Time Stratagies

 The first of the 2 articles I chose to read was "How to beat procrastination" by Caroline Webb.

https://hbr.org/2016/07/how-to-beat-procrastination

I chose this article to read first because I personally think I'm the king at procrastination. Its probably my biggest downfall when it comes to completeitng tasks. I know I'm well capable for the work I just find any excuse not to do it. All of the tips and advice she gave in the article were very true but the was one that I think will probably benefit me the most and it was this.

"visualise how great it will be to get it done" This advice designated with me the most because whenever I put something off I make it 10 times more stressful for myself by not doing it. And the feeling of accomplisment when you Finnish something on time or even ahead of schedule is a nice feeling. 

The second article I chose to read was "time management tips just for creatives." by Amanda

I enjoyed this article as-well my favourite piece of advice from it was to manage your energy swell as your time and to rank tasks in order of how much energy you will need to put into each of them. its important to do this so you don't end up putting a lot of energy into a task that doesn't require it and then have no energy left for the bigger tasks.  Another takeaway I got from this was to make a list of tasks at the end of the day so you know what you have to do the next day.

 Hello my name is Daniel Jupe. I am 20 years old and in 2nd year of the Creative digital media course in TU Dublin. My Favourite part of last year was the studio photography module. I enjoyed this module the most because I learnt a lot about lighting and photography and it was the most enjoyable for me. To be entirely honest my goal for this module is just to pass. I haven't really got much interest in video games I will remain open minded going into this module but I can't imagine ill enjoy it that much so just a B or a C would do me. In My spare time when I'm not doing college work or working my job I like to go to the gym, listen to music /podcasts, go skating and surfing for the weekend whenever I get it off. I think my short term goal is to get through to 3rd year without any more repeats. in the longer run Id like to work with some company like red bull or some kind of production company to do photography and videography covering action sports, concerts and festivals.

 This week we continued the making of my game further. Continuing on from last week I was having an issue with my player whenever I tried to add a rigid body component it would fall through the terrain I fixed this by adding in a mesh collider. This week I spent my time getting the controls down on my game now whenever the game starts the board takes off and can now be navigated using the left and right arrow keys. I learnt how to do this from following previous unity tutorials.  with the player now able to navigate the course I added an if statement to the player controller script that enables the player to jump so now when the home button is pressed the player can jump in the air. I had to adjust the mass of the player in the rigid body because whenever I would jump the player would be suspended in the air for too long this would have caused problems later in the game because some obstacles in the game are meant to be cleared others are not.  So far I think I'm on track for my ga
