I’ve made a basic record of what I do with my time the past week. It’s pretty riveting.

I’ve recently taken a test in how much grit I have comparative to people like me and have found that with a grit score of 3.88 I have an above average amount of grit. This makes sense in that I finish anything that I have put time into even if was something that has been on my to do list for months, I am determined not to let myself become lax in my discipline. To further this grit I could go above and beyond by increasing the rate at which I work on projects. if interested in taking this quiz here’s a link https://sasupenn.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_06f6QSOS2pZW9qR.
