Learn to write a self-assessment

In my case, it allows me to re-examine my achievements and performances in all aspects of my life.

This is a great way to prevent eye strain as we often forget to rest our eyes.

E.g.

I hope I could be able to attend the meeting, but I had deadlines.

I hope I could be able to attend the meeting (pause). I had deadlines.

The first sentence sounds like an excuse in a smooth way. The second sentence has more emphasizing the decision.
