The most useful thing I’ve learned in this module is the information on “Managing Stress” on slide 21. It gives a lot of helpful recommendations for managing stress that I definitely plan on taking away from this course. The most interesting tip in the list is “making time to enjoy being with friends” this I’m seeing more and more how beneficial it is because I have the tendency to work on assignments all day and try to get everything done in one sitting and get ahead and then when it comes time to hang out with people I’ve been in the zone all day and I just feel out of it. So taking breaks to spend time with friends is important and has definitely helped me! Something that I’ve already put in to practice is the tips on slide 24 for relaxation. The link on relaxing stretching workout for stiff muscles and stress relief has been helpful in reducing stress during this module and I plan to use it in the future. Some things I could put into practice in the future is the information on slide 34 of “the importance of honest self-assessment” self-reflection is vital in evaluating what things are working and what aren’t in our productivity and management of time and this is something that I don’t do nearly as much and would like to start doing more. I will do this by setting a reminder on my phone to have a time set aside 1 day a week to reflect on the past week and what I’ve been doing and how I’ve been using my time and the tools that I’ve been using. Some advice I would give to students would be to exercise regularly to reduce stress, this is something I’ve been doing for awhile and helps me to manage stress and maintain balance in my life amongst the busy schedule that I have. It keeps me sane and gives me energy throughout the day to stay alert and focused on tasks and its also good for you!
