Reflection 3-
Have you ever had a project in front of you that you would just stare at for hours or even days? Over time you would say, ‘after I do this, I will start that’. For example, that ‘this’ could be the laundry, the dishes, or even when you get back from the grocery store. And on the flip side, that ‘that’ could be the Week One or Week Two assignment.
Looking back, this is where I fell short during the course. I would definitely have to say this course kept me on my toes. The assignments were very in depth and detailed, and I produced creations I never thought I would- subject matter like blogs or Action Plans. I was exposed to new information and material I had heard of before, but never dreamed of creating on my own. Assuming I could take on the weekly assignments with the same time frame and approach as other aspects in life and work, I assumed my method and plan of attack would be adequate enough to complete anything thrown my way. Because I was inexperienced to the production aspect of this new material, I did not realize I would need the extra time to refine and develop my new material.
Although in the beginning I got off to a rough and bumpy start, I worked out the kinks and got on track. Although my time management skills and self motivation was lackluster in the beginning, I drastically improved all of my poor habits and unsatisfactory routines. By the end of the course I learned the most important lesson ever that will stay with me throughout the remainder of my home and work life- stop doing ‘this’ when I need to do ‘that’, which is a invaluable concept to me as a campus leader.
