While both study and work are important, I have found it beneficial to reduce my hours at work to gain an even balance between work, study, and free time.  
Another factor I have considered is distractions, to combat this I sit in the dining room when I am the only one in the house so that it is quiet. If it is too noisy in the house, I go to the library.  
One more factor that I consider is tiredness. If I am feeling tired, I will take a 10–15-minute break to have a drink and reset. If this does not work, I will then stop studying as it will not be effective and will impact my work in a negative way. ]]> 2022-09-20 09:45:13 UTC https://padlet.com/leahmcdowell1/c9bglt7t0f0cguii/wish/2304618362 leahmcdowell1 https://padlet.com/leahmcdowell1/c9bglt7t0f0cguii/wish/2304621721

Another strength of mine is that I possess effective communication skills. This will positively impact on my study as I will be able to answer and ask questions in discussions.  
Lastly, I have good concentration skills, I am able to concentrate for extended periods of time and know when I need a break to benefit the quality of my studies which will work well with my time management skills.
 
One improvement that I could make would be to participate in lessons which will improve my confidence.  
Another improvement I could make would be to work on my multi-tasking skills so that I can cope with my workload when I have multiple active assignments.   
in addition, I would also improve my time managements skills so that I can manage my assignment deadlines alongside my other commitments without stress]]> 2022-09-20 09:56:56 UTC https://padlet.com/leahmcdowell1/c9bglt7t0f0cguii/wish/2304633576 leahmcdowell1 https://padlet.com/leahmcdowell1/c9bglt7t0f0cguii/wish/2304673493 I have access to the computers in the learning centre. This will support my study in a positive way as I will be able to access my teams to print out resources to take home for personal study as well as researching information and materials to further my knowledge in the subjects that I am learning. ]]> 2022-09-20 10:19:55 UTC https://padlet.com/leahmcdowell1/c9bglt7t0f0cguii/wish/2304673493 leahmcdowell1 https://padlet.com/leahmcdowell1/c9bglt7t0f0cguii/wish/2304674238 I have access to the Books in the learning centre. This will support my personal study as I can learn new information and research specific topics by taking up to 8 books out on loan to learn and review. ]]> 2022-09-20 10:20:37 UTC https://padlet.com/leahmcdowell1/c9bglt7t0f0cguii/wish/2304674238 leahmcdowell1 https://padlet.com/leahmcdowell1/c9bglt7t0f0cguii/wish/2304675383 At college, there are always staff in the building to offer support and guidance. This supports my personal study as I can ask staff for help and guidance if needed, for example, asking the learning centre staff to order a book I would like to read as it has a chapter relating to a specific part of my syllabus, this will then enable me to gain more knowledge on that specific topic and will positively impact and support my personal study. ]]> 2022-09-20 10:21:45 UTC https://padlet.com/leahmcdowell1/c9bglt7t0f0cguii/wish/2304675383
