Pacing Obstacles
1. No/Slow Internet Connection due to bad weather condition
● When having internet difficulties, I should have my mobile data as back up.
● If both are not available, I will wait for the good weather and double my time
working.

2. Inevitable Circumstances
● We cannot avoid those circumstances. We cannot tell when it will happen. For
me to overcome that obstacles, do not procrastinate. Do things that you can do as
early as possible.
● That inevitable circumstances are happening now, my step-mom is sick and she
needs attention from us. She cannot walk by herself and needs an operation in
her spinal cord. What I am doing now to finish my work assignments, if possible
do advance work for next week. And downloaded Microsoft office apps so that If
I am at the hospital I can work and finished the assigned tasks.

3. Laziness
● Mind setting. I will set my mind that I have to work out even just for 30 minutes
● Do the reward system to motivate myself.

4. Too many deadlines in school and in BYU-Pathway

● In this case, I have to sacrifice my time to rest or sleep in order to catch up my
work loads.
