By "dual citizenship," I am referring to my status as both a Queen’s student and employee. As a student, I get the opportunity to learn about the things I am truly interested in and, as a TA, I get the opportunity to teach about the same. It’s a win-win situation.
Learning online at an accelerated rate has been tough, but I am managing to the best of my ability. I’ve noticed that I now have probably 40% of the free time I used to have, with no time to check and reply to messages—ever!
One of the things that I felt overwhelmed by recently was the never-ending list of assignments, quizzes, midterms, and discussion board posts. I always had this feeling that I was forgetting to do something.
After a breezy September easing back into things, October always hits me like a ton of bricks. It is during this time that I often find myself asking the question, “Hey, where did my Saturdays go?”

This is the question I’m asking myself after the first week of the fall term. I think my lack of organizational skills are now contributing to falling behind in school and don’t help an inner feeling that I’m always lacking something.
I’m trying three things to improve my focus by altering my working environment. One permanent change I made a few years ago was muting all of my notifications on my laptop in between the hours of 8:00 AM and 8:30 PM.
