Work – Life balance

Work - Life balance

There’s no denying that many of us try our best to balance our work with our pleasure. There are many different factors that come into play - like our work assignments or college deadlines, as well as our own personal financial situation, which can make the balance all the more difficult. So, if you are struggling to manage your work with your personal life, here are a few things that you should keep in mind.

Teamworking

Teamworking

Working in a team is a task that you will come across in your life quite often, so it is a serious aspect of most college and working environments. It involves the collaborative harnessing of individuals ideas as you all work towards an agreed goal, or outcome, in an agreed timeframe in order to solve a problem. In order for teams to work efficiently and effectively there needs to be a good understanding of what makes a good team in the first place, and what the different roles can be in a team, and what those roles entail as all members pull together with an agreed agenda and defined outcome.

Self-discipline

Self-discipline

Self-discipline is the act of making sure that you stay motivated, achieve your goals, as well as occasionally, taking action against yourself. Self-discipline can be a difficult thing to teach and learn. After all, it’s purely based around your mindset and the way you’re able to deal with, evaluate and act upon a variety of situations you might find yourself in.

Developing Resilience
