My current intellectual home is my laptop. It wouldn’t necessarily be considered a home or person but instead a method for me. Whenever I have my laptop at my disposal, I’m able to completely breeze through any and all work I am given. I find noise or silence really affect my work ethic to any extent, whether it is extremely loud or quiet neither bother me. I feel as if with my laptop at my hand there are no other distractions really since my laptop has no games downloaded and is purely for getting work done. I have already embedded in my head that if I need to get an assignment done, I should always do it through my laptop. On other devices such as my computer and phone I have so many things that can distract me for example, Netflix Crunchyroll and video games installed in, so I am constantly tempted. Here on my laptop, I don’t have the passwords saved to any of those streaming services nor do I have any video games installed so regardless of if I wanted to, I couldn’t. The only things on my laptop would be my downloaded documents of previous works, syllabus and outlines for lab reports. Another part of my method is not just my laptop but the time of day. Once the sun is down and most people are fast asleep, I feel a dire need to finish my work faster. Not sure what it is about the time of day, but I feel more at peace while it is darker outside. If there is a deadline I have to beat within an hour all the more better as I am motivated to rush even faster to finish the work. However, don’t get it twisted just because I am rushing to finish my work on time, I am still giving out the outmost quality of work, I don’t believe in half-assing any work. (other topic) My laptop has a membrane keyboard which to most people doesn’t feel as good but to me on the other hand I completely enjoy how smooth it feels to type every single letter to my paragraphs.
Angelo,
Thanks for this strong draft/outline. I like the focus on process. Make sure to add ideas from the readings as you proceed.
