It's really nice to have some moral support out there in the wilderness!

But it's still not yet proposal defense, just writing.. with guidance haha... I also enrolled in a masteral class, Industrial Psychology because it's a missing course I need to qualify for the Psychometric Board Exam. Luckily, the class has been designed to focus on the board exam :)) ... So it's like actually enrolling in a board exam review class. Did you see the "Dates to remember" I posted here in my blog? HAHA.. I just HAD to post it here already to remind me of the things I need to do this year... I'm sure and feel it's going to be a productive one and very busy one indeed... or rather busy-er .. <br /><br />Unfortunately, my line of work does not have anything to do with online learning :( but once I graduate I'm going to focus my papers in edutech/online learning... <br /><br />We have to keep on checking each other for progress!! ^_^ Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645676985337241348.post-83772779087198303452015-01-11T04:19:10.259-08:002015-01-11T04:19:10.259-08:00Oh no...I just wrote out a whole comment and it go...Oh no...I just wrote out a whole comment and it got lost...oh well....<br /><br />What I was going to say was - well done on taking the time to prioritise your goals. Like you, I struggle sometimes with saying no - or rather realigning other people's expectations - at work. It's hard at first, but people generally adapt quite well if you tell them upfront, as long as you are then able to meet the ammended deadline. (Then you have to constantly realign new unexpected requests from other people...it can get rather exhausting!) It's a work in progress : )<br />Outside of work, it's the tough decision about how to juggle all of the things I'd like to do - and recognising I'm not going to have time for all of them (moocs, chats, blogs etc...) AND finish the masters as well. So I'm going to have to work on that this year. <br />Anyway, I'm 100% certain that you can - and will - do it! I think it's great that you've left time in for your physical and mental wellbeing - that's important, and something that I need to do too : )<br />Look forward to checking in with you as the year progresses!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738705098253305638noreply@blogger.com
