Lif Life Balance: The Seven Habits Profile

I am performing my occupation on routine basis, but before occupational analysis activity assignment I never pay attention for my life cycle and how much time I am spending behind my daily routine tasks. This assignment helps me a lot to organize myself and learn about the time management. Poor time management skills can lead to anxiety, depression, procrastination, frustration, anger, and diminished interpersonal, and occupational interaction (Marcil,2007). From occupational analysis question one pie chart (figure1) about the activity differentiation, I found that education and performing ADLs was two of my major occupations, I am spent most of the time in these two occupations. Also, I found that work and IADLs were my next two priorities for occupations and I spent very less time for play, leisure and socialization. I believe, as a student I have to spend about fifty percent of my time for study and less time for ADL and work. Also, I found that my daily routine pattern was unbalance because of lack of sleep and less time for play, leisure. The insight I found form question two activity analysis pie chart(figure.2) that I performed most of routine occupations with energetically even though there was not balanced in real life. I believe that not all days are same for everybody, my mood changes based on environment, workload, and priorities. Some time when I come from school or work I feel lethargic and I don’t like to do anything, but my insight always encourages me to perform if I have any assignment due or exams on next day. The insight that I gains about the relationship between studies, ADLs, work, IADLs, play, leisure, and sleep/rest are not balance. I know that ADLs, IADLs, and work are important tasks of daily living; I need some personal time for play, leisure and sleep/rest time that keeps me away from burnout and becoming ill. The secret of

Ha! Who would?ve thought that I of all people would be blogging about work life balance. I constantly feel as though I have a million things on my plate and that I?m struggling to keep up. Through my participation in clubs, work, and school, my mind is constantly worrying about something. My go-go-go mentality has been like this for about a year now, and I need a change ASAP. It?s to the point where I?m sacrificing my own mental sanity for my jobs and schoolwork.

One area of my life that currently is in balance is my College education. The actions that I take to maintain the balance is to make sure I get enough sleep, eat and take breaks to relax if I feel overwhelmed. And I do not wait until the last minute to study or do coursework.

1.) The concept that I have acquired and would like to discuss is the emotional bank account. The emotional bank account is similar to a financial institutions bank account. In an emotional bank account, these transactions are done in our minds not on a physical ledger. An emotional deposit could be characterized as an act of courtesy, honesty, always keeping commitments or an act of kindness. These deposits like a bank deposit add to the balance. A withdrawal can occur just like in a financial institution taking away from your reserve balance. An emotional withdrawal could be anything from being disrespectful, ignoring someone,

Balancing life is a tough thing to do. Balance is often very stressful, and getting everything to balance perfectly is nearly impossible. Has there ever been two major pieces of your life that you have trouble balancing? Almost everyone at some point in their lives has experienced the problem of balance in day to day life. Balance for myself is very hard to come by. Hockey and school take up copious amounts of time, and finding that happy medium takes time. I believe that balance between two things in one's life can be obtained, but will not happen in the blink of an eye.

After researching my strengths, weaknesses, and all of the categories of The Seven Habits Profile, I am confident I can use this information as an opportunity to grow on skills as both a leader in work and in my personal life. In reviewing my results, I was disappointed that I did not score higher in some categories that I was confident I was strong at. On the other hand, I was surprised to score so high on a few. I feel the results of this profile show that I am a strong leader with plenty of room to grow.

I control the areas of life that I can and do not dwell on the things that I cannot control. These two categories work together to keep me goal oriented. Life Balance helps me stay realistic when I set goals and evaluate my progress and the way I spend my time. Being Proactive keeps me accountable for the goals that I set. For example, now that I have begun graduate school, these two areas are a big part of my life. As a working professional, I must balance my work responsibilities, school responsibilities, and personal life. I often plan my time in specific blocks to dedicate appropriate amounts of time and energy to all areas of my life. As a teacher, the to-do list is never finished. It is easy for teachers to spend most of their time both at work and at home completing their work tasks. I have made it a point to complete as much grading and planning as I can during my work hours and save the rest for the next day. During my hours at home, I have planned specific times to work on graduate courses that will not interfere with my home life. I study and complete school work on evenings that my husband is working so that we can spend time together when neither of us are

The feedback did not contain information indicating how scores were reached or how to improve. Granted, I will be meeting with my supervisor to discuss the 7 Habits survey, although a different assessment available is called the Strength Development Inventory, SDI. This is a direct assessment between the individual and supervisor and provides a realistic assessment of how the employee believes they are performing and how the supervisor observes them behaving. While this is similar to the 7 Habits survey, I personally prefer the

The first category measure in the profile sheet is the “Emotional bank account”, which is Covey’s representation of the emotional units that can be deposited or withdrawn in our relationship with others. My score in this category was 12 out of 18 possible points. This score places me slightly above average, which means I keep a very small balance in my emotional bank account. As a leader, I need to do a better job at keeping a higher balance between my emotional deposits and withdrawals by, for example, apologizing more often when I make a mistake, and offend a friend or colleague, including my own subordinates.

There are ways people balance themselves differently than I do. My first priority is financial. I try to mange money wisely when it comes to pay bills. This can help me relieve the stress of not working long hours or overtime and it gives me time to spend with my children and with school work. Part of my daily routine is dividing my self in twenty pieces. I woke up at 4 am to start working on my schoolwork. Then I wake up the kids to get ready to go to school and daycare. By 6:30am we all are heading out the door to our

Finally, work/life balance is an area of weakness. Similar to above, I let work outweigh important personal events. If I am working on a project, I will neglect spending time with family. It could be a small cookout or a major get together. I chose to complete work tasks before I spend personal time with others. I

Victims are a central component when it comes to crime. Unbeknownst to some, but crime offenders chooses their victims based on various demographics known as risk factors. The majority of the time, the offender and the victim share certain demographics, whether that be location and/or race. This topic of victimization has brought forth many theories that help shine some light on what offenders look for in their future victims based on lifestyles and demographics. The leading theories include the Routine Activities Theory and the interchangeable Lifestyle Theory. This paper will examine which risk factors and lifestyles contribute to a heightened rate in becoming a victim and offender of crime.

It has been a challenge to balance all the areas of my life since I became an online student. Each day, I struggle to balance my full-time job, my personal life, and my schoolwork. I work as a supervisor’ Aid at parkland Hospital. Monday through Friday, I leave at 8:00pm to make the hour and ten minute commute from my home so I can be on time. My job is multifaceted. I over bed tracking while make room intake for their patients, nursery, L&D recovery, and L&D delivery. Most of my job, though, is focused on administrative duties. With all these responsibilities, my work day is a full, and I often don’t have time to take a break before it is 6:30am and I begin my commute home. Even though my workday responsibilities are done, my weekday responsibilities often make me feel as though my day has barely started. I have two teenaged son 13and 15, so I spend much of my morning getting out to school, dispensing advice, helping with pick out clothes , and occasionally providing a shoulder to cry on. Our dogs, cheese, poppy, Daisy also needs attention. I start my dinner early so that I can rest for work every night the whole family by 7 PM, after cooking I am responsible for cleaning the house. As if this weren’t enough, I am responsible, I pay bills, and I must also complete my coursework. Though I like my job, I would like to help animals, and I love helping people. So, I enrolled in Penn Foster’s Veterinary Technician program. I find it very hard to complete schoolwork and my other

(Hill et al cited in Sarker, Xiao, Sarker & Ahuja, 2012).

As my day starts at 7:00 AM every morning I am reminded of everything that needs to be done during the day there are never enough hours to get everything done. These are the days that I wonder if I have what it takes to be all of the things I need to be to everyone who depends on me as a mother,wife,career woman,sister,friend and now a college student. My three children are not young so they do not need daycare or every single minute of my free time anymore. However, they are busy,athletic,social butterflies who keep me on the go all the time. It is a hard but possible journey to be a successful student while balancing my time with a career and family.
