Reflection using Gibbs- Reflective Cycle

This week i have been developing my research for my WBL project and my Cool Britannia project. I have been researching into my two different themes and have researched into the types of people i will be designing my ranges for. I have begun to develop my research and start drawing and creating samples inspired by the research i have done. I have not had any negotiations or discussions with any of my tutors as this time has been self directed study.
I have been thinking about how important these two projects are and have been driven to work long hours to get the quality of work that i want.
I have completed most of my research and feel that it has given me plenty of inspiration for my designs for my collections.
I enjoyed working on these projects as i feel like i am learning and developing my skills on both the computer and by hand. The only bad thing about my experiences this week is that i have spent no time with my friends or family and am starting to feel guilty that i am spending so much time on my own. I think i need to allocate my time with my family better and put my work away so i am not tempted to pick it up and continue with it.
I have found that i am spending too much time on certain projects and need to spread my time out in a better way.
I couldn’t really have spent anymore time on my work this week as i only stopped to eat but i could have allocated more time to my family as i now feel like i should spend the whole weekend with them. If this situation arose again i would draw up a plan of my free time in the week and allocate it better. I would then stick to this routine that i had written down.
