REFLECTION
It is necessary to work on certain set of skills in order to achieve success in higher studies.
When I studied in higher secondary it was important for me to analyse all the skills in which I
am lacking and then work on those skills efficiently. After self-analysis over a number of times I
came to know that there were three major skills on which I need to work upon. These skills were
self-organisation skill, time management skills, research skills. There were a number of ways to
make sure that I am good in the skills and I can succeed in higher education with help of various
external help in order to improve these skills.
The first skill on which I need to work upon was self-organisation skills. It is necessary to
have self organisation skills so that I can overall manage all the task and activities related to my
education. There were a number of ways through which I worked upon myself organisational
skills. Some of these required external helps while other skills were developed by my hard work
and efforts. All that I did in order to improve their skills included making a list, preparing a
schedule for every task which I needed to do along with the time required for task. I also made
sure that I minimise the interruptions while of work. This included turning of my cell phone,
making sure that I avoid useless meetings and also close the door of the room while working. All
these small steps help me in making sure that I could efficiently work on my self-organisation
skills. I also made sure that I start early in the day. It made me more active and also helped me in
getting the most out of the day. I also learnt various digital skills which helped me in storing
everything regarding my work in a proper place and in a proper system. This was the best way in
which I increased my self-organisation skills.
After development of self-organisation skills I came to know that I also need to work on
time management skills. There were a number of ways adopted by me in order to increase time

management skills. The first and foremost affect was to make a schedule and also stick to that
schedule. It was important to make sure that I stick to that to schedule so that I do not lag behind
in any of my work, classes, assignments or any such activity related to higher education. It was
also necessary to prioritise my work. It helps in making the work easy. Along with it it is
required to set some boundaries. These boundaries include setting time goals for every task,
communicating less with people so that there are no waste of time. It was also required to take
some tech help which boost the productivity and make sure that the time which is incorporated in
our work brings out the best results.
The third skills I worked upon was research skills. While gaining higher education it is
important for every student to conduct some research. In order to conduct the research
successfully there were a number of skills regarding research to be developed. I made sure that I
develop these skills so that I can do the best in my research. I took help of professors in order to
develop research skills, along with it I made sure that I use a lot of medium to collect secondary
data in order to collect the most effective and relevant data from researchers. There were a
number of studies done by me in order to make sure that I am aware about all the different types
of researches and various methods to collect the data efficiently. All this helped me in
developing my research skills.

With the help of above reflection it can be clearly understood that there are a number of
skills required by every individual in order to succeed in higher education. There are also a
number of ways to improve those skills by working on them and also taking external help which
