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.

You can choose to have a formal or informal one. Formal are those which are in self study, training and workshops. Formal ones are those in which you really have to finish a session such as two months for you to earn a certificate. Or getting into online classes for virtual learning. Taking a second course is also a formal one.

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.

It is advisable to have a fixed time with your work and studies for you to establish a routine. Establishing a routine is the best way for you to keep yourself fast and effective. This is also for you to determine the time in which you really are free and where you can chill and enjoy. A two hour assignment and study time a day is enough.

As much as possible download your articles and print them out so that you can bring it anywhere. Unless you have a tablet or a phone that can show articles. As much as possible avoid reading it thru computer to avoid some temptations such as networking sites and porn. This is for you to keep yourself focused.

Know where to put your work related files and stuff and where to place your school supplies and test sheets. You have to separate both because it might confuse you which is the most common issue encountered by most continuing students. Mixing stuff is not ideal especially if your work and school is somehow identical.

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.

Focus on one work only, one step at a time. If it is time for you to study, the study and never turn your head into something related to your job. If you need to work then never turn on the tablet unless it is break time or you are don with your shift.

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.
