Week one

Hey everybody,

Hope everyones week went well. For my goals in particular, it was a strong week. I only had one quiz this week, where I was happy with my grade. Because the lack of exams, I studied a lot of the information for every one of my classes. This way I was able to catch up and build a stronger foundation of what I was learning about for each class, so come test time, I am good to go. Lets hope it works out though, because this week, I got a BIG week of exams. An exam in each of my two most demanding subjects and a paper due in another. I think with my study habits will benefit me for this upcoming week.

The other behavioral goal to help me accomplish my goal of a 4.0 is my sleeping habits. This week was a good one for me in this area. I didnt take any mid afternoon catnaps, which have helped me go to bed earlier (midnight) after studying. This has helped me get up earlier and be more productive. I already feel the changes happening, hopefully it will translate in my grades!

  1. Bob,

    Great goals! I definitely wish you the best of luck with all your exams and can't wait to hear how well you did.

    Getting the right amount of sleep really plays a big part in you reaching that 4.0gpa. Your brain performs so much better when well rested. You can certainly make it happen and it WILL get easier. Creating a new sleep pattern is tough at first, but your body will become accustom to it in no time.

    Keep up the great work!

    I really liked the fact that you studied for your other classes when you didn’t have any immediate tests/quizzes in them. This is something that I always tell myself I should do, but usually opt out in order to relax or socialize when the opportunity presents itself. This will definitely give you a head start when it comes to studying for your next assessment.

    I’m also glad to see you are slowly reconstructing your sleeping patterns. In the past, I have been guilty of napping all afternoon and then often found myself awake at ungodly hours of the night. My friends used to joke that I was nocturnal. I can attest that cutting out naps is hands down the best way to go. I also tried to refrain from caffeine after dinner and tried to hit the gym to relieve stress/anxiety before bed. Hopefully you’ll be able to incorporate some of these methods or find some of your own to help you reach your goals! :)
