Reflection
This week I made plans to get ahead in my school work. Since the semester started I have felt like I have been dragging myself to get things done. With school, work, and everything else I need to get done I feel like I have no time to take my time and give everything the attention it deserves. This weekend I had enough and took a stand to myself and said I am going to catch up and actually get ahead. As of today I can say I caught up and am getting ahead of myself. It kind of feels great! that I actually accomplished something. When it comes to the reading strategies I plan to continue implementing will have to be the note taking as I go alone with my reading. Note taking while I read is my most affective reading strategy. Not going to lie before spring 2015 I thought making, highlighting, and writing in a book was bad because that is what we are taught in school but that actually it helps the reader or in my case me. I have been successful in the plans and reading strategy I planned for myself this far. As of my plans for next week I think I will try to stick to the staying ahead of schedule plan I have going on. I really enjoyed the outcome of that plan I made for myself. The adjustments I will make for next with that was different from this week would be to read more. Regardless of how much I read I feel like it's not enough or at least not enough effective reading. I can say at times I read and I really wouldn't be able to recall what I have read. For sure that reading effectively has some work to be done in my behalf.
You have a very busy schedule and yet you are handling yourself very well. I'm glad and I give you pops because many of us just have school & Hw and can barely handle themselves. Very good strategies it will help you a lot and hope the outcome is very positive. Making sometime for you will help, its difficult but because you make get very burned out you can actually start falling behind in many things. don't have to take a lot of time off but at least an hour, do something you like, will be very helpful. keep it up
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you, sometimes you have to make time for yourself. Even though you want to finish everything, don't take it all in together and cause yourself stress and anxiety. Think about it and plan efficiently ahead of time like you did. I'm glad you feel great and got your work done. It does feel amazing and lots of weight off your shoulder. I like your motivation towards this goal. We all have different strategies of learning things and I'm glad you found something. :)
