Organization Tips For Continuing Students

By Leticia Jensen


For you to become a counselor, you should have finished an undergrad course like psychology, sociology and other related courses. This is very important because if you do not know how to handle a person then surely you will just worsen the case. But even if you already finished a degree, job is still different and this is why you need to undergo continuing education for substance abuse counselors.

Further education is something that can be taken formally and informally. It is something that someone takes after she graduated a baccalaureate degree. This can be somehow important depending on what you are really into. For example if you are working as photographer, the you need to study for photography.

Yes, it is hard to study at the same time work but it will not be hard if your work and studies are related. But sometimes we need to separate both to avoid messing with them. This is why you need to be knowledgeable on how to organize things and time that will suit to the type of lifestyle you are currently suffering.

A fixed time can be ideal to have a routine work and study habits. If you are working as an employee surely you have fixed schedules unless you have some changes of shifts. But as a freelance, you need to set a momentwhen to work and study to create your body clock. Once your body clock is made then everything will just follow as if the day cannot be completed without it.

If you have a tablet, then it is ideal to download all your studying materials or ask for a copy of the powerpoint presentation from your teacher if they will allow. If you do not have a tab then print them out for portability. A time that you will be waiting for your turn in a cashier can be useful to finish at least one to two pages of a print out.

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.

If you think that planners does not work then think again. Without it you will tend to forget things, you will tend to mix things, and you will tend you confuse things. So it would be better to have it for you to know that you can have some time for such activity or not. This is also for you to be able to check if you have done the task yet or not.

You need to stay focused. If it is the time for your school, never lend your senses to you work. If you are in your work do not attempt to open your notes. Do everything one at a time because focus is the most important thing when you are committed.

Continuing education for guidance counselors are very important because in this way they can guide their patients more effectively than the usual. And they can already know what to do for worst case scenarios.
