Week 4

The final week’s implementation was very similar to week 3. I found that the tactic of putting away my phone whilst studying to be very effective in relation to the productivity levels in my time management. I was easily sticking to the study plan with barely any issues. 

This week was to be a very busy week for me and I had to put in more hours to study in order to meet to my quiz and assignment deadlines. Typically, I would be very stressed and would have increased anxiety when assignment datelines are approaching as I would have left them to the last minute. However,  despite the increased number of studying hours this week, I found myself to be completely focused and hardly got frustrated at myself as I was progressing efficiently with my work. I believe this was due to the previous three weeks implementation, as I was up to date with my work having spread out my load over many days.

My PSS scores had decreased further and was at an all time low of 14 points. I was thrilled as I felt in control of my stress and anxiety, I was able to be calm and collected even under the pressure of deadlines and was able to meet to them. I will definitely be continuing with this system as I see the effectiveness of the strategy in my own studying patterns and have experienced positive results from it.
