By designing my life plan I have learned that my dreams would only become a reality if I make wise decisions and it is only up to me to achieve my goals.

1. I don’t have a system to decide what i will do each day. As much as i want to be organized and have a system, it just seem to never happen. I have thought of a few ways to change and I’m currently working on them. One way is to use a calendar to remind me of the work that i have coming up.
2.  I have found that it is better for me follow my own guide instead of a fixed one. I have to be able to adapt to different situations and things are always shifting.

My Life Plan

My Dream: Until I start to realize that life is all about the money and not the education, that’s when I know I have achieved my dream.

My Life Role: A graduating student at Baruch College

My Long-Term Goals in this Role: I plan on graduating from Baruch College and Grad school. I want to achieve both a M.S. and MBA within the next 7 years.
My Short-Term Goals in this Role:
.I will achieve a 3.5 GPA or better

.I want to travel abroad

.Milly Rock on that Gates block

.I will build and make new connections

.I will get an internship every summer

2.) I have learned to change my attitudes for achieving life goals by saying “I will do” rather than saying “I want to do”. If you want to do something, it doesn’t mean you have to do it. Opposed to saying that you will do something, meaning that you have to do it.

Journal Entry #14

1. The system that I use every day when I wake up is to simply go with the flow. I don’t necessarily like making plans, my life is busy as is. I make mental notes for everything, I do not use a planner because it is a waste of time. To study for tests I usually study the review sheets and look over class notes. If I’m tired I usually take quick naps to give me more energy to complete my homework or study. I feel like my system is a resemblance of High School. When I start to become more mature and finally realize what real work is, then I will change my system.
2. In order to improve my daily system I will have to make some adjustments. First I will change my whole routine, and get into the college flow. I have to try to always be one step ahead of my schedule. I want to better my self-managing system, by making myself more organized. I plan on getting folders for each class, so I don’t mix up any of my work. I’m somewhat organized just because I am neat freak, but I think I will have to start to become more considerate for the value of my school work. Overall I think it all comes down to experience, and my bad habits will change overtime.

2 Write about what you have learned or relearned by designing your life plan.I have learned that writing down my goal will help them achieve them. Taking a commitment will help me succeed in college.

1)Write about the system (or lack of system) that you presently use to decide what you will do each day.

 The system I use to decide what I will do each day is note taking. I take notes all over my study books. I also use a calendar app on the IPhone. The app helps me remember important date and deadlines like this journal entry. I tried to use hard copy planners like planner books. I have bought dozen cute big, small, pink, blue, black, and pokadot planners, at the end they all go missing. I also count on others like my friends and my mom to remind me of important deadline.

2)Write about how you could use or adapt the five self-management tools in this chapter to create a leak-poof self management system and improve your outcome and experiences or, if you do not want to use or adopt any of these tools, explain why.

The five self- management tools will help me organize my life because right now it’s a “hot mess”. The monthly calendar will be help me to plan my main event for the school semester. The next actions list will help me focus on my day to day activity. The tracking form will help me track my progress of reaching my goals. The waiting-for list will help me reduce the number of times my goals got stuck waiting for someone and forgetting. The project folder is such a great idea because I constantly lose important document that contains to school because I don’t keep them in one folder! I will still keep my IPhone calendar of course because its easy to use.

My Life Plan

My Dream: I would like to have a career somewhere within the medical field. I am still currently searching for my dream.

My Life Role: Student

My Long Term Goals in this Role: To pass all my classes and maintain a 3.0 GPA or higher. I would like to have completed at least three internships by the time I graduate. This will allow me to have a head-start in any career path that I choose to take.

My Short Term Goals in this role: This semester alone I would like to have a 3.0 GPA at least. I would like to complete all of my assignments on time and stay on top of my work.

2) By designing my life plan I learned that  I need to go into more depth on decisions I want to make. I need to make sure each and every decision is calculated and is one that is thought out thoroughly. Designing my life plan has revealed to me that I need to stay more focused on my journey throughout college. The only way I can accomplish these goals is by doing the best I can and being an overachiever. I want to obtain success more than anything and I can only do this by working hard for it. This is what I learned from designing my life plan.

1) The system I use to decide what I will do each day is a “next actions list”. This is the system I have used all of my life. I have a weekly planner that I use. I prefer this planner than an actual list because I can see which days I need to get things done on. I can also see the deadlines I have for assignments when using my planner. My system has been working out for me pretty  good so I feel comfortable with it.

2) I prefer to use only a “next actions list” in my planner. I would not like to transition to any other self management system. I feel like this one is reliable and self sufficient. The reason I like using my planners is because I am able to see dates visually. Although the monthly calendar system has this, I prefer my method.

My dream is to become a great businesswoman. Work in an office and to be happy.

Three long term goals:

1.  Being able to work many internships along my college years.

2.  Achieving happiness in my workplace and successfulness.

3.  Traveling and working in many areas around the world.

Three short term goals:

1.  Getting A’s and B’s to keep my GPA as high as possible.

2. Reading many books and becoming more knowledgable.

3. Doing study abroad or work abroad.
