The month of October nearly ended and we just had a long weekend to take a break from our school. I know that going to school is stressful because of the workload that you will encounter.

In fact, even though we are on a 1-week break, our professor still gave a lot of activities and assignments. I had no choice but to comply with the requirements, so I made a 3-day plan on how I could accomplish each task before the short break ended.

I always use sticky notes in writing important notes including my to-do list and ideas that I need to make an action. Sometimes, I also use mobile apps such as Google Keep Notes as my semi-second brain. I am still at the stage of figuring out which tool I should use as my [second brain](https://fortelabs.com/blog/basboverview/).

Furthermore, using sticky notes gives me a realistic feel and more satisfaction when I am putting a checkmark on my tasks marking that it is already done. 

It is just a bit of a hassle when doing especially if you do not have your own study area (for example I am not in our home). It is one of the conflicts I am facing because I can’t do this in our dorm.

Some of my tasks are already done, but I cannot completely finish the project because I have zero knowledge about it. I need a study buddy while doing these kinds of things so I can accomplish them on time. 

It is always hard to work with someone online, I always prefer a face-to-face setup because you can interact with each other on time.
So far, I still have more things to accomplish. But little by little, I am doing them slowly with an effort.
## ELECTION DAY
Yesterday was the local election in the Philippines where everyone needs to cast their votes for the next barangay officials in different localities. I was a first-time voter, and I did not know that it is satisfying to know that you voted for a candidate that you think will do his duty responsibly. 

Although some part of myself knows that almost all of the politicians are the same, I know that I did not vote just for clout or popularity.

Here is the mark on my finger that indicates that I already voted. At first, I was nervous because I didn’t really know what will be the setup on each precinct. But thankfully, I voted smoothly.

Overall, I had a good experience during the election day. I am also hoping that the candidates who won will do their duty responsibly. Furthermore, creating a time-management system is important if you are a student. You can always have the time if you know how to manage it correctly.
