1. Reflect on your habits from last module. What behaviors and activities were helpful for you? What activities and behaviors could be more effective for you? What processes would you like to try differently this module to become more effective at your work and as a software developer?

Helpful-
Pom workouts, cooking good meals
Could improve-
In class focus, tracking work to do/study, sleep

2. Setting intentions for this module: who do I want to be this module? What specific habits would help me get there? How are those habits tied to the identity of a software developer?

The main intention is to be less distracted. I want to be a person that is more able to focus deeply on the hard work, not be distracted by a phone or reddit when I get bogged down. Focus is a key trait to a good developer.

**Habits Reflection:
How have you seen yourself become more aware of your habits? Have you tried implementing anything new? What have the results been?**

  I have tried to focus on habbits this last week. The most important one being that I let other good habits when it comes to self care and exercise fall to the wayside as stress and workload mounted. I need to reinforce those habbits so they become part of daily life and not a negotiable exercise.

**Design Thinking Reflection: Cultivating Beginner's Mind
How can beginner's mind be helpful when it comes to thinking about your career and job search? What are some habits you could put into place to cultivate beginner's mind regularly?**

  Beginners mindset is helpful in multiple ways. First and formost I believe it helps one enjoy the day to day experience of work, school or life. It helps keep things fun. This translates into higer stamina for long days, a better attitude and less stressful exsistence. Importantly one is likelier to persue continuous learn

**Mod 0**

**When you've worked towards a goal in the past, what systems or tools have been helpful for you in accomplishing that goal? How could you adapt those same systems/tools to use while at Turing?**

Planning. Goals that look utterly audacoius at first can often be broken up into smaller pieces. A roadmap can be laid out that eventually gets you to the place you need to go. It could be skills, customers acquired a whole host of things that can be laid out, the math run and a plan put into place. Then you just have to have the determination to stick to the plan.

**As you start this new career, what is one of your strengths and how do you know?**

Adaptability. I've started two companies now and have become acustomed to doing what I can with what I have. I've frankly come to enjoy pulling of things with constrained resources. I also constantly practice this when alpine climbing.

1. Habits Reflection:
*How have you seen yourself become more aware of your habits? Have you tried implementing anything new? What have the results been?

I am working towards becoming more aware of my habits. I have been implimenting a 5 minute workout every pom. The results have been fantastic. I feel less distracted and happier

2.Start Where You Are (Empathize with the user -- you)

*Health: how you answer “how are you”; intersection of physical, mental, and emotional health
  *How would you rate your overall health on a scale of 1-5? How do you currently make time for activities associated with your health? What is a small change you could make here to readjust your health ratings?
