My Homework

Improved Essays
The problem I am hoping to solve is that I don't do my homework when I get home from school. This is a problem because I take higher level classes that require work outside of the classroom. This also affects my grades in a negative way and I hope to change my homework habits. My solution is a ten steps I plan to take to help me focus on and complete my homework. The first step I plan to take is to set up a regular workspace to do my homework at. For this I plan to use the desk in my bedroom. My second step is to have all the supplies I will need before I start working. This will ensure that I won't have to get up to get something and thus become distracted. The third step in my plan is to limit distractions such as cellphones while I'm working on my homework.

I also expect this to be something that is difficult for me to follow through with. I do plan to follow each of my steps every day for two weeks.

I also plan to record what I do for each of the ten steps every day. Another thing I could track to get even more data is what time I go to sleep and what time I wake up. To track the progress of my solution I will also record my grades for each class. My problem is that I don't do my homework when I get home every day. To solve this problem I plan to follow a ten step process every day over the next two weeks. I will use the homework schedule I plan to make every day to record my results. I will also record my sleeping schedule and the amount of assignments I complete on

    When I first began this class I thought that this would be just another introductory class that is required to orient you to the expectations of the particular college. Now, after completing this class, I know that this is not the case. Personal Dimensions of Learning has been a great help, not only to my school work, but also in my daily life. Before taking this class, I thought that learning, and completing daily tasks, were mostly memorizing the order of the way things are supposed to be done and just completing the task. I never liked this strategy, but it always seemed to be the most convenient way to get things done at school, home, and work.…
