Calendar Reflection


Hello there!

According to the online schedule, to succeed in this class I will need to complete 6 hours of homework per week. However, considering it took me about 4 hours to set up this account, I will probably need about 9 hours per week. So, I have attempted to organize my own schedule which will help me balance the amount of work I complete each day. 


Because I have a pretty heavy class schedule this semester, I have been trying to space my work out evenly by completing a blog post a day. I will have to keep on schedule to keep up with my posts. Additionally, I want to keep on my schedule so that I am writing everyday rather than all in one day. 

Actually, this blog might be more fun than I anticipated. I might end up writing more than I am supposed to! That is, if my schedule allows it! 



Reflection:

After reading Clayton's calendar reflection, I realized that my plan to "keep on schedule" is not realistic. Obviously I will try my best to keep a steady plan, however, there will be days where this is simply impossible. When necessary, I will need to form a back-up plan for the days where I get off schedule. 

Additionally, after reading Breanna's calendar reflection, I will follow her plan, in that I will try to complete as much work as possible during the gaps in my schedule (before, between, or after class) as often as possible. Using this so-called plan, I will be able to complete more work without feeling overwhelmed at the end of the day. However, to keep on top of this plan too, I will not be able to procrastinate or abuse what little time I have during the school week. 

Hopefully by following this more flexible and revised schedule I will have a more relaxed weekend!

  1. I understand what you mean when it comes to setting up Blogger, it took me longer than I expected! I really like your strategy, a blog a day sounds like a good way to stay organized and practice writing consistently. In fact, I'll probably use that plan too! My tip is to definitely stay on top of your plan, and don't be afraid to change it up once in a while if you have to.

  2. I definitely agree that it's a lot better to write everyday rather than save it for the end of the week. It will make the class a lot less stressful. I really wish this week I had done a blog a day but now I know. While it is suggested to leave aside 6 hours a week I agree that it will most likely require more.
