Writing Plan Review

Verdict: Failure!

Analysis: I do not work well under strict time schedules for working. While fixed due dates are acceptable, even preferable, preplanned work sessions are doomed to failure.

Rhetorical Query: Who is able to plan one week ahead of time as a Houghton student, let alone one month?

Extrapolation: The proposed writing plan requires far more control over the particulars of one’s schedule than is possible in this place. Recital requirements alone rendered useless several of my scheduled sessions. Unplanned meetings for other classes had similar effects, though not nearly as often.

Confession: When originally asked to make such a schedule, I was still under the impression that this was a week-long experiment, a chance to try out various times of day. When asked to continue with the written plan, I had… reservations.

Statement: I do not much care for pre-planned schedules, anyway. It requires knowing how much sleep I will get the night before. The dorm situation makes this difficult at the best of times. Earplugs are not nearly effective enough to properly bock out the noise.

Conclusion: Revision of the schedule is inevitable. I do not follow the plan, anyway. However, I am hesitant to commit to any such plan, considering the chaotic nature of my work in all other areas of my studies. That said, I will post something shortly.
