Welcome to todays lecture on how to find time for yourself. To begin with one question: Do you ever find yourse

14、lf longing for some time for yourself? Many of us are so busy with work, school, and home life that often there is no time left over to do something that you enjoy. What follows are some ways to carve out that essential time you need to slow down, enjoy life, and rejuvenate yourself. For one thing,

15、scheduling time for yourself. One, evenings with yourself. Try to save certain weeknights just for you. If others ask you to do things those nights, just tell them you have plans. Use the time for gardening, reading, exercise, thinking, or the ultimate luxury of doing nothing! Two, monthly treat. Sc

16、hedule a treat for yourself once a month. It could be on your lunch break, a weekend, or it could be leaving work early. Maybe you get a spa treatment, go see a movie, get a haircut, play golf, or whatever treat youre always thinking about but rarely get to do. Schedule it in and it will happen! Thr

17、ee, buy tickets in advance. Sports, theater, concerts, or any other event you would enjoy. Schedule the plans with a friend later. Having the tickets already in hand will force you to make it happen! Four, leave work on time. Huh? Yes, many of us stay at work late on a regular basis. If this is you,

18、 make it a point to leave work exactly on time at least once a week, if not more. And then enjoy that time! Leave work at work. Five, join a group. Here are some ideas of groups that can allow you some time away from work and home: a singing group, gardening group, astronomy society, book club, quil

19、ting or any other craft circle, biking or walking or running clubs, ski club, etc. What are you interested in? Strike while the iron is hot. Look up a club in your area today and join! If you cant find a club, consider starting one yourself! Six, take an adult education class. Take a fun class. If a

20、ccounting is fun for you, then go ahead. If not, then think about some of these things: foreign language, photography, art, creative writing, or sports, like archery, golf and yoga. Belly-dancing anyone? Seven, exercise. For busy people it can be difficult to make time for this. But in fact you can

21、do it! A11 you have to do is decide today and then make it a reality tomorrow. A new habit is started with just one step. Take that first step tomorrow. Walk for 20 minutes in the morning. And then build on that success daily. Vary how you spend that time. On some days use the time for thinking and

22、daydreaming. Other days listen to motivational audio and on days you want a real boost, listen to your favorite music! Here are a couple travel audio books you could borrow from your local library that will take you on a journey to a foreign land while you are walking or jogging: “Holy Cow: An India

23、n Adventure“ by Sarah MacDonald or “The Places in Between“ by Rory Stewart. If youve been exercising for a while and you usually listen to music, try to go without any input for a change. Instead, let your mind wander and expand. Then, keeping yourself on the go. One, commute via public transportati

24、on. If you can, ditch your car, and let someone else do the driving. Use that time to plan your day, do some reading, writing, creative thinking, or even meditation. Two, driving in your car. Make the most of this time. Vary how you spend that time. If you always listen to music, perhaps also try: e

25、ducational radio, positive audio tapes or even totally quiet time. Use that quiet time for brain storming. Either think in your head or even talk your ideas out loud. Bring a voice recorder. You could write a book via voice recorder over time. Three, waiting in the car. If you find that you have a c

26、ertain amount of “waiting time“ in your life, change how you perceive it. Instead of “waiting time“ you can instantly change it into “me time“ by bringing along reading, writing, or entertainment items. Or if you find yourself waiting and you dont have any of these things use the time for creative t

27、hinking about your life or try some meditation. Lastly, trying to be in synergy. One, two birds, one stone. Look for ideas where you can fit in time for you within things you need to do already or that will have multiple benefits. See the ideas below to give you an idea Two, walk to work. This is a

28、great one because youre accomplishing many things at once. Youre getting exercise, you have time to think or enjoy music, and youre helping to save the environment. Three, arrive early. Any appointment that you have, plan to arrive 15-30 minutes early. Then use this time for you: reading, writing, m

29、editation, relaxation, thinking, whatever. Four, volunteering. There are so many benefits with this. You make a difference for others, you escape work and personal worries, and you grow as a person. If you could help one organization or group, which would it be? OK, now go ahead and Google them and

30、find out how you can help even if its just once a year. Five, side job. Find a side job at which you can make money, but that will also allow you to do something you love. Some ideas: coaching, teaching a class, or training others. Six, lunch alone. Try sneaking away for a quiet lunch alone on a par

31、k bench or even in your car. Enjoy some quiet time with no one to talk to and no audio inputs. To summarize, weve covered three factors to consider in finding time for yourself.

38、 In todays lecture, I will talk about the skills required to get a good job. Well, it is true that now competition for employment is more so than ever. So it begs the obvious question, how do you stand out? There will be three main points I will be discussing. They are academic, personal management,

39、 and teamwork skills. I will give you examples of these skills, and reasons why these skills are important for you to get a job. First of all, academic skills. Academic skills are probably the most important skill you will need to get a job. It is one of the or the first thing an employer looks for

40、in an employee. They are skills which give you the basic foundation to acquire, hold on to, and advance in a job, and to achieve the best results. Academic skills can be further divided into three sub-groups: communication, thinking, and learning skills. Communication skills require you to understan

41、d and speak the languages in which business is conducted. You must be a good listener, and be able to understand things easily. One of the most important communicating skills should be reading. You should be able to comprehend and use written materials including things such as graphs, charts, and di

42、splays. One of the newest things we can add to communicating skills would be the Internet, since it is so widely used all around the world, and hence you should have a good understanding of what it is and how to use it. Then, thinking skills. Thinking critically and acting logically to evaluate situ

43、ations will get you far in your job. Thinking skills consist of things such as solving mathematical problems, using new technology, instruments, tools, and information systems effectively. Some examples of these would be technology, physical science, the arts, skilled trades, social science, and muc

44、h more. After that, learning is very important for any job. For example, if your company gets some new software, you must be able to learn how to use it quickly and effectively after a few tutorials. You must continue doing this for the rest of your career. It is one thing that will always be useful

45、 in any situation, not just jobs. The second major job skill I want to discuss is management skills. Personal management skill is the combination of attitudes, skills, and behaviors required to get, keep, and progress on a job and to achieve the best results. Personal management skills can be furthe

46、r divided into three sub-groups just as academic skills, which are positive attitudes and behaviors, responsibility, and adaptability. Positive attitudes and behaviors are also very important to keep a job. You must have good self-esteem and confidence in yourself. You must be honest, have integrity

47、, and personal ethics. You must show your employer you are happy at what you are doing and have positive attitudes toward learning, growth, and personal health. Show energy and persistence to get the job done, these can help you to get promoted or a raise. Responsibility and adaptability are also es

48、sential. Responsibility is the ability to set goals and priorities in work and personal life. It is the ability to plan and manage time, money, and other resources to achieve goals, and accountability for actions taken. While adaptability means having a positive attitude toward changes in your job, and recognition of respect for peoples diversity and individual differences. Creativity is also important. You must have the ability to identify and suggest n
