Every day brings new challenges; every challenge gives an opportunity to grow; as Robert Tew said, “Challenge yourself every day to do better and be better. Remember, growth starts with a decision to move beyond your present circumstances.”

With studies, I face time-consuming and focus as a challenge. It is hard to choose what to do first when it´s many tasks and deadlines. Also, when listening to lectures, I find it difficult to firstly internalize the information immediately and at the same time write notes and listen. At a work, I have better focus and productivity. Keeping myself energized, keeping pauses and good ergonomy are challenges then... :DD

I have used pomodoro-technique to productive studying and working, an alarm to remind me of the pauses. I googled also some different study techniques.

@sini_katariina there are many! I have to get back to this with more time :)

@sini_katariina Now that I think of this more closely i think my biggest challenge is stying focused and choosing what to focus on.

One of the biggest challenges for me lately has been that the different ideas and "this should have been done" -tasks keep gushing out of my head :D I have always used Apple's own "Reminders" to-do list, but now I had to change it to "Things 3" which allows me to categorize and do subtasks better. I recommend getting familiar with that if you have similar challenges :)

@vylimaki I used to use the Eisenhower matrix when I dealt with similar issues in my pervious job. I used post-its, but i bet there's an app for this nowdays

@tytti_sandstrom cool, great tip. Actually, there is an app for that: @appfluence 's Priority Matrix.
