Reflection on the circuit breaker period

The circuit breaker period started on the 19th of March for me. This was because our holidays were brought forward because of the pandemic. Staying inside my house for more than 2 months has changed my life in many ways, and has made it better in some. Staying in, has helped me devote time to my hobbies such as dance and painting.

However, it has also made me a little lazy in many aspects, now I find that I am less willing to do physical exercises. This all changed when I was assigned with the PE task that had minimum requirements to fulfill every week. Now, I find that I am more willing to engage in physical exercises and go outside.

Lastly, remote learning can be a little too stressful sometimes. This is because it may be quite hard to find the balance between “online” time and “offline” time. I hope that I can return to school soon.

SWOT analysis

Here is my SWOT analysis, obtained after doing the skills check.

S- A strength for me, useful in this project would definitely be time-management. This is because procrastination often leads to a work of sloppy quality. To ensure this does not happen, time needs to be managed well and certain tasks need to be prioritised.

W- A weakness i have is indecisiveness. This problem needs to be addressed and fixed soon, since it can lead to a lot of time being wasted over trivial matters.

O- This project could be a great opportunity to develop my communication skills, as I might be working with peers over the course of the project. Alongside, I hope this project gives me a chance to improve my written communication.

T- An obstacle I face is having other due assignments and tasks which I may have to prioritise over this task. This could lead to me spending little time on this project and not getting a chance to hone my skills that I had hoped would improve over the course of this project.

2 goals that I have set for myself-

  1. Improve written and oral communication.
  2. Try to reduce the time I spend on making decisions over less significant matters.
