  Gif Source Managing my time, keeping up to date with tasks and deadline has always been an undesirable pain. Especially when you pair it with my laziness and procrastination combo, this makes me the ultimate avenger of inefficiency and is an area that I am trying to greatly improve in ordered to be more productive. the goal for this module is to always be at least one weel ahead o. a couple of tasks ahead, this will give me a comfy cousin to fall back on when I inevitably decide to take a lazy day.  I found the realistic study plans  by  Amanda Collins very interesting, It gave me very helpful tips such as evaluating my time, making a list of all the task that needs to be done and making an estimation of how each one will take so they can be allocated appropriately.

Blogger is one of the technology tools that I would be most familiar with since it was part of the requirements for some of the modules last term and I have the most experience with it so far. bookmarking is vital for keeping everything organized and I think is very important to maintain a well-documented bookmark, I have a great knowledge of image editing and tools such as illustrator and photoshop, which I think it'll come in handy for future assignments. Another aspect I'm looking forward to learning more about unity3d. are its an area that I'm not familiar with and I think it will be interesting to explore that aspect and learn more about game design?

A picture of a brain with text (Image Source ) I hadn't heard of Carol Dweck work or the growth mindset before this and I found her process very insightful, I thought the grade of "Not yet" very interesting metric of grading in terms of allowing the student to not feel as if they had completely failed or run out of options. The studies that she also quoted was also interesting too as it gives insight on how words such as "yet" and "not yet " could have a significant impact on confident and engages more learning outcomes. I could differently see myself trying to the growth mindset utilize this way of thinking into my college work, I think there are many benefits of this technique and will encourage me to take a different approach and not to give up when I don't receive the desired outcome. in terms of implementing this into other aspects of my life, I think I will change the way I perceive failure.
