If your ideal and real time use are different, think about strategies to protect your time
Time for Self:
Make time for other interests (sports, music, reading, etc.)
Stay healthy (eat right, exercise)
Spend time with friends and family
Make commitments
Lose the Guilt:
Understand limitations, be realistic, expect imperfection
Don’t compare yourself to others
Accept your work style (regular 8-5er or work binger)
Saying “no”:
Never commit immediately. Ask for time to consider.
Is the work something important? Something you care about?
Something that will help you in the future?
Saying “No” enables you to say “Yes” in the future.
When “yes”, then follow through with time, energy, and conviction.
There are numerous strategies to protect your time!
control your vortex of activity:
it feels a lot different when you decide what’s important.
don’t let others’ emergencies determine your day.
be mindful of how much service you sign up for
easy to sign up for too much
actively limit your teaching preparation time. You can’t do everything perfectly
you have the right to say “no” to many things; don’t hesitate
limit your review requests, panels, and talks
choose strategically
while service matters for tenure, you must publish solid research
conserve enough energies for this
Additional considerations when thinking about work-life balance
Being present
Enjoy the moments, appreciate the “now”.
Creating a new life
Become a social organizer! It’s easy to gather a few people for a happy hour out on the town, a game night at your place, or a special TV event (the debates, TV show finale, etc.).
Change of pace
Find alternate places to work besides your home, office, and lab. Look for internet cafes or a park with great picnic tables, etc.
Educate others
Educate family, friends, significant others, and students about your job and your work style. Some may not entirely understand academia or the tenure process or how you in particular are working toward your goals. These people play a very important role in balancing your life so it really helps to have them fully on board!
Communication is effective because it allows individuals to share ideas, thoughts, and information with others.
effective communication can lead to improved outcomes in various settings, including personal relationships, business environments, and educational settings. By communicating effectively, individuals can negotiate effectively, solve problems collaboratively, and work towards common goals.

nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.

I am taking this course because I am hoping that I could somehow learn more about my chosen field of interest and due to the fact that being a PsyD really ignites my passion as an individual the more I hope to learn about developing and literally explore the complexity of my critical thinking skills
