Momentum Journal Entry

After reading the article of 10 ways to gain momentum in life, and found out that I would succeed a lot more if I created a schedule for my week. This will be one of my steps during CAS this week since I need to organize myself with my academic and social life.

In this schedule, I’d include the activities I need to do after school, an example can be “work on CAS for this amount of time”, then have “work on homework for this amount of time”. I will include other categories like free time and a designated time for basketball and surfing. I believe this will help me not only with school but also being organized in general, it also goes into the plan & initiate activities learning outcomes since I’m planning and initiating my day through a schedule.

One way to stay true and follow this schedule is to stay motivated and want to change. I lack organization when it comes to activities and what I need to work on and what I shouldn’t, and an example of this can be when I’m playing video games when I should be doing homework. A picture of my schedule will be posted on a different log and after every week it might be modified to fit in the specifics of what I need.

A specific activity I’m doing for my CAS project today is going to Cartagena after school and scouting out local businesses and possibly seeing if I can get the attention of any business that wants to help out with giving space for a certain amount of time. This is the beginning step for this second part of my project. I also want to scout the public school there and possibly talk to a student about how online school has gone for them.
