With clear goals set, we can come up with proper strategies and tactics to achieve it. With that, the team become more objective-driven with an aligned direction set.

Having the capability to focus on our commitments has allowed us to avoid procrastination even with a tight schedule. Keeping our momentum is crucial with the limited time that we must complete our tasks.

Working/Studying from home has inevitably blurred the boundaries between studying, personal, and family time. By setting a routine to do one thing at a time, we can lessen the external distractions and properly complete our tasks on time with quality. 

We need to be aware about our purpose and strengths for personal and work goal setting. It is important that we do not blindly follow other individuals' path and constantly reflect on our purpose in life. “Our aims can only be achieved via the vehicle of a plan, in which we must strongly believe, and upon which we must aggressively act,” says Pablo Picasso (Houston 2020).

An analysis result stated 51.6% of university students failed to focus on online studies and 20.6% of university students failed to study at home (Hasan et al., 2021). The pandemic has brought huge change to our lifestyle, and we must adapt quickly to the new norms without compromising our health. Resilience is one of the keys to stay agile on solving new issues and keep up with the general pace of our peers. 

When we face difficult situations or problems that cannot be solved individually, we might give up due to self-doubts and low self-confidence. The incapability of handling negative emotions will hinder our productivity and leads to burnt out issues.

There tends to be moments where we find ourselves being too comfortable and start to procrastinate when we are stuck in a sticky environment doing things we do not enjoy. For instance, remote studying allowed more flexible routine, and we tend to compromise our sleeping time to complete the tasks that were piled up. Also, the distractions that lead to lack of focus on the current task has caused decreased effectiveness on our study routine.

We will understand the personal goals of every teammate and have common goals to do future projects. By understanding it, positive team synergy and high-efficiency teamwork can be achieved.  Next, we will try to be more emphatic and mindful to become better support for the team. Besides, emotional intelligence is important too to maintain good mental health by thinking positively and behave positively towards any circumstances in a team.

We will put more enthusiasm into learning new things or discovering new knowledge through online searching and journal reading. Next, work effectiveness will be improved with better self-management such as setting goals and duration on each task.  

Moreover, there must be a need for friendly communication with other teammates despite their races, behaviours and habits. Thus, proper verbal communication will be exercised with less aggressive terms or vulgar behaviours once there are some conflicts in the team or problems faced by teammates. 

With the basic understanding of taxation knowledge as to how tax systems are generally implemented, this unit provides us with the opportunity to apply this knowledge in the future. Also, we believed that we need to learn more about Taxation because the tax code is updated constantly. For example, read up more about the Malaysian Tax System because we will become the taxpayers when we are working and there are differences between Malaysian Taxation and Australian Taxation in terms of rulings and laws. Moreover, by learning Taxation, we will understand the rules such as allowable deduction and taxable income to manage finances well in the future. For example, when it comes to purchasing major expenditures in business, I can take advantage of the system to reduce income tax.

The reason why we lack motivation is that we need to devote more time and effort in our final examination. We found it challenging to find the perfect time to complete this report as we are bombarded by most of our assignments and test in the period of May. 

Each of us have some part time job and we had tight schedule and sometimes juggle different task at once. As a final student, we are expected to focus on Taxation as it carries heavier weightage on final examination. Our academic has been slightly affected due to poor time management.  

Due to Covid-19, everyone is encouraged to stay at home and proceed with online learning. Nevertheless, distractions are everywhere while studying at home like a pet running around while studying.

We know about the tax rules that are constantly updated to meet the current economic situation in Malaysia and Australia. For example, we learned more about how the difference between how the residency work in Malaysia and Australia.

We get to learn taxation in-depth by extra reading on the Australian textbook and the lectures given by the lecturer. The lecturer has effectively taught us by elucidating easy and understandable examples and extra knowledges on textbook.

The second way is to set ranking on tasks. If there are too many tasks or assignments to be done in a short time, we will have to rearrange all the tasks to be completed in a sequence from high priority to low priority after ranking them. It is a good strategy to increase our productivity on finishing all the tasks as the sequence of the ranking reveals our progress of the tasks. Once we finished the task with the highest priority, we will feel relieved and focus on the next task, so it is effective to solve the issues again.

Appropriate learning environment is necessary to avoid distraction from doing work. One of us faces the problem of being lack of passion in doing work after being distracted several times due to the noisy study environment. Hence, we suggest setting a quiet study room or inform family to not disturb while doing works. 

The biggest weakness of the team is the difficulty of completing multiple tasks at a short period of time as everyone in the team faces different situation throughout the semester. Some of us are working and studying at the same time so they feel tired and stressed to handle several works within a short period. Besides, some of us also face difficulties to handle multiple tasks as they will procrastinate a lot to figure out and arrange the tasks orderly. 

According to Ting Ting, she learned that never stop to learn and study is the most essential thing to her as there will be constantly new abilities and techniques to learn and implement. While Farah learned that it is important to have high adaptability skills in life as it is a pertinent skill whilst to pandemic Covid-19. As for Celine, she learned that work-life balancing is crucial. It is a period whereby everyone's lifestyle is impacted by pandemic. As for Juana, adopting a growth mindset, and never be shy to ask question is what matters the most.  Finally, Siew Wen learned that good things do not come easily if we work hard for it. The amount of effort invested in a particular matter is important.

Firstly, we should be teamwork, be helpful and communicate as much as possible. Secondly, different members should showcase their strengths and communicate well with one another to have efficient teamwork. The importance of expectation settings and proper schedule planning is crucial to work backwards from the deadlines to avoid last-minutes work, and proper expectation settings to understand each member's commitment towards the team project and distribute balance number of tasks.
