I just wanted to tell you that you are doing a great job. Today is Tuesday Sept 7th and you just had a very good day. Work for 3 hours was busy and productive. You saw positive outcomes for your recent improvements in communication. It felt good to have good work noticed and to feel proud of a job well done.
Today you also completed a homework assignment on time. Your method wasn't perfect, but you did finish it in the end. It was a concern that you put it off until before class, but it is good that you had already begun it and had a good idea of how much more work was needed. Furthermore, you managed your work before class such that you could finish the homework on time.
In the future, remember to plan ahead for any unforeseen obstacles that may prevent your schedule from working out. Just because you can, does not mean that you should.
Also of concern is your sleep. You have been oversleeping every day since week one. Please make sure to curb this habit. Snoozing is your enemy, no matter how comfortable that bed is. Get up and stretch out and invigorate yourself because it is not going to happen to you!
Looking back on today, please recall that you were optimistic about the coming days and weeks. You were scheduling time to have fun with others. These events served as motivation during the week to get ahead and also as a reward for hard work. Please do not feel overwhelmed by commitments that are not school or work related. Remember what is important (necessary) and what is important (extra-curricular).
Remember to reach deep for energy and clarity when you have free time and little direction. You must be efficient with your time. I'll repeat: you much be efficient with your time! :-)
Remember not that you can be great, but that you are great.
Remember that clarity can be achieved even in chaos. Just focus on your goals and take things one at a time.
Mid-December Goals:
- Achieve all As this semester!
- Identify, read, summarize 25 articles related to thesis topic and concisely state research question.
- Submit OCB study to at least one conference, see what happens!
Keep up the great work and keep your chin up! You are going to stumble. Period. Just understand that it's just a stumble and not a fall, and certainly not a plunge. You are in control! Build up your muscle and soon the same pebbles that you stumbled upon will be naught but dirt under your shoes.
