In Class 4/13

Reflect on your project practicing - what are you doing well? What could you do to improve your practicing? 

While in the woods, all we did was practice. Every day we would go through the same required tasks; collecting our wood, starting our fire, cooking our beans, collecting and purifying our water, cleaning our dishes and preparing our shelter for the night. At first, all of these things were new and difficult, however, we did every task so often that by the end we were able to do them all with ease.

Reflection on the article "Need Motivation..." AND your motivation-- what keeps you going? Record a passage from that has a suggestion that you would consider. 

The thing that keeps me most motivated is my fear of failing. Although I do slack off sometimes, I always come through in the end because I'd rather put in the effort and succeed than waste my time and fail. A passage that stood out to me in the article by Phyllis Korkki was "First, divide the work into smaller tasks and set deadlines for every one of them. Then find a tough and reliable person to hold you accountable for meeting each one." I think this would work extremely well for me because it would give me incentive to get my work done, that isn't just to succeed in the end. I would also try hard to get my work done to save myself from the wrath of this person. I think one of my largest problems right now is that I am not afraid of my mentor, so what he says seems more like suggestions than demands.
