I left HSBC at the end of January to study in Australia. I like the job. It’s truely a great place to work. But back then studying abroad had been sort of my dream for years, which was why I took IELTS tests. I flew to Brisbane on 1 Feburary alone. But after two months there, I started to miss my family in China. I thought about bringing my family to Australia.

I’m gonna be honest. Sometimes my performance is far from good. Terrible, I mean. However, this won’t prevent me from sharing my practice to maintain performance. I think it is helpful. My practice includes keeping work log and self assessment. Work log Make a DONE list for everyday. Be brief. Self assessment How did I do today? Rate today’s work on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the most productive/constructive/fruitful, and 1 the least.
