    To overcome barriers, the author would do schoolwork on off days at coffee shops to schedule longer blocks of focused time. On work days, they would rest to have energy for off days. They also implemented a strategy of just doing one or two questions at a time to avoid procrastinating.

    Healthy Lifestyle Management Plan: Part B (20%)

    Reflecting on My Overall Progress 


    1. Discuss and explain your success in implementing your action
    steps and achieving your goal (referring to Part A of the
    Healthy Management Plan). (5 marks)
    When it came to successfully completing my action steps, I faltered, I was not able to
    complete all the steps however I was able to achieve my goal. I struggled a lot with
    waking up at 8am everyday consistently because my daily schedule was not consistent
    in terms of when my day started. On Mondays, I finished work at 11:30pm and on
    Tuesday and Wednesday, I had work at 6 am. This prevented me from not only waking
    up at 8am but left me sleep deprived through the week. Thus, I woke when I felt like I’ve
    had enough sleep which could be anywhere from 9am to 11am. My gym schedule was
    also inconsistent with me going once or twice for the duration of this 4-week plan. The
    reason being is as mentioned before, my inconsistent work schedule left me extremely
    fatigued and the little energy I did have, I judged was better spent doing something else.
    I was successful in scheduling blocks of time to complete my goal of deep focus when
    working on school work by eliminating distractions. I did this by keep a clutter free work
    space with silence and I had my phone in my backpack out of sight, so I did not get
    distracted by it. I also successfully completed unnecessary phone scrolling and web
    surfing by being more mindful of what my intentions were when I performed these
    actions. I would ask myself; how did this benefit me? How can I better use my time?
    Was there something else I could be doing right now? These questions helped me
    wasting time online.

    2. Identify barriers that you encountered along the way that


    made it difficult to stay focused on your goal. How did you
    overcome these barriers? (5 marks)
    I wanted to successfully schedule blocks of time daily to focus on schoolwork, while
    eliminating cellphone usage during this time to focus on my work. This was difficult to
    do as fatigue with work and the inconsistent work schedule I had prevented me from
    doing schoolwork daily. To stay focused on my goal, I would do my work outside my
    home on my off days and thus schedule longer blocks of time to go to a coffee shop and
    work. The days that I did have work, I would treat as off days to relax and rest so I would
    have energy for my off days. This was a deviation from the initial goal however one that
    ended up working. Another barrier that made it difficult to stay focused on my goal was
    the need to distract myself while trying to do schoolwork. I would find any reason to
    procrastinate by shifting focus to other tasks such as working out or cleaning my room.
    In order to overcome this barrier, I had to implement a study strategy where I just did
    one task of the greater task. So, if I had to work on an assignment, I would do two
    questions out of the ten and when I had the ball rolling, I would naturally finish the
    assignment or put it in pause and work on it the next day. Even if I didn’t finish that
    assignment that day, these steps helped me overcome the barrier of procrastinating and
    distracting myself from the school work at hand.

    3. On a scale of 1-5 (1=very weak; 5=very strong), how much


    effort do you feel you put into working on your target
    behaviour? Explain. (2 marks)
    I think on a 1-5 scale, I put a 3 into working on my target behavior because I did not
    accomplish all my action steps, I set on completing. There were certain action steps I
    was proactive with achieving such as limiting unnecessary time online and spending
    blocks of time to focus on schoolwork, undistracted. However, steps such as waking up
    8am everyday or even visiting the gym 3 times a week were a complete failure. I was not
    able to make much progress with them throughout the four-week period, only being
    able to perform such steps haphazardly.

    4. Based on what you’ve learned through this process, what


    would you change next time that would make you more
    successful? (5 marks)
    I think I would make goals more smaller and attainable, as well as specific. Instead of
    making blanket statements like going to the gym 3 times a week, I should start with
    maybe doing 10 pushups in a day, and then going to the gym once, next week. I should
    have also made my intention more specific such as doing a 5x5 bench press, 5x5 squat,
    5x5 bicep curl when I go to the gym instead of just saying I am going to the gym. This
    works for schoolwork too. I should have been more specific with my intention such as
    initially spending half an hour actively reading material and bumping it by half an hour
    every week instead of just saying I am going to be more focused and eliminate
    distractions despite the fact I feel like I achieved my step. I think by being more specific
    and starting off smaller, it doesn’t set me up for failure and makes the process more
    tangible and helps me accomplish little goals which will improve moral and in turn make
    my end goal more attainable.
