5- V  Agency- Do you have it or not?

Agency –

Agency is the extent to which people have the ability to perform in life.  In my opinion every person will have a different agency.  I think that one’s agency comes from their own desire to succeed, willpower, and determination to get what they want out of life.  If you have the willpower and self control to help you accomplish what you want, then you will succeed.  If you do not have the willpower and drive to push yourself to succeed then your agency will be significantly diminished.

Propulsion –

Propulsion is the act of driving, pushing, or propelling forward.  I believe this applies to how you go about setting and achieving goals for yourself.  You must have a cause for propulsion.  There are situations that are important, that you may find you really need to set your mind to something in order to get it done.  The act of pushing yourself forward to get something accomplished is similar to being motivated.  If you are motivated to get something accomplished then it is much easier to push yourself harder to achieve your goals.

Framework –Framework is a system of support for something that is being set up.  I learned from my reading about notetaking how important it is to organize your important information within a framework.  The reading speaks of The Story Telling Method.   

“The Story Telling Method has an important benefit: it takes the large volume of information you just received and organizes it within a coherent framework. Not surprisingly, this makes it much easier to retain this information.”

I agree with this method and think it may be something I may try, as it does seem like it would be easier to have all your information organized, so it is not so overwhelming, when you have to go through it all to study.
