Reflection On Self Management

Assessment 1, Part B: Review and Reflection

1. SELF MANAGEMENT PLAN

On reflection of my self-management plan, I now know that I cannot commit to all the study hours I put down. I did not leave enough time for personal recreational activities such as reading, watching television and napping. To help keep a mentally healthy mind I cannot dedicate all my free hours to study, I need to take time out to relax and just be by myself to prevent myself from procrastinating later down the track during my study time. Also, I found that committing to the gym 2-3 times a week has been particularly difficult as when the assignments were piling up I was too stressed and too busy to take time out to go exercise. However, I found that by planning to cease all

During class I would bring a notepad and note any important points my seminar leader makes as we go through each question relating to the readings. I found that during the time that many of my assessments were due I had trouble completing all my readings and would come to class unprepared which would leave me not understanding the class as I was too busy attempting to note down everything related to the readings that I did not have time to do.

I believe that my group communicated well with the use of Facebook to upload our parts of the presentation and to keep updated with each other. However, a few members did not use these resources to their advantage and failed to deliver their part of the presentation until the day of and therefore we were not able to effectively integrate our presentation together. Even though we meet up twice we still were not able to use that time to improve our presentation as some members did not finish their research in time so we could not include their parts in the preparation process. Despite this issue, we did keep to the time limit appropriately and each member understood our justice issue and presented their parts with a successful understanding of the issue. I believe this was because we split up the parts in topics with certain points to be included and that was effective in making our presentation more structured and more
