ALL WOMEN in Medical Occupations:  Are you serious about health care?  If so, consider joining GETSET - Girls Exploring Technology, Science, and Engineering Together. 

HOMEWORK:

• Practice the medical terms for your test on Friday.
• Take your pulse BEFORE you get out of bed tomorrow, Thursday and Friday. Write it down.
• Turn in the career center scavenger hunt early if you'd like.  Due on Friday.
• Type up your mini-biography on your person of interest in medical history and have it ready for Friday.  Hand this to me after your 1-2 minute presentation.

Print this info out on procrastination for a discussion tomorrow.  You may also write it down neatly. Bring it in tomorrow, 9/25. I will ask that you turn this in for a HW check.

PROCRASTINATION…….How do you break the pattern?

TACKLE IT NOW!

1.       Prioritize tasks.  Create a “to do” list.  Categorize these tasks.  Create lists that save you time, like setting up your errands by time and geographic location.  Plan some play time.

2.       Question your beliefs.  Do you tell yourself that you work better under pressure? Prove it. Do one task at the last minute and one ahead of time.  Test other myths, such as “I don’t have the ability” and “it has to be done perfectly”

3.       Control impulsiveness. Most procrastinators jump from one task to another and rarely finish anything. Make yourself complete one task before starting another.

4.       Old habits die hard. Don’t expect to change overnight.  If you change one thing a week, you are making progress!  Acknowledge that and be proud of yourself.  This helps you realize that more change is possible.

Take care,

Mrs. Erceg
