Group Blog

For my commercial project I have chosen to work alone. Instead for possibly jeopardizing my project I have decided this. In this position I am the only one responsible for my grade and effort. When I have previously worked in a group there is always one person who does not do the work and others must pick up their slack. Further, relaying on others for vital information to complete tasks can frustrating when I am let down. This is unfair to the whole group and overall it is our groups fault for allowing that person in. I believe it is easier to excuse my vision myself because others cannot imagine or may not understand it, so it will become difficult for it to happen. To avoid my idea from not becoming executed it is better for me to work solo. For this project I must plan correct and complete my storyboard, I am sure I could complete my project in the same time a group could. To plan for this project I am going to write all my tasks down and organize them in order. This is a positive thing when working alone because now I will have more time management control. Also, to work alone allows for a reduction for distractions. It might sound boring; however, I tend to find happiness in my own silence and laugh often. Often working in a group can cause me stress from managing others and having to do constant check-ins. It sometimes side tracks me from my work and then I must work the double amount and race to complete the assignment. In addition working with others cause me to feel obligated to to not take breaks or relax for a little in fear of others saying something bad. It will just make me more relaxed and productive to work solitary. Conflict will less likely to happen and social relationships can be preserved in addition. In groups many classmates tend to disagree leading to broken friendships which is distracting and takes away from the work. Another thing is due to peer-pressure my ideas might not even be able to be considered and can cause my self-esteem to lower. In the end I believe working unaccompanied is the best option for me to work at my full potential.
