When composing my academic mindset project, I worked alone. This approach always works well for me because there aren't to many distractions. I also don't have to answer to anyone when it comes to my own work. There is never a difficult part about working alone, in my opinion it is very beneficial. There aren't hundreds of opinions I have to listen to or I don't have to feel bad about disagreeing with someone. Overcoming this was very easy and didn't have much of an effect on me. This time I wrote this blog in the living room, as I had mentioned before my son is always playing in there so its hard to get things done. But on this particular day I was home alone with the exception o my son. He napped for an unbelievable 3 hours, I had so much time to get my thoughts together. This was a great approach because in that amount of time I got all of my work done. I wrote this blog a few days ago which sucked because I didn't start working on it right away and that pushed me back a little. I will say that this approach wasn't a very good one. I definitely needed more time instead of having to cram it all into one day. I very much agreed with Carol Dweck on her opinion of growth and fixed mindsets. She gave so many examples which lead me to believe she has a strong argument on this topic. I haven't yet revised my project but when I do I plan on adding a lot more detail so it's more comprehensible. I definitely won't wait until the last minute to do so, I will still to my normal writing process.
