My first reflection....

It has been 2,5 weeks now since I started my doctoral program. Despite the new academic period has been very busy thus far, I was able to discipline myself to progress according to my planned schedule through a more structured, routine timetable. Surprisingly, despite the additional hours needed for studies and assignments, I noticed I have been living a more efficient and productive life nowadays. I could have more quality time with my hubby and young kids, students and even to pursue my hobby things. Reasons being, earlier I always have this mentality that I 'can do later'... and the continuous delay resulted in less efficient and productive lifestyle, with lesser achievements. However, nowadays I know I don't have too much time 'later'. So, when I need to do something, I JUST DO IT! It works!
