Lessons Learnt..!!

If you don't do the pre reading, you can't participate in class discussions.
If you stay late to sit and study, you feel extremely sleepy and struggle to stay attentive in the class.
If you interact and do the “networking”, you don't get time to complete those assignments.
If you start working on the assignments, you realize that there is a lot to do.
The school provides each student free newspapers ( Financial Times, Globe and Mail) but you don't get a chance to go through them in detail.
There are so many things happening simultaneously that itz difficult to track things.

How do I feel?
Every day is like a mini battle. You wake up with certain goals and expectations in mind and go to bed analyzing how much of it you achieved that day and how much you could have done.! Sometimes I feel good, sometimes a bit overwhelmed. Some times the pressure gets on me and at other times, I enjoy the challenge.!

What I need?

-I need to strike the right balance.
-Working hard is not enough. Productivity is the key thing. If I spend a couple of hours on something, I should have done
it well.
-I need to set internal deadlines. I should realize the value of every minute.
-Prioritizing things is very important. Planning is crucial.
-Staying organized is a big factor. Keep things organized. Be it your folder,work space, study table,Emails or your room.!
-Collaborating not competing will make you get the most out of your MBA program.You are in a class of smart people and work with them to maximize your learning.
-Good sleep is essential to keep you going all day.

The MBA program has started pushing me out of my "comfort zone". The pressure is building up each day. I need to keep my cool, set objectives and work towards them.

Blogging helps me relax ,feel good and stay focused.
