Essay / The Importance of Well-being at Work - 839
The author should start by setting measurable goals for each area of well-being. For example, well-being at work can be improved by maintaining a healthy work-life balance. The author should discuss obtaining a fixed schedule and limited work hours. Specifically, the schedule set by the author involves working three times a week while working only on weekends and limiting work to a maximum of 25 hours per week while being a full-time student. Another way to develop well-being at work is to learn to assess strengths and weaknesses. To assess strengths and weaknesses, the author should write in a notebook after each shift for ten minutes and reflect on what went well and poorly during the shift. Intellectual well-being can be established by keeping abreast of current events. To keep up with the news, the author can watch the news for 30 minutes Monday through Thursday morning before class. Another strategy is to develop new skills. During the year, the author might decide to major in psychology or nutrition to broaden their education and perspectives. The following semester, the author could add two prerequisites for the minor to his schedule. Finally, nutrition can be improved in different ways, such as eating breakfast three or more times a week for the next month. Nutrition can also be improved by drinking at least 3 glasses of water daily for the next two months. Carrying a water bottle will help the author achieve this goal. With these small adjustments, life can make a difference on a personal but also professional level.
