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!

Reading Notes: English Fairy Tales, Part A

The Old Woman and Her Pig When I read this story, it seemed as if this was written to be more of a riddle than a story. The way the story flowed and the sentences were structured was a bit unusual compared to most stories. However, I really enjoyed reading it because it seemed like something I might have heard in my childhood. The story began with introducing an old woman.

On her way back from the market with her piglet, the piglet was hesitant and would not go over a stile on the ground. So, in order to fix the problem she goes and finds a dog and asks the dog to bite at the pig so the pig would go over the stile. Af...

Topic Brainstorm

[Elephant. Image Information. ] Topic 1: Elephant Fables Elephants are remarkable creatures, and are among my favorite animals. I currently do not know of any folklore stories about elephants, so I am interested in reading some. I would like to learn how elephants are portrayed in the storytelling world. Are they gentle giants? Are they beasts? A combination? I would love to read different stories to see all the ways the elephant is represented. Topic 2: Dog Fables In my experience, dogs are such sweet and kind animals. I am aware there is an abundance of dog fables, however I do not know much about them. I am interested in seeing how the representation of dogs in stories has evolved over the years. Maybe in the beginning they were seen more as beast, and then slowly throughout history their image changed to become more of 'man's best friend'. Topic 3: Feral Children Besides the legendary Tarzan, I am not aware of any other stories of children raised by animals. This...
