Week 2. 'Starting Out'

Week 2 : Starting Out

My assignments were coming thick and fast and I was a little overwhelmed. Having watched 'Inside the Mind of a Procrastinator', 2016, TED Talks, I realised that I often spend time in the orange zone with the gratification monkey on my shoulder. Urban (2016, April 7) suggests that we need to focus on being a rational decision maker where there is a long term plan, and the end goal is understood.

Therefore, with some guidance, I planned a colour coded Semester Schedule, Image 1, a Weekly Plan, Image 2, giving me time to study, work, coach and play my sports and, relax. This has enabled me to see the semester in context of what i hope to achieve over the next three years.

I made an Assignment Folder, Image 3. The Assignment Folder is organised in chronological order of due date across all subjects, Image 4, and contains each Assignment Brief, the rubric and a personal Assignment Plan. These plans were generated on Assignment Planner, RMIT University. I have also included a summary of the APA7 Referencing Guidelines in my folder.
