If you will not be able to complete your journal this week, please provide an update for the Career Dev team on when you’ll have it completed here (remember to reflect on what you have control over, what you want to try differently this week, and what habits you can utilize to get back on track):

Assess your habits from week 2: how did you spend your time this past week? What was effective in your habits? What could be more effective? What steps will you take to make that happen?

• This past week, I have been slotting time specifically for JSFun and IronFE and that has allowed me to be more productive. The prioritizing is keeping me focused.

If I can put myself in the position of others and view things from their perspective, then I can successfully create a bond with them and we can cooperate in order to achieve a goal.
