Staring at a large assignment with multiple steps and processes? Unsure where to begin? Worried it will take forever to complete?
Try this simple BARE process before giving up:
- What is the task?
- When is it due?
- When will you start?
B= break up the task
- [ ] Review the task and break it into smaller steps: what do you need to do in each step?
A= allocate time
- [ ] Allocate an amount of time to each step
R= reward yourself for each step you complete
- [ ] Decide on a reward for each step you complete
E= environmental control
- [ ] Identify distractions and how you will minimise them
Do a separate BARE table for each task you have and you’ll keep on top them all.
