Study Task 3 - Who do I want to be?

 What I believe to be my S.W.O.T.:

What my peer (Halli) believe to be my S.W.O.T.:

I realized I seem to either overthink or rush the planning/preproduction stage, so I need to find a balance. There needs to be a time for planning and a time for action, and I think only experience will help me find that balance... The modules in the course should give me some trial ground to experiment with how best to plan my time. Maybe I should take on a bullet journal too. 

I also feel I need to push myself to network more and get out there, I can do this by going to events like MAF, but also event that are outside the course like the London International Animation Festival
