A1. Working Style I have an unusual working style, I’m an explore and excite kind of girl. My individuality is key to my success. I need to be allowed to work in my own way. Traditional methods of working are often limiting to my creative mind. I function best in and open-ended, semi-chaotic environment. I thrive in change and enjoy action-oriented settings. I am inspired by people working together, thinking outside of the box and making connections between ideas. My flexibility is certainly one of my greatest strengths. I can easily move between different working styles, depending on the scenario. I have no problem trying a new idea or concept out before deciding on a final direction. I am continually exploring different options. Being a “people-person” is one of my other strengths. My excellent interpersonal skills allow for me to bring ideas, thoughts and people together. I generate enthusiasm and excitement into tasks. I feel comfortable and confident talking to others about anything that I have knowledge of. I am forever late. The ultimate procrastinator. This is by far my biggest challenge. It isn’t that I can’t get things done in a timely manner, they just never seem to work out that way. I am great at getting the research done, the outline complete and draft started. However, I easily get side tracked into …show more content…

I have learned that I am not the amazing communicator I once thought I was. I have many skills to practice and develop to become an effective communicator. Discovering my working style has allowed me to look more closely at my roles in various groups at work and understand why these groups don’t always work. I was also able to take away a better understanding for my learning styles and how to embrace them instead of trying to conform to a more traditional way of learning. These skills will aid me in my quest to be the first person in my family to earn a Bachelor’s degree. I can, and I will

In my papers, I have noticed that one of my biggest strengths is how articulate I am. The papers that have been written by myself show that I structured sentences to present ideas in different ways.

  • Being Procrastination

    1224 Words  | 3 Pages

    I am a procrastinator and I have been ever since I was a child, which I am sure many others have been as well. As a child, I would put off my work mainly because I did not want to do and wanted to occupy myself with something else, rather than to sit there and actually do the work. When this happened, of course, the work would either be done in the morning, at night, or it would not be done at all. In his article, “The 5 Most Common Reasons We Procrastinate,” written for Psychology Today, Shahram Heshmat (2016), “The lack of imposed direction that’s become common in the workplace might contribute to the increase in procrastination” (para. 4). This is something that was more prevalent in my freshmen year of high

    Just as they are standing face-to-face with each other, I am standing face-to-face with procrastination. I encounter difficulty managing my time with just about everything I do; I always wait too long. Throughout high school I was never in a hurry to get any of my work done. The work was easy to me, so if I waited until the last minute to do anything, it wasn’t hard for me to finish. I could always take my time to get everything done and still get a good grade in high school. Even if the work was harder and took me a little extra time, my teachers were all very lenient and accepted late work. My high school was very easy and allowed me to get into the bad habit of procrastinating.

  • How Have I Changed As A Writer?

    581 Words  | 2 Pages

    Procrastination has become such a bad habit for me. It is very hard to stop procrastinating everything once you have gotten into the habit of doing it. Once I had a term paper due for my religion class. It was to be ten pages long and we were told to spend a lot of time doing it. Being the procrastinator that I am, I waited to the very last minute to do it. I waited until the night before to do most of it. Needless to say, I was up very late that night. In this class there was always a part of the paper due on a certain date before the final paper was due. Having things due before the final paper is due keeps me on task and keeps me from procrastinating until the day before the paper is due. There was one paper which we had to get sources for a while before the paper was due and it forced me to keep up with the paper, rather than let it go to the last minute. This class has taught me that the earlier you start the more positive your final result will be.

  • Perfectionist-Dreamer Analysis

    When going by the procrastinator styles listed in the text, I am a "Perfectionist-Dreamer-Crisis-Maker". I always want to do the best I can, which often leads to me not getting things done at all, due to feeling like I would disappoint myself and others with a poor or even just average job. Some strategies that might help me would be; setting lower goals, trying not to overthink things, and realizing I don't have to try to be perfect. In a smaller amount, I demonstrate aspects of the "Dreamer" type, e.g. not feeling like I can do something if it appears hard at all, and having ideas in my mind I can never transpose into reality. Even though I listed it last, I definitely am a "Crisis-Maker". I usually don't do things until the last minute,
