What have I done? Why did I do this? Did I put too much work on myself?
These were the questions racing through my mind this week. You see, I finished the results last week and decided I would work on the discussion this week. I forgot this is a short week, so I didn't have a lot of time to work on the discussion. At the beginning of the week, which was Tuesday because Monday was the day we observed Veteran's Day, Ms. Crudale gave us a task sheet to help us plan our week and next week, which will also be a short week due to Thanksgiving holidays. I thought that I would have ample time to complete everything I needed to, so I wrote that I would finish my initial discussion draft, redo my Gantt Chart, and update and revise my website. I didn't realize how much work goes into writing a discussion. On Wednesday and Thursday, we had a half-day for conferences, so between these two days, I had Capstone 2 for about 2 hours. On Friday, we had a 2 hour delay because of the snow and rain that fell the night before. We had Capstone for 35 minutes, but that time went into work for National Honor Society, which would be right after the class ended (we had Capstone last). In addition, I've been feeling under-the-weather the whole week. I've had a sore throat and have just been exhausted all week. I have had no energy to do mundane tasks, let alone my school work. Unfortunately to say, I've been slacking off all week. I wrote about one paragraph of my discussion. but other than that, I've just been staring at a blank screen waiting for the words to come to my brain and for my hands to subsequently type them. With that being said, I think next week I need to work on being more productive. During those moments of writer's block, I could be doing other work so later on it is easier for me and I have less work. I need to work on my time management as well. Granted, I had a calculus exam which I was studying for all week, but I should have enough time in the day to get most of what I need to get done done. Hopefully, next week I can put these skills to work and be extremely productive. If I can finish by Wednesday, I can give myself a semi-break over Thanksgiving weekend. Fingers crossed! P.S.- The image below is a Tamil meme that is me looking at my results :D ! P.P.S. - It just means "Friend, results have come, I've looked and I've passed! You..." Friend replies, "Oh, you use "All Clear" shampoo huh? I use Head and Shoulders bro! Tags: Time Management, Results, Reflection, Productivity, Planning, Discussion
