FINISHING STRONG
I was confident that I had studied well for the anatomy CA(Continuous assessment) so I resolved that in preparation for the exams, I will only review the anatomy of the upper limb and concentrate more on the lower limbs which had been taught after the CA.
I was however shocked to a higher degree the day the lecturer came to do tutorials on the anatomy of the upper limb. I realised I did not know as much as I had claimed to know. He made me realize that I still had so much work before me. I felt as though I needed to start studying that section all over again.
Looking back, I realized that I assumed I was at a certain level which I was not and why? I hadn't been measuring my progress. Thank God I learnt that and was able to do that before my exams.
Why exactly should you measure your progress and how can you do that? I'll be answering these questions for you. Let's begin with the "WHY"
👉It helps you know how far you have gone and how far you are yet to go; some people labour for their goals and when they are so close to achieving it they give up. If some of them knew they were that close they would have persevered but they didn't because they did not measure.
Also, some like me think they are very closed to achieving and when they come torealiseherealiseaway, it becomes very discouraging. Save yourself the stress.
👉It is a source of motivation; Just knowing that I have been able to move a certain distance from the starting point gives an extra push for me to keep going.
👉It helps you know when you are on track and when you have gone off-track; when you consistently measure your progress, there is absolutely no way you can wander for long in the wrong direction without realising it.
👉It helps you to know when to re-strategise; It is only when you measure your progress that you can realise on time that the process goals you set are not getting you to your desired destination and it'll be better for you to change your action plan
👉It helps you to know if you are moving if you are on a standstill, or if you are just wasting your time running in circles.
