Management Tips For Continuing Education Students

By Leticia Jensen


Finishing a baccalaureate degree is not an assurance that you will be getting a job related to it. Sometimes we fall into a different path and we realize that we really are good at it. This is why others are taking continuing education for substance abuse counselors because they think that they really are destine to guide these poor souls.

You can choose to have a formal or informal one. Formal are those which are in self study, training and workshops. Formal ones are those in which you really have to finish a session such as two months for you to earn a certificate. Or getting into online classes for virtual learning. Taking a second course is also a formal one.

But getting into such activity is a bit crucial because you are both studying and working so without proper organization such as time management. You will be creating a mess that can no longer be fixed. So in this case, you should know some ways on how to keep yourself organized even if you are very busy and do not have leisure moment.

It is advisable to have a fixed time with your work and studies for you to establish a routine. Establishing a routine is the best way for you to keep yourself fast and effective. This is also for you to determine the time in which you really are free and where you can chill and enjoy. A two hour assignment and study time a day is enough.

Well, having a tablet is ideal especially if you want to study anywhere any moment and make every moment useful. But this is not a requirement it is only an option, well you can just simply print them out and then everything will just run smoothly. You can use them when you are riding the taxi or train going to school. You can be very flexible with it.

Have an official working space in your room. There you will be placing everything that is related to your work and separate it to the place of your study where you put all your school stuff. This is one of the common problems faced by continuing students. They tend to mix their work and school stuff. Having separate places is ideal.

You need to buy yourself a planner if you still do not believe that they are effective. If you think they are not effective at least buy something where you can take down notes all your present and upcoming activities for you to keep yourself guided and for you to have control of your time and pleasure. Both factors go together sometimes and the result is always waste.

Focus on one work only, one step at a time. If it is time for you to study, the study and never turn your head into something related to your job. If you need to work then never turn on the tablet unless it is break time or you are don with your shift.

Undergoing further education for substance abuse counselors can be very tiring. But if you really think that you are destined in this work, then you have to be determined enough to face all of those difficulties.
