No more "gone fishing"

Catching on and catching up!!!!!!!!

So as you may be able to guess from my title something that can sometimes get me down is my wonderful superpower. If I were a superhero, which of course I am not, my special superhero power would be the power to procrastinate. In my comic strip, which takes place in an online MSW program, I can sit back until the very last minute and come in and save the day. Save the day in this case, is to get my butt in gear and finish an assignment with 2 minutes to spare. Some super power.
 
So what am I going to do in order to combat my procrastination? First thought is to not worry about anything until it is due. After further consideration this is not going to work for me. So instead of “gone fishing,” I will continue to have to protect my study time, my social work dedication and my continued life balance. Sometimes I have to say NO to family and friends and say YES to homework.  It is a learning process and not only am I learning about the subject matter, I am also learning about my own personality and the way in which I operate.  

Something that I will hope to contribute to the DL community is a positive approach. I may not bring much to the table but overall I would consider myself a positive person who looks for solutions to problems and not more complaints. As we learn to provide information and options to clients from a strengths based perspective I want to continue to move in that direction.
