I need to have less procrastination and plan specific times for school work. As of now, I wait until the last minute to start on school assignments. I also have not designated area to study or do school work, I usually sit in front of the TV while it is on. I believe if I set a time to do school work and a quiet place I would avoid procrastinating and concentrate more on my assignments. The learning habits and skills I already have are taking notes, and recording lectures to review randomly throughout the day. I take notes or record the lectures I typically write down three sections on a sheet of paper. One section is for overall note taking, the other is to emphasis key points, and the final section is to summarize the information and highlight the key points to review on what was discussed. So, I would say organizing helps me retain and learn the information more effectively. The learning habits and skills I need to develop are developing a daily routine and to write down realistic goals. Such as studying or doing school work in small increments throughout my day. Generally, if I don’t set up a deadline, I won’t be motivated to do school work on time. I believe being successful in school is an important part of having a successful daily study routine. The plan I have for developing and sustaining the learning habits I need to develop is to begin on the right mindset to study smarter. I will aim to think positively when I study and remind myself of my skills and abilities. I will find an ideal place to do school work, to avoid distractions and be able to concentrate on school work. If I am distracted with work or TV shows, then doing school work will be become a frustration. Also setting a study plan that fits my work schedule. I will avoid lengthy study sessions which have a habit of being overwhelming and increasing procrastination. I will take

    The writer in the story "Discovering Yourself with Myers-Briggs" instantly caught my attention in the first paragraph leaving a questionnaire for you to answer. In my opinion the author motivates the reader's diligence to discover what these questions mean.

    The experience that I went through and that I would like to share was when I played golf in the beginning of the year. I was fine managing my schedule during the first week or two of school, but then I started getting more and more homework as the weeks went on. I had a hard time keeping up with my school work and playing golf. I practiced every day after school and I didn’t really have any time after school to do my homework. Playing golf took up basically all of my time because I played it 5-7 days a week between practicing with the school team or practicing with my golf instructor/coach.…

    Assessment one “My Basic Personality” showed that I was indeed an ENTJ. Those of the ENTJ personality type are born leaders. They can become frustrated and impatient when things don’t unfold according to their expected plan or time frame, evoking notions of the “Type-A” personality (Drenth, n.d.). Assessment two “Ambiguity” showed me something new about myself. Having intolerance of ambiguity means that you tend to perceive situations as threatening rather than promising (Robbins, 2008).…

    m I Most of the time I am a sleep deprived, over-caffeinated, occasionally temperamental, introverted extrovert. Allow me to explain. As I sit here typing away, pondering the little things about myself, I am fighting the urge to nap. The reason why I am so incredibly exhausted and insufficiently caught up on sleep is because I like to paint. I am an advanced procrastinator or in other words an AP student with a part-time job and so you see my schedule is busy enough as it is without added hobbies.…

    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.…

    After searching through numerous pictures between the years of 2000 and 2003, I can conclude that my personality has not changed much since then. My parents always told me that I was a character because I would always be cracking jokes or I would be smiling and it would spread to everyone around me. To this day, I consider myself an optimistic individual. I like to see the good in everyone and every situation that I encounter. This was definitely easier when I was younger and the only person who I thought was mean was the principal at my elementary school.…
