Your Occupational Wellbeing
How do you put things into perspective, derive the most benefit from your various endeavors, and find your “calling”?
If you’re a student, your current “occupation” is your academic life. There are a lot of ways to excel in this area, depending on your personality and learning style. Taking a break from your phone to enable you to really focus, blocking off time for specific tasks, and finding a good study partner can help.
