Wits William Cullen Library | 1 Hour Study With Me | Ambient Music
Показать описание
Happy Thursday!
Today we have another 1 hour session and the sound is ambient music.
Weekly Update:
I took part in Monday's exercise and here's how some of my numbers are looking:
Monday:
# Lectures Attended - 2/2
# Lectures I pre-read for - 1/2
Lecture Engagement Rating - 3.99/5
(For me, this rating includes how much of the work I was able to understand in the lecture (active learning) and whether attending the lecture was productive or not).
Tuesday:
# Lectures Attended - 0/0 (My Actuarial Economics Lecture got moved to Wednesday)
# Lectures I pre-read for - N/A
Lecture Engagement rating - N/A
Wednesday:
# Lectures Attended - 2/2
# Lectures I pre-read for - 1/2
Lecture Engagement Rating - 4.8/5
Thursday:
# Lectures Attended - 1/1
# Lectures I pre-read for - 0/1
Lecture Engagement rating - 4/5
The purpose behind the exercise:
People play differently when they are keeing score, and without consistent accountability measures/systems, you are not in the game.
High School is a perfect example of what we call "The Winner Effect" - the more you win at something, the more likely you are to continue winning at it, and this has various factors at play, like changes in your self-confidence (very important) and your risk appetite. Remember how easy it was for you to ace exams in HS because you were already winning at almost everything between the start of the term and the exams? That was the winnner effect, and the principle works the same in pretty much every aspect of your life - winning leads to more winning, and it's hard to transition from losing to winning, but once you start winning, it can easily lead to more winning [someone call Eminem please! Lol].
Here's my chat : Waiting until the end of test week (or until you get your test results) to see whether you are winning at what you are doing or not is you not leveraging on the "Winner Effect", and 9.99 times out of 10, you cannot do anything to change that particular test score once you get it and you realise that you are losing.
However, between now and the beginning of your test week, you have your performance in tutorials, assignments, lecture attendance, mock tests etc - lead measures that can be used to predict whether you will win in your tests/exams or not. We tend to assume that we are superhumans or magicians in university, but we all know that your academic performance is a DIRECT reflection of your experience and your habits with tutorials, lectures, how much of the content you understand and your work ethic.
Creating scoreboards around these lead measures and consistently tracking your habits/behaviours with them is the highest form of self-accountability, and the second your scoreboards start looking green (I still have some red-flags in mine but I'm getting there), the winner effect will kick in and you will officially be playing a winning game. (If I am confident and fast in tutorials, I will certainly be confident and fast in tests).
So create those tables - track and record your tutorial completion times, how many sections you complete in a week - whatever works as lead measures for YOU and can be quantified. Make sure that your scoreboards are displayed somewhere in your room, and update them at the same time every week.
Today's chat is a little long so I will cut it here. Generally, it's been a really hard and overwhelming week for me. I've had to go back to my vision boards and personal development plans from January to remind myself of where I want to be at the end of June and why all of this matters, so if you are overwhelmed too, go back to the drawing boards, update them if you have to (because now you can get more practical) and keep it moving - it will all work out.
Finish the week strong and I hope you have yourself a lovely weekend!
See you on Monday :)
