Newspapers & MSB

The main lessons I learned while doing the Industrializaton Newspapers
(IN) that I can carry forward into the MSB project is to keep everything that I do organized, be
consisitent with my work, and pace myself.
During the IN project a lot of my drafts, notes, and critiques were all over thge place and dometimes I couldn't even find the things that I needed, which eventually led me to wasting a lot of my time just loooking for things. I know that if I am a lot more organized during the MSB project then less time willl be wasted and my transitions between working on different things for the project will be a lot smoother.
Being consistent with work is very good thing because it makes it so that for the most part you're always on task and you're constantly working up to ypur final product. For the IN project i found myself getting off track a lot or becoming distracted by a varirty of different non-important things. As a result I began getting behind in my work and everything started to become really stressful. To solve this problem so that it wont happen in the MSB project I am going to make sure that I'm constantly giving myself work for my project. Hopefully by doing this, I will be so focused on the work that I have to do that I won't even be able to give myself a chance to get off task.
When there are a lot of things that I have to do, sometimes I tend to either focus really hard on one of the tasks and wait until the last minute for the other ones, become stressed, or get irritated. The reason why these sorts of things happen is because I get so focused on trying to complete everythingh and get a good grade, that I barely give myself time to relax or get my thoughts together. This definetely cannot happen in the MSB prject, so I'm going to start pacing myself. By pacing myself I give myself a chance to complete the things that I need to get done,
while also being able to give my brain time to breath and take breaks.
