Just realised that my initial good intentions to post regularly as I worked through the Module didn't last long!
Just been through a very busy period as completing the second written assignment was followed by finishing the remaining chapters of the book so I could take the last few online exams then preparing for the day school then the third written assignments. This all coincided with the start of the new academic year.
But the point is that the journal very quickly slipped down the priority list.
So, how can I improve this as I move forward?
A productivity / uncluttering post I read this morning suggested, for example, trying to think of washing up as part of the meal. Perhaps I can try thinking of updating the journal as part of each study session and not consider the session complete until the journal has been updated?
It's an important point when I am talking to my students about their Work Based Project where reflection on the experience is a significant part of their assessment. Unless they do better than I have with keeping their journals, they will struggle at the end of the module.
