Well done @janedoe2,. I was reminding you to take breaks because of when I studied I would go for 4-5 hrs and not take a break and wonder why I was mentally stuffed. (lol)(don't do what I did,)
Proud of you for passing. Take your time with assess 2 if you have the time line up your sleeve.
Keep intouch and take care.

Good morning @janedoe2, Just checking in to see how you are going?
Remember one step at a time and one subject/unit at a time.
Take care

@janedoe2, I did the same thing a couple of times. How much of a break have you given yourself?
At times I did push myself to get back into it. Is it a subject that you are finding too hard or boring. These two is when I found myself having to push myself.
If it is a subject that is to hard or you are not finding yourself understanding what they are asking for, don't forget that you can check in with your trainer and don't feel silly (as I did) for asking for help. That is what they are there for.
If you do decide to push yourself, only push gently, not too hard.
Keep in touch.

@janedoe2, I think the Stuff that was distracting you is why you were having trouble getting into this subjust and I am glad to hear that has settled.
Great you are reading through everything and not just going on experience and I found that some experience and what you would write as an answer as not what they were looking for. They seem to hide a few tricky one's in there. Gentle push is fine just don't over do it.
Glad to hear you are back on track and I wish you well for this subject. Keep me informed.
Take care.

@janedoe2, it sounds like you have a good grip on your study. Glad to hear you recognize when to push and how hard if at all. I agree, stressors can play a big part on study and things in general in affecting the way we travel along, you recognized that and did what worked for you to move forward.
Excel speadsheets, I struggled only because I had never used them before, glad you have experienced them before and use that to your advantage to be able to get it done quicker leaving time for other subjects that need may need longer.
Great to hear from you and the progress you are making sound wonderful.
Take care and remember to take breaks when needed.😀
