Dpers final rap up post

Which three quotes from that reading link with your experiences in the podcast project? What makes you say so? How is this useful for you as we enter the last three months of the year?

“Mental toughness is like a muscle. It needs to be worked to grow and develop. If you haven’t pushed yourself in thousands of small ways, of course, you’ll wilt when things get really difficult.” This quote relates to the challenge that I and my partner have been doing because it was just a small challenge to turn off all of our notifications but it really changed the way I used my phone and directly challenged my view that I was controlling my phone and not the other way around

“It wasn’t strength or smarts or leadership potential that accurately predicted whether or not a cadet would finish Beast Barracks. Instead, it was grit — the perseverance and passion” Again this is a scaled down version but there were times when I was just like ‘this is dumb, I’ll just turn on notifications for like one app’ but then I felt that as soon as I did that I would start doing more and more apps and then defeat the purpose of the challenge. This also relates to “toughness and grit equal consistency.”

 

As you listen to your partner agreement responses, where do you think you should have thought more about collaboration?

A lot of our partner agreements were about our personality traits and how we could work together and not so much about the best way for us to get the most out of the partnership. I think that we should have talked more about what we could do to maximise our collaboration

Which pieces of advice could you have thought more deeply about and why?

Like I said above I could have thought more deeply about my partner’s traits and strengths and how I can build off them with my own and then discuss this with my partner

Now that you’ve worked with different partners, what is it that you MOST need from a partner during a project and how do you know?

From a partner, I most need someone that will listen to some of my (sometimes bad) Ideas and consider them without shooting them down straight away but also someone that will contribute their ideas even if they are not perfect or fully thought through and then we can expand on them together.

Which part of the tool (see below) was the sharpest for you in this project? Which part do you think you need to spend more time using and why? How would using that tool have helped with this project?

I think that my bottle opener was the sharpest tool for me because I was able to convey a lot of what I was thinking and feeling to my partner effectively. I think that I definitely most need to work on my scissors for cutting out distractions and I have noticed this in all of my classes that I can get distracted very easily. One of the ways I think I can manage this is the ‘A Soft Murmur’ website Ms Freidman showed us I am using it right now to write this and it is effective for stopping outside sounds that could distract me
