In analyzing the needs of the workforce, work-life balance is high on the list of issues facing both employers and employees. Balance between work and home lives is sought but rarely happens for long because of work-family conflict. This conflict is also linked with some other bad consequences such as stress; absenteeism; burnout; and dissatisfaction with job, family, and life—all of which can lead to excessive job turnover and the breakup of families. Would you consider flexible scheduling which allowed you to have work-life balance a benefit? Why, or why not? What step would you like to see your current (or previous) employer take to help enhance your own work-life balance? Explain the benefit to both you and the employer.

Prepare
• Visit the Student Support Center (SSC) and explore the resources under the School-Life Balance category for:
o Managing Stress
o Motivation
o Work-Life Balance

Write
In your reflection,
• Share your progress on the goal you set for yourself in the Post Your Introduction forum. What adjustment(s) might you need to make to be more successful? Or, what contributed to your progress?
The last course I took my main goal for the semester was to finish with an A and I would to do the same with this class. Information literacy for me is the ability to evaluate, organize and communicate knowledge. I need to work on time management more in order to finish the course with a passing grade.
• Describe what you have found most enjoyable or interesting to learn about, and what you have found most challenging or stressful.
What I have found most challenging is how much writing this class has required as well as learning a new format of writing such as APA.
• Discuss at least one strategy from the SSC you can implement to help you minimize stress or maintain work-life balance, and one strategy to boost your motivation to successfully complete the Week 5 final project.
One strategy from the SSC I could use is managing stress
Managing Stress (SSC)
Stress is a part of everyday life. Everyone knows what it feels like, but why do so many people react to it differently? The bottom line is that a person’s way of managing stress is based on how they learned how to cope with stress from childhood on through adulthood. When you react to stressful situations in an unhealthy way it can cause insomnia, digestion problems, headaches, memory loss, and high blood pressure, just to name a few.
