What I have learned this term

I often feel like I am a constant work in progress, where everything is a learning lesson and sometimes I find it difficult to put it into a time frame as it is rather a continuum. But specifically thinking only about the last term, I think I strongly solidify what I already knew. It is like I have been doing the same thing but from a different perspective. Thinking about it, I think it is learning as well, as I have had the opportunity to learn if I know how to do what I think I know how to do. In the last term, I have had the occasion to put into proactive what I have learned regarding projects. Some big learning from previous projects I tried my best to remember the lessons learned and apply them to the new projects, by actively checking if what I was doing could have been done in a different way. Another thing has been to develop Microsoft Teams, something that I thought would have had a lot more black-and-white situations (people know how to use it, or people do not know how to use it) instead there are many small things that are a bit harder to address that I had not taken into account. I think I learned that going into a project with the assumption of what would happen limited the possibility of the project's outcome. I have also learned that is right to say “I can do it by…” and to prioritise tasks by urgency, rather than trying to squeeze a request on today's agenda just so that people can carry on with their work. I think it has not impacted negatively anyone (that I know of). I think I did not learn something completely new, maybe it was just things I needed to prove as being able to do.
