14A – Halfway Reflection

1.  Tenaciousness is a competency
1. The requirements for this class can seem to be a little overwhelming at times, but that is because it is an online class and is supposed to have the same fullness of an in class lecture. So to keep up with the class assignments I set reminders ins my calendar to make sure that I do the blogg posts on time with enough time to do a thorough job on them.
2. Tenaciousness is also about attitude
1. When I feel like giving up I usually have to set my mind on the goal I have in mind and the consequences of not finishing that goal. Over the last two months my tenacity has definitely increased. I think that having 17 credits this semester and four of those classes being online has helped flex that muscle. I have to stay on top of my assignments and make sure that I get them done well and on time.
3. Three tips
1. Stay focused on your goal. The end result should be what drives you towards completing the task
2. Think about what would happen if you do not complete your goal and what the consequences would be. This makes completing your goal even more important.
3. Make a list. Write out everything that can and will try to get in your way of completing a task and start chopping away at them until there is nothing in your way.
