Self-change project
William Penn quotes that time is what we want most, but what we use worst. Self-change is a very hard processing for many people. My self-change project is to complete my schoolwork on time. I need to improve my study planning and time management skill in order to get a better grade in all the classes. I would like less focus on chores at home and do not waste time watch movie, playing games. I want to focus on improving my study plan and time management after evaluating my habits and behavior.

I need to make a plan on how can I evaluate myself to see my progress in the self-change project to achieve my goal. I find our time and progress management chart that is helping me to see my progress each week. Then I did some …show more content…

The positive effects are complete schoolwork on time that decreases my stress level. On the other hand, I am spending more time compare before to complete schoolwork. I need to follow the same schedule every day, which is making me feel bored. Sometimes, I did not get enough motivation to complete my homework, sometimes I feel homework are going be hard then before and sometimes I feel sleepy while doing schoolwork. I decided to change myself slowly everyday base on study load. I start to get a positive result after few weeks.

My learning style is visual-spatial and interpersonal. Visual spatial helps me to recognize relationships between objects and representing something graphically. Similarly, interpersonal skills help me to relate others, noticing their moods and feelings and doing teamwork. I always like to go learning lab to discuss my study problem with a tutor that help me a lot.

I created a one-week baseline assessment of my target behavior as it occurs normally and charts the result perfectly. This result show that how am I imperfect about my study? My family members are always telling me that if I do not change myself then no one can change me. I saw some motivation program on TED and educational program on YouTube that helps me keep me motivated. What is most important for me right now? This question always helps me to motivate and complete my schedule

    This health behavior change helps to target my lifestyle and diet. By implementing at least 30 minutes of physical activity and not resorting to junk food immediately after, will help increase my self-esteem and body image.

  • Goal Setting and Overcoming Immunity to Change

    2746 Words  | 6 Pages

    In March, my PSYC class was presented with a challenge - to identify a personal improvement goal and to address this issue using an Immunity to Change map. My lengthy list of personal struggles was quickly narrowed down to one item with focused reflection. My improvement goal was to engage in productive thoughts and behaviors that would provide better time management practices. I was initially looking to improve my behaviors at home so that it would translate into success in all areas of my life including my career. With thoughtful observation and consideration, the Immunity to Change (ITC) map provided a developmentally raw process that continues to help me focus on my improvement goal today. Although I am still working on this goal, this process created more opportunities to make significant development changes above and beyond my initial intentions.

  • Examples Of Personal Improvement Plan

    1070 Words  | 3 Pages

    In many ways developing a personal improvement plan can help prevent complacency, generate personal growth, and build self-confidence. The basic premise is based on the determination of specific goals, and developing strategies to achieve them. As a forty-seven year old college student, I’ve had my share of implementing improvement plans. Some bore excellent results, while others produced stress and anxiety. Cultivating improvement requires an awareness of your particular strengths and weaknesses, also diligence to work on those areas. In the past, I had a tendency to become depressed, or discouraged when I failed to reach a goal. I am a thinker by nature and apt to experience analysis paralysis, a state in which I become so caught up in planning that I cannot take action. The areas I struggle with the most are, stress management, time management, and finding an optimal learning method in class. It is my plan to overcome these challenges and attain a more empowering perspective, refine my university experience, and ensure that I successfully integrate personal and academic development effectively, in a way most beneficial to my future.

  • Learning Style for Student Nurses

    1509 Words  | 4 Pages

    Learning is defined as a permanent change in attitude or behaviour that occurs as a result of repeated experience (Sims & Sims, 1995). Understanding one’s learning style has many advantages as it can help one to identify the learning method or activities that can help to optimise the learning experience. It has been suggested that the importance of one’s learning style has been identified through studies and research on how one can maximise the potential for success and further learning development (Honey & Mumford, 2006). Learning styles are unique to each individual and are developed in childhood (Chase, 2001). We all have different personalities; therefore we all have preferred learning styles that suit us best. The way one learns depends on preference. Some learn by observing, listening and imitating others and draw conclusions from their experience. There are several factors that affect our learning style; for example, background, culture, religion and environment can have a major influence on one’s learning.

  • Personal Learning Style

    756 Words  | 2 Pages

    A big component of my learning style is hands-on experience; learning while doing. This usually involved someone with more experience instructing me as I performed the task. Through the hands-on approach, I picked-up the knowledge and gained proficiency as I went along. My learning style also involved standard classroom instruction, which usually meant listening to lectures and taking notes. My note taking was not the best so in order to make up for what I lacked in note taking, I would read the textbooks repeatedly until I understood what I was reading. I learned that in order for me to get a complete understanding from my readings and notes, there had to be a lot great deal of repetition ...

    “A learning style is a way of learning and refers to the way that you learn new information” (2). Most people have one preferred learning style and perform to a lesser standard when learning in a different style than what they’re used to. Nowadays, children are told to take a quiz in school to determine what their preferred learning style is, but after a few years, not many of these children remember what their preferred learning style is, or even if they do, they don’t apply it to their learning.

  • A Learner Autobiography: The Past

    1139 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the past, I have always studied with the T.V. on and while listening to music, which was not helpful because they would both distract me from studying and learning. Ergo, my environment would keep me from learning to maximum potential. Contrastingly, my learning environment in school was very helpful, my teachers always made sure we comprehended all the information and were open to answering any questions we had on any topic, which in a sense made up for my bad physical environment. In regards to my motivation, I have never liked school and have always wanted to be done with it. As a result, I would never want to study and would procrastinate and end up studying the night before tests instead of planning out my studying time. However, over time I have realized that getting an education will increase my chances for a more successful life in the future and that is what motivates me to do well in school. Simply put, in the past I was a learner who used many different learning strategies in order to succeed, was an unmotivated person, and had a negative physical environment, but a positive school-learning
