1 month ago My statement about my reflection:
After reviewing my weekly schedule, I gained valuable insights into how I allocate my time and energy. I noticed that while I dedicate a significant amount of time to my studies, I often underestimate the importance of breaks and self-care. I tend to rush through tasks, leading to decreased concentration and productivity, especially during long study sessions. I realised that I need to implement better time management strategies, such as breaking my study periods into smaller, focused chunks with regular breaks to maintain my energy levels. Overall, this exercise has highlighted the need for balance in my life to ensure sustainable progress toward my goal of becoming a developer.
Comment on Discussion with my Peer:
In my discussion with my peer, I shared my reflections and received constructive feedback on my time allocation and energy management. Alireza suggested I incorporate specific breaks into my schedule and evaluate my energy levels more accurately during study sessions. This dialogue helped me refine my plan and consider new strategies for balancing my commitments effectively.
Coursework content
Now that you have your spreadsheet, you reviewed it, and you are confident it is a good picture of your availability and commitments on a typical week, we can reflect on it.
An important goal of this exercise is to observe your life from an external perspective.
Read it a few times aloud and ensure you haven’t missed anything. Ask yourself if this is what you had planned or a realistic description of what happens. Make any changes and iterations to it.
Now look at the number of hours you dedicate to each activity per week.
Ensure you include your energy and concentration levels when studying or CYF training.
Read the updated sample and iterate again on it, ensuring it has the expected level of detail.
Share your reflection with your pair. Ask them to ask you questions about the accuracy of it. Get them to help you to refine it.
