Introduction
Let’s get started! It’s time to examine how you manage your time. Balancing your study, work and life is an important skill for career success.
Pathways Planning Learning
- Complete the work/life balance evaluation activity
- Add any other responsibilities
- Reflect on your work/life balance. Ask yourself some questions about how and on what you spend your time each day. Too much work? Too much play?
- Draw up a weekly timetable/schedule and set priorities
- Are you spending more time on the things you like or are more interested in doing? Is there a trend?
- Make a plan to complete this R unit within 8 weeks
- Investigate R units or other opportunities offered outside of college that will further develop your knowledge and skills for your future career.
Reflection
Email this module to your career practitioner to let them know that you have commenced this R unit. Have you made an appointment with your career practitioner? You may like to invite a friend to attend with you. Reflect upon your work/life balance and how planning can have a positive impact on your success at college.
