Let’s Talk About Self Care

In late August, I’ll be doing a presentation on productivity and time management for my best friend Gayle’s current student cohort.

Some of that presentation is just standard stuff I always talk to students about. Use a calendar, keep a list of projects and tasks, schedule what’s important. Usual productivity and time management stuff. But, I’ve been thinking that I need to add a talk about self-care to my normal spiel.

This morning, I got to take my four-legged friend Hugo for a walk. Hugo belongs to friends but he is staying with me while they are enjoying some time away. The photo is from his last visit with me. Since my Peloton buds have talked me into doing not one, but two different and very complicated challenges to end the summer, every mile counts right now. So, while Hugo and I were walking I put a 20 minute fun walk by Robin Arzon on. The title of today’s article, came from Robin in that walk. She always has great lines that I love to incorporate into my arsenal of great phrases.

After hearing Robin say this, I decided this is the central theme I want to share with Gayle’s students. I thought I’d test the bullets around the theme with all of you.

What would you add to the message for new traditional age college students? What did I get wrong?
