Reflection, Looking Back

Well last week I have to admit that I could have done much better with my time management. I made plans to do my homework, clean my room, and meet with my instructors and I barely got through my homework! I could have finished my homework by Saturday if I would have followed my plans accordingly. Last week was really unproductive week and I am a bit disappointed in the outcomes. I have no excuses, it was my fault and I admit it. I didn’t follow these plans at all because I decided other things are more important than to do my homework. I looked at my time schedule and I became confident that I had enough time to finish, but it back fired. Now I realize that if I look at time as plentiful then I’m destined to fail. On the bright side I did use my reading strategies in the homework I read, like talking to the text and previewing. The information I read stayed in my head longer and I was able to answer the prompts in my English class more easily. I got a better score in my essays and I learned more of the material! This week will be more productive and much better than last week because I surely don't like the feeling of pressure of holding off to the last minute. Changing the way I view time can really help with my situation. I can change the outcomes in many ways like learning how to say no, going to a less distracting area, and keeping up with my schedule. I need to adjust on how I manage my time. I need to always write in my agenda.  I should make more reasonable time schedules and think about the alternatives if the unexpected happens. I will apply this to my next week’s schedule and see how it turns out. Next week sounds pretty productive!
