I am not as efficient as I would like in getting things done: clinical documentations, thesis write-up, class readings ... The things I manage well are E-mails and errands. Well, I also did some good shopping trips ...
Maybe here lies the problem. Priorities! Priorities! I am not setting my priorities straight. Maybe it is NOT a good idea for me to leave my gmail window open all the time. I am really quick at E-mailing. However, it nevertheless takes away my time for other things.
I also need to adjust my attitude/expectation toward my internship. It is going to be busier and more intense than I originally expected. First, I started the real deal quicker than I expected. Maybe that's a good thing. Second, when it got started, it REALLY got started. 12/week actually is going to be quite a lot. So the chance is I won't have time to spare to read my class reading at my internship site and in my internship hours. If I am not careful enough, which means if I don't redeem the time, I may end up needing to put extra hours into it.
That's a good amount of reflection for now. A good place to recap with future plans:
1. Set up E-mail checking time. - Lunch time 12-1pm. Do brief replies then. Save the long E-mail until the end of the time.
2. Have a to-do list with priority rankings and time mapping.
3. Block half-an-hour chunks of time to devote on writing reports.
It is time to try these out and come to reevaluate. :-) My own behavioral modification project!
I am a work in progress! The LORD will bring to completion the good works He has started in me. ^_* Onward! Upward! Forward!
Press on!
