Someone from this class used the SWOT mindtool to summarize their experience with this project. I liked it so much I want to borrow the tool.


Strengths: This project was a good experience for me. I truly needed to begin a journey in finding balance. I learned how to use new technologies and this is always a plus. Meanwhile,I'm feeling good about my plan. In the past, I've tried to do the impossible; set goals that just weren't attainable.


Weaknesses: Perhaps I spent too much time on the technology and interviews. Have you ever experienced a time when you go to one website that leads you to the next good website, then twelve hours later you've learned alot, but you didn't accomplish your task? Next time I need to plan my time more efficiently and minimize the amount of resources I sort through. My eyes are always bigger than my stomach.


Opportunities: This project gave me the time to research a topic that has the potential to change my life positively. It gave me the time to interview people, participate in activities, and read materials that I might not have otherwise taken the time to do; especially given the fact that I'm working full time as a newbie media specialist, taking SLIS classes, and attempting to be a mother and wife. Good news is that I have more resources than I need; it's always good to have spare.

Threats: I truly did not have the time to read all of my resources; honestly I felt as though I have only just begun. I had a hard time conceptualizing what the final product should be.
