what did I do this week?
- Set up my second program advisor meeting
- Wrapped up 2 classes and completed all assignments just in time
- Finished module 2 readings, videos, and lectures
- Secured a public health leader interview for a qualitative methods assignment
- Set aside some time for leisure reading & a 4-mile walk
what worked?
Starting early was helpful, I even finished all the assignments for one of my classes one day early – also setting time aside with family and doing non-school things like personal readings were a nice break
what didn’t work?
Wrapping assignments up for one of my two classes by Sunday – they got in just in time, but I prefer not to push it too close to the deadline
what can I do to improve or will try to improve?
I still think daily check-ins are critical, but I’m also going to make sure I stick to my time management plan and minimize distractions
what did I listen to, to get through the week?
- Super Deep Smoothed Brown Noise – 12 Hours – Brown noise has been great for background noise and for focusing especially during readings
- …and it’s Monday again ⏰ [mellow lofi hiphop / boom bap beats] – I can never not listen to Chillhop – also their newest video adds some subtle city lore – love this channel 💜
what interesting article or quote did I come across?
Frieden, T. R. (2010). A Framework for Public Health Action: The Health Impact Pyramid. American Journal of Public Health (1971), 100(4), 590–595. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2009.185652
An important framework that helps to outline five tiers critical for making improvements in societal health. It has some interesting considerations that I may blog about later – Stay tuned!
To your salud & success,
