Journal Entry #17

1.

  1. An outer obstacle that stands between me and my success in college is procrastination.
  2. Someone besides me who could overcome this outer obstacle is an upperclassman who had dealt with the same issue as me.
  3. How this person can help me is by providing me with examples on how they have overcome their issue.
  4. An inner obstacle that stands between me and my success in college is not giving my all.
  5. Someone besides me who could help me overcome this inner obstacle is a guidance counselor.
  6. How this person could help me is by motivating and encourage me.
  7. The most challenging course I’m taking in college this semester is english.
  8. This course is challenging me for because it requires me to think critically and close read.
  9. Someone besides me who could help me overcome this challenge is my English professor.
  10. How this person could help me is by further explaining to me what needs to be done.

  1. Another obstacle I would like to overcome is getting things done last minute. I believe if I put the time and effort in and start my work early I would score higher than what I would normally get when I work last minute under pressure.
  2. Another obstacle I would also like to overcome is not taking notes during class. If I take notes more often I would understand the course much better and can even get things done on time.

4.  I realized I spend the most time in Quadrant 3: Not Important,  But Urgent. I don’t spend that much in the first and second Quadrant because I do a lot of procrastination and sometimes lose motivation. I definitely plan to change that. I will do this by putting in more effort and time to complete all tasks on time.
