  • Something I have learned is that construct 3 basically just makes every part of making a game simpler, and the fact that you can also use javascript is crazy. At the starting of the zoom on Monday, I really didn’t want to choose to construct 3 because it would confuse me, but now I know what it is. It’s literally sick. You can make games for every platform, Which is what really got me intrigued

  • I Usually do my school work from morning to at 4 at least and if I have to finish something I go as long as I finish it. When I am done with my school work I treat myself to some nice funny youtube videos or just youtube videos in general. I don’t usually go outside which is bad I know but I did it because I thought it was not safe now I am going to start going outside about every day just to relax. I just went for a walk and dang it feels refreshing.

  • I did make a game and lost the Link so I am not going to get another another one

WHAT I LEARNED and PROBLEMS I SOLVED

  • One of the cool things I learned is that construct 3 is a really bigger friendly programming engine. Though it does have some bad things according to other students who use it and understand engines and other things better than me I don’t really agree.

Teens are overwhelmed, partly because they don’t yet have the skills to manage the unprecedented amount of stuff that enters their brains each day.  – from LifeHacker.com

“Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them.”

“You can do anything, but not everything.”

― David Allen, (GTD) Getting Things Done for Teens: Take Control of Your Life in a Distracting World

  • When things come your way use the GTD process
    1. capturing it
    2. processing it
    3. organizing were the things
    4. and review the things
    5. after reviewing the things then you can start doing them
  • It can seem boring or a waste of time but the process is actually going to help you you not waste time instead of it wasting your time
  • GTD is not something for specific ages or situations
  • GTD is for every age (well except kids who can write and adults who never went to school)

  • To be honest I just blocked it out of my mind
  • why id did I do that well it just confuses my brain
  • I’d rather have a plan than try to make a new confusing lane
  • I already have a plane for GTD or whatever
  • I did not go outside because:
  • 1: I am sick
  • 2. It’s cold
  • 3. Mom says no one to go outside till its “safe” (which i don’t get)

WHAT I LEARNED and PROBLEMS I SOLVED

  • This week I did not learn a lot of things educational wise or at least the ones I would like to share but I did learn a thing about youtube in my free time.
