Reflection
Some of the challenges that I faced while creating this blog post were remembering the things that bothered me in the past while I was not currently in the moment. I had to use my memory to think about what parts of my daily routine were inconvenient and could be improved. I also am a relatively relaxed person so I usually brush off a lot of things that would bother most people. This assignment has helped me to think about day to day life and how there are a lot of things that could be improved with simple adjustments.
Kyle,
ReplyDeleteYou have a really great listing going and I can relate to pretty much all of those things too. I also can relate being a pretty relaxed person who doesn't pay as much attention to the little things that bother me but as I began to look at all the little things in everyday life they really add up. I think you had a good idea of what the exercise was all about and executed it well. Nice job.
