non-procrastination weaknesses

I think that some of my other weaknesses would largely be related to stress. I get really stressed out when working on any kind of project because I always take everything so seriously. I always have to apply myself until I am spread too thin. There are rarely projects that I can simply “half-ass” in order to complete them up to satisfaction of the teacher. Rather, most projects I end up spending most of my time perfecting the product until I finally feel comfortable presenting it. Although this could be a potentially good trait, I think that it’s limiting in the sense that I could be accomplishing other tasks instead of perfecting the one that I’ve been working on already.
Another learning related issue would have to be my organization. I am fairly organized throughout the quarter, but when grades come out I have been known to dump my school work in the corner of a closet. For the past few years I have regretted this, and I think that a possible solution would be to upload some of my most favorite scholarly projects onto an eportfollio so that they can be saved timelessly, without damage to the original copy (ripped / missing pages etc). I think that this would be a great way to reflect on my past achievements.

11 points. I love the way you connected this task back to eportfolios :)
