What this Blog is For

Can I do it better this semester with a negotiated personal plan? This is where i'll keep my plans and ideas, and organise my thoughts to make Strategic Marketing more organised and more enjoyable. And importantly, to become more self-aware and evaluative throughout the semester so I can improve and make my last core marketing subject a knockout! Please refer to the labels below to skip to a section. Thanks, Indiana Lowe Student Number z3158241 Tutorial Tuesday 2-3.30

1. SWOT Analysis

Strength

Action

Ability to articulate

Communicate well with the group, and make sure everyone understands the tasks

Leadership

Can take control and see what needs to be done, and I can be the one delegating tasks

Good Work Ethic

Continue to achieve this semester: to not let the team’s high standard down and do my best individually

Organisation

Stay on the ball and on top of work: be the ‘deadline’ watcher of the group and make sure everyone is handling their individual components

Weakness

Action

Tend to avoid reading the textbook until late in the semester

  • Set aside time and plan the reading of the textbook to not fall behind
  • Join the system with my group in which someone does the chapters’ reading each week, summarises and shares.

Procrastination

Be aware of activities or things I am doing that are not productive and stop immediately; Remind myself of the good feeling of productive work.

Believing I am time poor

  • Make the most out of spare pockets of time at uni and at home
  • Dedicate time to researching
  • Don’t be afraid to say no to going out when I need to study!

Opportunity

Action

Group Work with some people I’ve previously worked with

  • Don’t assume I know everything about people in the group I’ve worked with before
  • Don’t be disappointed that I’ll be working with new members and that the group dynamic has changed

Experience from last semester’s simulation

Use last semester’s reflection and personal suggestions as a motivational tool for the Capstone simulation

Threat

Action

Extra Curricular Activities

Remember my priorities: It may sound obvious, but uni work comes first. Never let them be a detriment to your grades.

The Flu: already behind on my readings and organisation

Let go of the fact that I am behind, no need to feel guilty, and catch up quickly: dedicate more time to catch up.

Part-time work

Concentrate on part-time work when at work, and allocate other times in the week to study. Do not spend weeknights tending to extracurricular commitments.

Motivation Lapse

Keep this plan handy in the diary, update my progress by hand in any spare moments I have.
