Social Media


Another thing I've noticed while tracking my time is how much of my time is spent looking at Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest. I've known social media eats up my time, but when you count all of the minutes here and there, they definitely add up! Going back to my post about using seconds ... I could get a lot more done if I used those occasional social media seconds and minutes for other more meaningful things.

Newsroom Rhythms

I spend over 15 hours every week in the student newsroom. I produce the live newscasts on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There are definitely strong rhythms in the newsroom. When breaking news comes in and we're pushing to get everything ready in time, the rhythm of the newsroom is buzzing. There's energy in the air and the rhythm is fast, steady, and pulsing. There are accents when something needs to be fixed, or a problem comes up. In the booth, I try to maintain a calmer, yet still strong, steady rhythm as I communicate with newsroom staff.

I think of jazz music as a comparison. I can see the rest of the day ahead of me and I feel like I have time to get things done...so I don't.
