Hi Everyone,
So it’s been a while since my
first post. There is one simple reason for this. Time. There is so little time
in a day when you have so many things to organise. This has been one of my
biggest struggles this week. Making sure I have enough time to complete everything
I have set out to achieve. This week, I didn't achieve everything I wanted too.
My blog suffered from my lack of time skills, which I have learnt a lot about
this week.
Being newly introduced to the
professional world, I have realised, even if you are a small cog in the works
of the grand scheme of things, if you’re not there to keep the machine working,
it all falls apart. The professional world in my opinion is a team full of
interlinking connections that hold it up. This week I saw first-hand what can
happen if one piece is missing, it’s manageable but its hard work for the team
to carry on. But on top of that you also have other commitments such as exams,
second jobs, blogging and life in general. The incident I talk about didn’t
include me but another colleague and I could see the strain that it took on
them throughout the week. It made me reflect on my time skill management that I
have for my place in the professional world. I realised I wasn’t doing
everything I could to stay on top of things. To rectify this, this weekend, I
decided to write everything down, set myself deadlines, made goals and most
importantly to ask for help when I need it. I hope what I have set out this
weekend will help me achieve everything I want to this week. As they say-
‘’By failing to prepare, you
are preparing to fail’’
- Benjamin Franklin (Inc., 2015)
All anyone can do is their best,
with the time they have. I aim to make sure I use every single moment of time
to its full advantage.
Thanks again for reading,
Cassie V.

Management)
