Ah, my last blog post. I can honestly say I have enjoyed this class a lot more than I thought I was going to. The lessons really helped me develop my time management and study skills which have needed improvement for way to long. I think my biggest problem was always motivating myself to get started. I have a lost of intrinsic and extrinsic motivational sources but my fear of failure always holds me back from confidently attacking my assignments head on. Instead, I let my deadlines dictate my life and complete my assignments just so I don’t fail. I haven’t completely resolved this issue but I have started to improve the way I view my school work. I have a lot of long term goals for myself, I want it so badly that I’m terrified of what will happen if I don’t reach them. I have started to use this fear as a more positive motivator and now I know that as long as I do everything I can possibly do to achieve my goals, I will be proud of myself no matter what. This is my new motivation and it has already helped me improve my study habits and reduce my distractions. I embrace the help of technology and also know when to distance myself from it. My best advice that I could give for a student is give yourself a reason to succeed; find something that you want to achieve more than anything and I promise you that once you have this goal for yourself, you will have the motivation to do whatever it takes to get it done.
