Chapter 7 Blog 2- Micropractices

Chapter 7 Concept 2

The second concept for Chapter 2 that I chose to blog about is micropractices, which refer to the moment to moment behaviors, actions and communication messages that we use to being ourselves into being in everyday life. Micropractices seem like a fancy word for daily routine. Having a daily routine is a great way for us to keep organized and motivated. If you set mini goals for things you wish to accomplish on a day to day basis you are more likely to keep focused on your daily tasks. I am very systematic in the sense that I conduct my daily business in a certain way. This is thanks to my dad. Growing up, my father has always been known for saying “get a system”. He is made fun of for this phrase and his tone when he says it. Every time my siblings and I would forget to do something important he would look at us in the same way every time and say “get a system”. After learning about micropractices and thinking about how beneficial they are in being a success at organizational communication, I now realize that my dad was trying to teach us how to become more efficient as we got older. It certainly paid off now that I am 25 and on my own. I live by a certain set of micropractices that help be to be a better student, fiancé, professional and mom to my puppy! J
