Final Reflection of the Semester

Well.

I learned a lot. One thing that isn’t readily apparent from the blog is that I left organizing everything within it until the last minute. Fortunately I had a lot of process pictures and had saved most of my work.

Motivations for procrastination:

  • anxiety
  • perfectionism
  • too much to do
  • stress
  • poor time management
  • illness

Motivations for shooting beyond the mark:

  • It’s not grades
  • a desire to be remarkable resulting from the fear of being insignificant
  • concern that if I am not striving to do my best work all the time that I am just hoop jumping.

Action plan

  • continue documenting everything in this blog on a weekly basis
  • Read The Smart but Scattered Guide to Success: How to Use Your Brain’s Executive Skills to Keep Up, Stay Calm, and Get Organized at Work and at Home by Peg Dawson
  • Read The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You’re Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are by Brene Brown
