Discussion: Balancing Priorities<\/p>\n
Often there are more than words or online imagery in your workspace\u2014it might be children or pets or roommates or spouses. It might at times seem like you have information overload\u2014as if you were standing in the middle of Times Square, New York, or Piccadilly Circus, London. Even the most focused and dedicated student can be easily distracted.<\/p>\n
Often when focusing on one task, you lose track of others. That is why it is important to have a plan for stepping out of your other roles and into your new role as student. Don\u2019t be tugged by online distractions\u2014keep your place. Staying focused is a professional competency.<\/p>\n
You all have multiple roles in life, and maybe \u201cstudent\u201d is a new role for you. Being engaged in the work requires you to plan, prioritize and create a space where learning takes place; to combat a feeling of selfishness that you might feel.<\/p>\n
