WAYS TO INNOVATE MYSELF

According to the SWOT analysis by myself, there are 4 weaknesses I need to improve. They are poor English, bad time management, lack of programming experience and a bad memory.

Firstly, the only ways to improve my language of English are to read more, to talk more and to listen more. In order to read more and listen more, I planned to spend 30 minutes on reading South China Morning post every day and I will spend 15 minutes on watching TVB pearl news report every night. Whenever I find some useful vocabularies, l will drop down them in my notebook and do revision every day. Actually, I have found a website call BBC English Learning which is very suitable for me. So I will also spend 2 hour on learning English through the website every weekend.

Secondly, for the time management, after the deep thinking, I found that the reasons why I am always attracted by the temptation are that I have too much unscheduled time and I have never thought about the priority of everything. So I think I should firstly identify clearly what things necessary do, what things I should do and what things I want to do. The things necessary do should be in the first priority and things I should do should be second priority. And things I want to do should be done whenever I finished the first two things. And then set up the new time schedule according to their priority.

Thirdly, for improving my programming, I found that the only way to understand how to program is having a try on the codes. So I will spend one hour on practicing programming and doing revision every day. Also, I have some friends who are good at programming. It will be more effective if I will ask them for help whenever I have problems about programming.

Lastly, to improve my memory, I will try different memorizing methods such as picture, story, and association and so on. But I found that I may spend more time on building up the associations. So I have to practice more to improve the efficiency.

In addition, I have found a way to change one of my threats into opportunity. Originally, it is difficult for me to use the time for traveling by MTR because it is too crowding every day. I have no space to do revision and read books. But I can make use of my ear. I can add some sound files into my mobile phone so that I can practice my listening every day.

Obviously, by using the methods above, I will enjoy the effective and efficient learning every day.
