I must try to understand her point of view and reasoning, before killing the idea and moving to the next task. The lowest scoring area for me is Sharpen the Saw.

and how blissful it was. After reminiscing into the past, Baker states, “Suddenly I wanted to write about that, about the warmth and good feeling of it...,” He wanted to write it for the pleasure of himself and not his teacher.

When I first decided to take this class I wasn't really sure what to expect. One huge difference I noticed between High School and Columbus State is the self accountability. I have discovered I have a slight procrastination issue. At the start of the semester it seemed as though the first papers deadline came out of nowhere. I got better with handling my deadlines as we wrote more papers, but I still procrastinated more than I should have. When band season was in full swing I found it hard to…

I would give myself below an F-.My goal was to start the speech a week before I actually presented it, which I did, but “old habits die hard” as going to University High School, the unnamed motto was “procrastination; procrastination”.
