One thing that we talked about in class was the threshold of dysfunction. I liked this idea because I've seen example of it in my own life. The threshold of dysfunction is where you have a lot of things that need to be done which all take a certain amount of energy to do. So then you start acting dysfunctionally because of all the things that need to get done in your threshold. When this happens you don't get things done effectively and sometimes you don't even get them done at all. Like Bro. Adams was saying, this happens a lot around midterm time. Papers are due, tests need to be taken, plus all our normal activities. I think that one way we can improve so that we don't start acting dysfunctionally is by not procrastinating. Also a way to improve this is to higher our threshold so that we can functionally handle more tasks.
