psych-facts: You can not actually multitask What research suggests is that we are actually switching back and forth between the demands of the tasks rather than actually simultaneously doing all the tasks. If the tasks require the concurrent sensory input, processing or motor functions, we have to divide our abilities up or split our attention.  An instance of two tasks that require the same sensory inputs is when we try to imagine seeing something in the head and seeing what is in front of us.  In the source article (below), it also indicates that multitasking reduces ability to organize and store information, and people who engage in multitasking actually becomes more prone to distractions.  Source FaceBook Page for More Interesting Psychology Facts and Quotes!

Are You Living In Sync With Your Values?

By 

cu-core-values

Take this quiz to see how well you are living in sync with your values.
  1. I have spent time clarifying my values and can easily articulate them.
  2. My values are my own. I have not simply adopted them from parents, teachers or other outside influences.
  3. I based my choice of occupation on my deepest values.
  4. My values are in alignment with the company I work for (or own).
  5. My business associates and I regularly examine how we are living up to our values and mission.
  6. I turn down money-making or status-building opportunities when they conflict with my values.
  7. In resolving disputes at work, I look beneath the apparent problem to see if values are being dishonored, and then I seek ways to honor them.
  8. Anyone looking at my life from the outside would see what I value.
  9. I use my values as a guidepost for making decisions. I ask if a particular choice would bring me closer to—or further from—a core value.
  10. When I feel upset, it’s almost always because my values are being trampled—either by me, someone else, or the situation.
  11. I am not easily swayed by others’ opinions when they conflict with my values.
  12. To remain open and flexible, I am willing to re-examine my values to determine whether something is still true for me.
  13. I find creative ways to honor all of my values—even when they conflict with one another.
  14. My work values are in harmony with my personal and relationship values.
  15. When I live according to my values, I feel satisfied and successful throughout my life.

If you answered false more often than true, you may wish to clarify your deepest values and bring your life into greater alignment with them. Please don’t hesitate to contact Lisa@StepItUpQueen.com if you’d like support in doing this.

3 Perks to Attending an Online College

  • You are going to pay less. Your taxes at an online college don’t include paying for cleaning personnel, electricity, water, building maintenance, construction of new buildings, buying books for the libraries and so on. You are even going to save money from transportation costs because you obviously don’t have to be attending any class. So you won’t be paying for gas, parking space and so on. Unless you want to have your college lesson in the outdoors, somewhere in nature.
  • You have the ability to create a schedule and take classes according to your free time. If you have a part-time or even a full-time job hence you probably have anywhere between 2 and 10 hours of your day occupied. Unlike traditional college, where you have to attend classes whether you like it or not, here you can leave time for everything, if you have good time management skills.
  • If you are already an adult person, but would like to get a qualification in order to start a new job, or to learn the latest techniques and discoveries in your area, then an online college is just for you. You won’t feel awkward because you’re around hundreds and thousands of students at the age of 20. You are going to be in the comfort of your own home and, as I already mentioned, study at your own pace.

9 Gift Ideas for the College Student on Your Christmas List

  1. Massage. Work out the stress and anxiety of finals week with a relaxing massage.
  2. Tablet. With accessories like keyboards, it’s even easier for college students to use tablets like the iPad for note-taking. They can even download their textbooks as e-books and save money and the environment in the process. Good-bye back pain from carrying heavy textbooks!
  3. Gift card. Whether it’s to iTunes to load up on study music, to a nice restaurant in town, or Amazon where they can get virtually anything, gift cards are a great way to go.
  4. Portable Speaker. I have the X-mini ii and you would be surprised at how much it amps up the sound when watching a show on your laptop or listening to Pandora on your smartphone. At$19, it’s a great gift.
  5. Gym membership. How better to kick/avoid the Freshman 15 than working out? They can hit the pilates, spin, or Zumba classes to stay motivated.
  6. Luxurious mattress cover. Not only will this facilitate a better night’s sleep (what college student wouldn’t go for that?) it will also add some healthy boundaries between them and the mattress in the dorm.
  7. Movie tickets. After finishing a big paper or writing a midterm, sometimes you just need to unwind. Movie tickets will let them turn their minds off and reward themselves for a job well done.
  8. One Line a Day book. This five year memory book will help preserve memories for years to come. $16.95
  9. Money. Green goes a long way with college students and they will welcome it in any amount! Money talks, baby.

A Hire Calling: How Choosing the Right Major Can Land You the Perfect Job

prefessionalu:


By Naresh Vissa

As the semester winds down, many of you will head into Winter Break deciding or reassessing your major.

For freshmen, this may mean eliminating what you don’t want to study. For sophomores, it’s a question of finding the correct major for you. For juniors, you might want to think about adding another one. And for seniors, this would be an ideal time to target companies in industries that are hiring.

The general environment may not be under your jurisdiction, but you can be the maker of your destiny. For example, people may want to become doctors because they perceive them as successful and powerful figures in our society. The reality is becoming a doctor is an extremely difficult process that requires hundreds of thousands of dollars in tuition and years of dedication.
