I think the main behaviors that I have used to keep up with this course are diligence and consistency. I plan to do the assignment preparations, whether that is reading a book or conducting interviews, all by Thursday night. On Thursday night, I like to have a good idea of what I would say in my post. Then, on Friday, I will use the morning to write my post. Then I will take all of Sunday, whether in the morning, afternoon, or at night, and I will do the responses and watch the lectures for the cupcake. I try to have the cupcake and responses done before Monday morning so that I don’t have to dedicate my morning to it.
I think the most memorable moment that I had to pull through when I felt like giving up was the Friday before I had to take the GRE. I had three assignments due, and I wanted to just neglect all of them However, I decided that my grades would actually be the deciding factor for graduate school, regardless of a test score, and I actually got two done. I think I have developed a tenacious attitude over the past two months. I think it is because I actually see myself being able to run the business I am working on, or something like it. My 3 tips would be to have a set schedule and stick to it, to reflect on the areas where you have been tenacious and reward yourself for the successes, and think of ways you can work more effectively daily.
Hi Nala,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post and really liked that you used the word consistent, as being an important way to approach this class. This is very true, as I talked about staying ahead, but I do feel like staying consistent is the second necessary part to staying on top of your work. I also agree that having time to think about the reflection posts is important, so that you can deliver a better product. I also like how you kept one of your tips very positive in rewarding yourself for your successes, because sometimes we do not do this enough. Nevertheless, I found all of your tips to be extremely relevant to being successful in this class.
