On Engineering in Crisis: Maximize Productivity by Mixing It Up

Over the next few weeks, we invite you to join us for a short-form blog series on how SWE Members are navigating the world amidst what to do with a computer science degree. In this second blog, we are pleased to feature Saloni Desai from Arizona State University.

Currently, what works best for me is having a strict schedule on one day and going easy on myself on the next day, again a strict schedule on the third day and so on and so forth. For me, the satisfaction of getting a lot of work done in a day is the best feeling – so on the days that I’m following a schedule, I try to maximize productivity. But on alternate days, I try to reduce my screen time by staying away from my laptop, I try to cook more meals and healthier meals and I also catch up with the latest news and do some reading.

I would say ‘mix-it-up.’ For example, if you have three subjects to study, study one for the first 30 minutes, take a 10 minute break and then study the second subject for 30 minutes, and take another break and so on. I’m currently juggling academic study and online courses from Coursera and Linkedin Learning and I follow this ‘mix-it-up’ routine for the same.
