I had been doing my Writing Presentation all day and I finally stopped for a break. It was a Saturday, but my teacher had informed my class that she could check over our presentations if we turned them in to her by Sunday night. I had multiple presentations that I wanted to finish and I had scattered my attention amongst all of them. I found it difficult to work constantly on my Writing Presentation and even more difficult to motivate myself to continue working on my Writing Presentation after I had spent a lot of time working on it. I found it beneficial to work with the television on. However, I made sure to choose a channel that wouldn’t interest me too much. That way, I could remain focused on my project and look up every time that I needed a break. This allowed me to keep from burning out. I also continued to snack while working. This helped since it gave my body the energy it needed in order to continue working and it provided another way to take a break. I made sure that the snacks were by my work area so that I wouldn’t have to waste time in the kitchen. The way that my work area was set up allowed me to work comfortably while not becoming too distracted. I also have just the right amount of distraction to keep me from becoming discouraged with my project. In the end, I finished my project with time to spare. It helped that I had all the materials for my project already in one place. This led to the success of the written portion of my presentation.
