1. The behaviors I have used and continue to use to keep up with this course is to work ahead on the assignments. They are all given to you ahead of time so if you finish one assignment keep moving onto the next so that you are wasting no time. Obviously we have other classes and other things going on in our lives so I set reminders and make check lists to make sure I stay on schedule and get everything done that I need to.
2. There have been moments where I have wanted to give up and just get into my bed when I was overwhelmed with exams in all my other classes. What got me through was maintaining the mindset to take everything one day at a time. Forming a schedule of when to do certain things kept me grounded and not overwhelmed. During these past two months, I can definitely say I have developed a tenacious attitude. These past months many different things have been thrown at me, whether it was school or my personal life, and I pushed through and didn’t let it stop me from doing what I needed to do. The main things that contributed to this was managing a heavy course load and prioritizing what was most important in my life at this time in my life.
3. Three tips that foster the skills that support tenacity and tenacious mindset:
a. Work ahead: this class is kind enough to give you all the assignments ahead of time so if you know you have a busy week coming up with your other classes get ahead on this class so that it is one less thing you have to worry about
b. Time management: Create a schedule or check off list so you don’t forget things and so that it keeps you organized. Plus, as you check things off you’ll feel really accomplished and like you are getting things done.
c. Self-care: Sleep and food can go a long way. In order for you to have a tenacious mindset you must be healthy and fully there, not running on one hour of sleep and no food. (side note: coffee is not food go eat some protein)
This picture just reminds me that there are more things in life than just school and reminds me to just relax for a second if I'm feeling overwhelmed.
Good evening. Keep up the hard work and keep maintain this awesome mind set you have. I really liked your picture you included. I also liked how you mentioned keeping up with your assignments especially because you have proved that throughout the course. Whenever I want to get things done early it’s nice that I can come do my peer reviews on your posts because they are usually done.
