bit and work some more but I'm in a good place at the minute and is working well.
