In order to maintain the sleeping time, I had to manage the time used for doing homework and revising. I understood more about my time distribution in one day and learnt more about time management although sometimes I did my art homework after 1 am.

I learnt how to focus when studying because I would stop using my phone for 1 hour each day. For example, deleting instagram.

I learnt how to persist through reading everyday and making records.

Make myself more independant and self-disciplined

Self-control on screen time and tell others to use less electronics

Make studying more consistent and remind my group mate and roommates to study too

Sleep early and remind my roommate to sleep early

I have understood how I can continuously improve myself and be more self-disciplined. Being a person with good financial management has enabled me to save some more money and leave them for further expenses. I understood that I often had the motive to spend money on everything I see at my first glance, but through this 5 week LTOL project I have learnt to balance myself, and become a better person through it.

In my upcoming Zhao Qing tour, in case if I find something useful and have the temptation to spend my limited money, I will measure whether if the certain object is out of my budgets (the limited money I can bring) and discuss with teammates on whether it is useful in the long term or not, to keep me from over-spending, resulting in issues, such as insufficient money in case of sudden accidents.

I have understood that nothing is impossible as long as you have faith in yourself, and everyone could become a better person. Attaching yourself to a negative trait (e.g. bad at Chinese for me) will cause a bigger problem, since you refuse ‘change’ in yourself and accept the flaw in you. Instead, you should try your best to improve by quitting your bad habit or flaw. With great perseverance, no goal is impossible to achieve.

Through this project, I changed my bad habit of staying up late and tried to sleep earlier everyday. I found that after having enough sleep, I became more awake and energetic everyday. I had a better focusing during lessons. I also learnt to cherish my time and plan my time well. Stop procrastinating can improve the productivity of my study. This project is really helpful!

I will apply three strategies when I go on the Zhaoqing trip.

I can sleep earlier and focus more on the next day, so I can do my tasks more efficiently. This helps me realise when I really want to do something, I can do it if I have the determination.

- I can sleep earlier in the trip so I can have energy for the next day

I have understood more about aspects where I must spend money on and aspects I want to spend money on. I have learnt to manage and maintain a balance on my finances. It is a useful skill, no matter in daily life or as I step in the society, so that I can be a better person.

In case of sharing a price in purchasing something in Zhaoqing, I will discuss and divide the cost properly with my group mates or roommate, so that it is fair for everyone.

I know the habit of procrastinating is difficult to fix, and through this project, I learned how to manage time wisely and use it to do something productive and meaningful.

In the future, I will keep trying to be productive and get things done quickly , which helps me to contribute more in group projects or future work.

In Zhaoqing free time at night, I will try to cooperate with roomates and help them to clean up, being productive and keep the room tidy.

I’ve learnt that it’s quite difficult to fix a habit you have built for many years, as seen in my journey to fix my sleep schedule. I understand myself better through this project as it helped me realise my faults in even these small things which should be am-mended, and without this LTOL project I may have continued to worsen this bad habit of mine. I have learnt to be more self disciplined in my day to day life, which will greatly improve my work life balance as well.

Take a short shower instead of a long bath so our roommates can use the shower earlier.

This project helped me to…

-understand my ability to control myself.

-learn to persevere and be independent

-learn how to manage my time effectively.

(1)Be considerate towards my roommate and try to find a win-win solution with any problems. Know how to tolerate others

(2)Don’t use the washroom for too long

(3)Give personal space to my roommate e.g. do not hug her

Sleep earlier to save energy for next day activities and to save energy as well

Don’t chat too loud during the trip to avoid disturbing others.

Learn to keep organised so packing up the next day can be done faster and easier and improve my organisation skills

Duolingo gives out notifications that help us to remember when should we do our duolingo practice, so that we won’t break our streak. I think I am being more responsible and mindful for doing practices. Doing duolingo improve our language skills

Set an alarm clock to make sure you don't wake up late

Can read before sleeping; more calm and in the mood for sleep; can have a good nights sleep

Don't wake up later than 6 o'clock
