No surprises here I am a first class procrastinator. Blog posting has come a little late due to procrastination (fed by lack of familiarity with blogs, social media etc). Also doing 2 subjects this semester whilst working has not been easy. The 2 subjects have been very different ETL505 a practical subject with little opportunity for practical application with completely new concepts to wrap my head around. With ETL504 I feel I have been swamped with readings and weekly tasks where I have needed to pick my battles and do as much as I could manage without throwing the towel in.
Time management comes easy to some. My partner for example has goals, schedules, spreadsheets, calenders and sticks to carefully laid-out plans. Me on the other hand, can put all the work into planning but I am terrible at the follow through. It’s a bit like my lack of will power when it comes to chocolate.
Thankfully I am not in a work environment such as the ones we have been presented in the Case studies. If that was my reality then the job would not be for me. Managing my time and commitments in my primary school are a lot more manageable.
But as for this degree maybe I need a time management coach (that’s a thing right?) Something to consider moving forward……. Or doing one subject next Semester rather than two is looking like a more feasible option for me.
