Logan Russell's Halfway Reflection

1.    I certainly had to work on a number of my work tactics when it came to keeping up with the steady stream of assignments that this class built itself around. First and foremost, I would say is time management; I really had to plan how I spent my time more effectively in order to consistently submit the three assignments due at the end of the week. There may have been a few close calls, but because I was able to improve my time management skills, I have yet to miss a deadline in this class or turn in any work I considered subpar. I accomplished this through doing things like using a calendar to plan my weeks out, cut out excessively using social media or playing video games, and only doing fun stuff once all the work is finished. 
2.    A moment when I thought about giving up I remember quite vividly was in the 7thgrade. I had absolutely horrible acne. It was cystic, meaning I had these giant lumps all over my face that were bright red and disgusting; I looked like I had been stung by a hive of wasps every day. I kept going to the dermatologist for months getting different treatments but nothing changed. I was so frustrated that I almost resigned to the notion that I would never look any different, but with the encouragement of my family, I kept going and trying treatments, and the acne eventually went away. Despite that being years and years ago, I would definitely say that I have developed a tenacious attitude over the past two months, primarily due to my recent decision to start getting fit. I have been a gaunt pile of bones my whole life, and one day I just had enough and decided to get fit and healthy. This decision has impacted nearly every facet of my day to day, specifically my confidence. 

3.    My three tips would be: 1) Understanding that with everything you do in life that you get what you give, 2) Work on time management, and 3) Realize that true happiness comes from within and not any external force. These three tips can change make anybody tenacious and a success at whatever they choose to do.

  1. Time management is important to integrate into the daily life, you would need to look for a place to work, a place for research, a place for fun, and a place to pursue a dream. I also suffered from acne but It was gone at 17 and absolutely we need to work on time management and research time to improve the business decisions

  3. Logan,

    This class also forced me to improve my time management skills. Even though they are still not the best, I try to progressively tweak them everyday. Also, about your conquering of acne, way to be tenacious! The same way you conquer acne is also how you get fit. Working toward your goal little by little everyday until it happens. Walking by faith not by sight is a powerful skill set to obtain. Last but not least, your number 3 tip, I couldn't agree with more. True happiness comes from within and then once found it is radiated out to others.

  4. Hey Logan,

    This class can be difficult especially when time management is lacking, after reading your response I was really impressed with how you managed your time and might decide to pick up a few of those tips myself

  5. Hey Logan,

    I definitely see that you are a hard working person and that you also have your goals clear. The story you decided to share with us was very important to understand that no matter what is going on, you choose to keep going and that is very important for business and life as a whole. I also agree that this class is time management.
