Pressure

Thanksgiving weekend. 47 days until the grading. This is what is primarily on my mind. I will be honest, I can feel the pressure building. I am going through what I know, doing my best to ensure I not only know it, but have the skill developed to execute it at a level that is sufficient. So why I am letting this pressure build? It is an important day, but remaining calm is my best bet.

Remaining calm AND having a laser focus. It is difficult to get anything accomplished if I try to do too many things at once. If I try to go over everything I know at one time, I will just be maintaining them all, nothing will be improved. However, I am making an effort to take one concept, focus on what I can improve and take time to reflect on what it is I just did. Afterwards, moving on to the next one, focussing solely on it.

I know this is a topic I write about a lot, but as I said, this is always in the front of my mind currently.

Have a happy Thanksgiving everyone!
