Week 4 was a week of studying. I read my advanced psychology books and made notes. It was so insightful.

Review of Week 4

 
1.Book of the week: Thank you for arguing

It really taught me how to argue. It is a book with step by step instructions and examples of conversations on how to speak. Since I was making notes, I was not able to finish it.
 
2.Course of the week: Influencing people
 
I made good use of my commute time in doing this course. It explains the power of influence with social experiments.
 
3.Habit of the Week: Thought Tracker
 
Thought tracker is not as simple as emotions tracker. I found it difficult to capture all of them in a proper format. I need to devise different ways to make a note of thoughts. Then I will be able to see which one works the best.
 
4.Exercise Routine:
 
I have a little satisfaction on this for this week.
 
5.Socializing
 
The people who I made friends with are now coming to my desk to talk with me. This is the second milestone in socializing.
 

Challenges for Week 5

 
1.Book of the week: Everybody writes
 
I read a part of this book before but I could not make notes. As I want to improve my writing style, I will read this book and make a checklist.
 
2.Course of the week: Influencing people
 
I will finish off the final week and make an action list on how to implement what I learnt.
 
3.Habit of the Week: Free writing
 
Everyday, I will set 15 minutes aside and write whatever comes to my mind. It can be about anything which makes sense or does not make sense.
 
4.Exercise Routine:
 
I will continue the same.
 
5.Socializing
 
Socializing has been an exciting challenge. I am not sure what should the next milestone be. I will just keep talking which alone is in my control.
 
6.Writing
 
It is very stressful to write daily. I want to take a break this week and write only when it is feasible.
 
7.Language Learning
 
I will listen to radio for around ten minutes and write down at least one sentence.
8.Organise
 
It is a pain to search for clothes every morning. I will plan the clothes for the week on Sunday so that I don’t feel frustrated in the mornings.
 
That is all for the next week.
