How I have Grown as a Time-Manaager...
9th grade was a trial run to see if project-based learning was right for me. Most of the projects had a more structured schedule for the projects last year, there was a designated due date for each part of the project. This year the projects do not have such a structured schedule, so I have learned how to manage my time properly so I do not have an overload of work the night before the project is due. I have learned the best way for me to manage my time is to work on a single project until I run out of ideas then I switch to a different project and then I spend the weekends catching up or getting ahead for the projects. That is how I have grown as a time-manager.
Social Style Reflection
With awareness of your own individual social style, as well as others, comes the ability to have more effective communications and relationships. The social styles profile is based upon my strengths and gives me a chance to see the strengths of my peers. With an awareness of the spectrum of social styles, I develop greater tolerance and understanding of other styles, and gain greater versatility in communicating (On the Edge Productions).
1. What is your primary and secondary social style?
My primary social style is Analytical. My secondary social style is amiable.
2. Given your social style – how do you like to be treated/interacted with? How don’t you like to be treated/interacted with?
Given my social style I like it when people give m the straight facts and do not try to sugar-coat it. I prefer people to talk to me as if I am the same age as them. I do not like it when people talk to me as if I am five years old.
3. Given your social style – Where do you sometimes feel misunderstood?
In my mind I know exactly what I am trying to say but when I try to actually say it out-loud my words tend to get jumbled up. When this happens people then try to guess what I am saying but actually end up "putting words into my mouth" and do not understand what I was actually trying to say.
4. What could others do to relate with you more effectively?
One thing people can do to relate to me is to stick with facts and stay objective when possible. Another thing people could do is give me time to think about what I am going to say and what is actually going on around me.
5. What could you do to relate with other styles more effectively?
Drivers:
For drivers I could try to think less and do more of my work without over thinking everything.
Amiables:
For Amiables I could focus less on staying objective. I could keep how they are feeling in my mind and try to work with that.
Expressives:
For experessives I could let them get their ideas and opinion out into the open then give them my point of view on how things would work and how their ideas could be improved if necessary.
6. When you are stressed – what behaviors will people see? What causes you to go into “stress behavior”? When you are stressed what can people do to best support you?
When I am stressed I tend to withdraw from the world. I will talk less and I will be less active. I tend to get stressed when my school work becomes overwhelming and deadlines are overlapping each other. The best thing people can do to support me is to give me space and let me deal with it in my own way.
