I worked on my consistency skills today.
I began the
day’s tasks with my email. I checked my recent messages and moved onto the real
deal. When Sylvia came in, I listened to her speak. She told me my daily tasks
as I wrote them down. I was going to work on a future garden event, create a
flyer, and work with my networking skills. I began as soon as we concluded the
talk.
I began on
the event for Cadillac Urban Gardens. There was going to be a clean-up of the
vegetables in the bins, and I had to make an event for the calendar. I sent
this event to many of the people who are associated with the garden such as
local residents and helpful community organizations. I was glad to work out the
logistics of this event and continued on the other tasks.
Then, I
worked on my networking skills. Sylvia wanted me to pick three major mentors
outside of The Ideal Group. Once I picked them, I was going to send them a
reminder of my presence. I thought of the possible ways I could communicate
with them like: sending them a personal letter of current events, emailing them
a list of future events, or asking them about their profession. I chose to send
them an email of the coming event in Cadillac Urban Gardens. Now I wait for a response…
Finally, I began
work on the flyer for the upcoming event in the garden. For the clean-up, I had
to specify the time, location, and any side notes on the flyer. I had all the information, but the hard part
was staying consistent. I worked on the font and size of the text. Then, I worked
on the text itself. I asked for help from Amanda and Sylvia to revise and give
suggestions on the words I chose. I had to revise the flyer about six times and
redo most of the text. I learned that I should get the message out but with the
least amount of word used possible. Concise
and Consistent, as I now say.
I worked on
small tasks for the rest of the day and finished the day with many tips on how
to be consistent. I really appreciated the help from Sylvia and Amanda.
