Day #22: Kicking Ass With The Pomodoro Method!

[justaddgigi]

First and foremost, before I start off this study log I would like to remind my dear readers that they can read the previous study logs here.  Okay, now that is out-of-the-way. I basically tried to studied yesterday, but I was way too lazy to force myself out of bed. I’m still not really back to my regular schedule and that is messing with my motivation.

However, I did review, and write-up the notes from my last study session so I’m back on track at least. I also found that the Pomodoro Method to be an awesome way to study for at least an hour without losing my mind.  I have problem that I can only study for a short time until I start suffering from Information Overload and then I have to go somewhere not in front of my computer or in a book.

Fortunately, I found that if I modified the pomodoro method to 15 minutes of study, and a ten minute break I can extend my study time quite a bit. I got I lot done in that respect. I not only reviewed my notes (which is working quite a bit with helping me retain the information (which was a huge problem), but get ready to further my knowledge in the current study session.

Thanks to the Pomodoro method I am almost done with the this very long chapter.  As for the practical stuff goes, I have been learning the exposure technique and the waterbrush effect.  I did a Sherlock poster that I liked, but I really didn’t %100 like the text and typography of it. Typography and text placement are my weak points, but I don’t want to skip ahead. Learning how to visual communicate what I want to is very important to me, so I’m just going to have wait until then.

I’m also nervous about finding a graphic design critique group   I know I’m going to need it but it’s so nervous about it, but I know that I will need to get critiqued to get better at my craft. *sigh*.
