This week really had me thinking about the strengths and weakness of my character. I started to think about what my "True North" was and how I could get there. Also the ability of seeing our actions, words, thoughts, and results forming a triangle that help to establish our credibility and develop our sphere of influence really provided a picture in my mind that is easy for me to comprehend and break down.
When I started to think about my character and beliefs and actions that end up being my reliability I have a tendency to be tardy to events, whether it is meeting a friend for lunch or making sure I am at site early enough to prepare for the day. I think this stems from my lack of organization. Instead of having my day organized and "having the end in mind" of what my day will look, sound and feel like before I begin leads me to be always running from place to place.
My commitment will be to plan out a "big picture" of the week every Sunday night. This will allow me to include big events and times so I can start to have them in mind. Then the "details" to the next day can be added the night before in my calendar for reference. I think this will allow me to clearly organize my time, allow me to be more efficient and will cut down on my procrastination.
I see lack of organization and procrastination as two major inhibitors when it comes to my leadership. I have a problem with the minute and less meaningful tasks, what ever the reason I know that I need to become more proactive in completing these tasks and making sure in a timely manner. I think this will lead to a more balanced life, inside and outside of leadership in school.
