Description
For this assessment, I will be using the Gibbs (1988) Reflective Cycle (Oxford Brookes University, 2016) to reflect on a situation where I have been struggling to work on assessments early. I was given an assessment which was not due until three weeks later, because I did not do it early on, other assessments came up and my work started piling up which stressed me out but I finished them in the end. Although I have completed all the work, the grades I have achieved were lower than expected.
Feelings
I felt upset as I knew I my capabilities. I also felt stressed and pressured that I have disappointed my parents as I know they expected more from me. I was very anxious that I might get used to the habit of not doing work early on and that it could lead to even lower marks, failing the unit or not succeeding in my nursing course.

If I did not do the assessments, they would take a large toll on my grades. It made me realise that my bad habit of working on assessments until the last minute results in lower grades and regrets of not having enough time to proof read and provide more detail. The bad thing about my experience is that I cannot rewind the situation, I would have achieved a higher grade if only I did not procrastinate. In 2015, research from Warwick Business School, para 5, has shown that “delaying submission due to poor study habits has a serious and detrimental effect on performance” which is evident with my grades. Also, the cycle could continue if I get used to it so much that I do not discipline
