Although it is important to identify where we are now, it is not enough to stop there. We need to reflect upon how we can develop the skills where we are less confident and how we can transfer the skills in which we are confident and competent.
Activity 2
Complete the audit below, using the information from the table above.
| Recognition | Reflection | Action |
| Skills already developed | How will I use these | How do I know (evidence)** |
| Working under pressure | I will use this skill when having to meet deadlines for my assignments. I feel working under pressure helps my time management skills. | During my time at school I studied a 5 or more subjects at one time. Therefore this meant that my work load I had was very high. The more I felt under pressure the better I worked as I knew that I had to get my work done in order to meet the deadlines set. |
| Time Management | I will be realistic about how much time I actually have to complete tasks. I prioritise my workload either by deadlines or by my strengths and weakness. For example; If I am finding a particular area difficult I will set myself more time to focus on this. | I plan my time by either using my whiteboard which I write down all my tasks and can then wipe them off when they have been completed. I also like to use my diary to keep on top of my time |
