Activity 1 : Case Study

"Hello, I'm Sophie Pickering and I work as a project manager. I've agreed to work through PressurePlus and to do the Activities and to keep a sort of diary of how I get on. I hope that my experiences enrich your understanding of this structured learning programme, they may help you if you get stuck, or maybe amuse you if you get bored!

Lets see how I get on, I'm dying to get started.

Well it's 8.30 am and I've decided to spend 30 minutes each morning working through PressurePlus until I finish it. I've set my phone on to voice mail, poured a glass of water and hope I can crack on before I'm interrupted.

I've read through Learning Module 1, Part 1, and that all makes sense to me. I liked the bit about the fantasy zone - I think my manager lives there, she keeps piling on the work and makes jokes like 'come on you'd hate it if you were bored' - she doesn't understand that there is also a 'comfort zone' not just 'stretch, strain and panic' which is where I live most of the time.

So looking at the graph, realistically, I think most of the time I'm in the stretch zone, often tipping into 'strain or even panic' but currently I would opt for 'stretch.

I now have to print this off. I decided not to use the hard copy Activity Workbook that you can send off for because I'm not really a paper and pencil person. But I'm a bit worried about this printing bit as the printer is shared by several areas on the floor and I'd hate someone to see it. Of course I'm entitled to use the open learning packages in my own time, it isn't that, but the thought they may joke about my results. Well it's fairly quiet, here goes, press print and hoof it to the printer, hope there isn't much in its memory."
