5 Questions: Tab Overload, Time Blocking, and Financial Literacy (Ep. 19)

We’re back again with another five questions episode.

If you’d like to have your question answered on the podcast, we take them from email, the YouTube comments for the video version of our episodes, Twitter (Thomas | Martin), or Instagram (Thomas | Martin).

Here are the questions for this week:

  • When I close my computer, I put all the tabs in a folder and now I have almost 10,000 links to put in order. How can I organize all of this information?
  • I try to stay organized by blocking out the time each task in my day will take, but I’m always struggling to estimate the times accurately. How can I get better at planning out the times so I don’t have to keep adjusting the plans or give up entirely?
  • Where can students learn about finances? Where did you learn?
  • I have trouble sticking to a morning routine long enough to do anything with it. Do you still stick to a morning routine? How long have you had it?
  • How can I stop from being too hard on myself for not doing more or better?
