SCDS would like to introduce a relaxation method to all of you, Zentangle.

It is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. You can use a background template, which contains pre-arranged lines producing segments that you can ‘tangle’ within, or you can simply start with a blank piece of paper. Tangles are just the combinations of dots, lines, simple curves, S-curves and orbs.

Zentangle was discovered by Maria Thomas, found herself doodling background patterns on a manuscript she was writing. She noticed that while she drew, she experienced feelings of liberation, well-being and complete focus, with no usual thoughts or worries entering her mind. This is how people describe meditation – and now it’s how people are describing Zentangle!

E-learning might sound easy but it is double the effort to make learning effective! How to maximize our time while we continue to expand our knowledge at home? SCDS has gathered 5 elements for you to enhance your time management skills.

Organization

• Spare enough time in advance to login, connect and solve potential technical problems, small steps benefit your mental readiness for E-learning
• Print out or prepare necessary notes for E-learning
• Prepare another tools for notes taking during lessons
• Ensure the devices have enough battery power to complete the lessons and avoid disconnection

Prioritization

• Maintain a normal living routine as if it is school semester
• Ensure you have enough sleep the night before, ideally at least 7 hours each night
• Prioritize what needs to be done first, rate each item according to their urgency and importance, fit category 1 & 2 into the weekly timetable, see below:

Planning

• Create a TO DO LIST, place it somewhere you can see and cross out the item once it is completed, it is very satisfying
• Mark down E-learning schedules and assessment deadlines on calendar to remind yourself

Goal Setting

• It is important to set clear and realistic goals for yourself during the learning process, SMART is an useful framework on how to set goals, see below:

Communication

• Keep contacts with your classmates and lecturers during online learning period
• Mark down any questions you have during E-learning, have a discussion with your classmates or seek help from your lecturers
• Inform your family about the E-learning schedules to avoid interruption or disturbance
