The first two meetings of INTRICT was a hell lot of fun, not only because our professor's, Mr. Oliver Malabanan, being humorous and lively and our class', S13, being crazy and "united" (or should I say crazily united?), but because I've discovered certain features of Google that can be very helpful to my daily whereabouts and activities.
And honestly, I didn't actually know that Google had these many applications! Calendar sharing, document sharing, bookmarking... You got it there! I'm grateful for having known these applications that Sir Oli had shared with us. I find the document sharing really helpful, since, given a group paperwork or research in INTRICT, it can be done by me and my groupmates simultaneously (on the web page itself), which will make things faster. How convenient and awesome is that? We get to type our assigned sections in the paperwork all at the same time! Also, I can get to share schedule of activities with other people through the internet calendar, and if fixed to the SMS setup, Google will even text you a reminder of a particular event (for example, Google will send you a text reminder of INTRICT class 10 minutes before INTRICT class begins)! Awesome isn't it?
Oh yeah, since I've about research and paperwork, do not limit yourselves with WIKIPEDIA. I repeat, do not limit yourselves searching in Wikipedia. There are other sites in the web wherein you can research. One is Answers.com; it's a search engine like Google and Yahoo!, but all the "searches" are narrowed down to the websites that are really closely related (if not exactly related) to the topic you're searching about. It gives a variety of information, definitions, etc. about the topic that you are researching on. It's pretty convenient, really. I suggest you guys also try it. I've been using that search engine for about 2 years now.
Productivity has been in MY dictionary for such a long time already. I admit that at times I also do get lazy (face it people, it's a reality), but when work enters in my system, I really do mean work. Productivity requires your D.E.W.: discipline, effort, and willpower. It starts with discipline since no one can start working productively if he or she does not set him/herself up for all his or her tasks, and discipline means being ready and setting yourself up for work. Then effort comes in; productivity in one's work is not possible if effort is not present. Will one's work output be of great quality if less effort was given by that particular individual? I don't really think so. And lastly, the willpower; to continue working to come up with a great output requires this factor. No one can ever get his or her work done if he or she has no willpower. This factor is what drives an individual to do and produce quality output from his or her work. Well, I can share this D.E.W. thing with my parents by showing them how my work attitude is, this would probably inspire or motivate them to work harder (haha!). Well, it's how life goes; even the older ones get to learn from the younger ones, right? So basically, that's it.
Oh yeah, productivity in relation to technology means coming up with an output of great value under a shorter period of time. For example, when writing reports that are usually done in a time span of weeks, can be minimize to getting done in just a time span of a few hours or even just minutes. Yes, that's how one can be convenient in doing his/her work with the use of technology.

I guess it would be all for now. 'Til the next blog. God bless. :)
