Article 1: The Important Habit of Just Starting

This article captured my attention because so often I feel as if the hardest part of an assignment is just getting started. I enjoyed reading this article because it dove into the psychology of beginning and completing an assignment and touched on the importance of setting time slots dedicated to a certain task. I use a planner to map out every week, and although it doesn't have time slot to-dos for every hour of the day, it gives me a general outline and helps me stay motivated and on tasks throughout the week.

Article 2: The Psychology of Checklists

I personally use a checklist in my planner, so I was drawn to click on this article. I have studied the effects of dopamine, but never specifically the direct correlation of checklists and dopamine release. Therefore I was excited to see relationship between the two and how a simple action can have an impact in our productivity and sense of accomplishment. I definitely plan to continue this method!

My junior year I was the president of the OU Women's Club Volleyball team, and enjoyed traveling to ...

Wikipedia Trail: From Elephant to Action Potential

 Wikipedia Trail: From Elephant to Action Potential Elephant - Link I spent a lot of time in this class researching elephants and creating stories about them. So, it seemed only fitting to start my wikipedia trail with elephants as well. Elephant Cognition - Link In addition to just writing stories about elephants, I also touched on their social bonds and how intelligent the species is. From this article I learned that elephants are among the most altruistic animals on earth! Neuron - Link I am currently in a physiological psychology class, and have taken several other classes that involve the anatomy of the brain. So, when I saw neuron I had to click it because it goes along too well with topics I have been learning in my other classes this semester. Action Potential - Link Finally, I arrived at action potentials. Although small, action potentials are responsible for so much- including how I form thoughts and how I am able to type on my computer right now. This class has definitel...
