Purpose:  Students will learn professional growth and development skills necessary to execute their craft through writing, reflection and discussion.

Knowledge: While APIE and other RT concepts are essential skills, learning to be a professional is also important. To help you do that, as a class, we will read Atomic Habits by James Clear (2018) and hold weekly book club meetings to discuss how to make 1% improvements one-day-at-a-time, we can develop productive, professional skills that will last a lifetime.

Task: 

  1. Read Chapters 5, 6, & 7.
  2. Write a blog post in narrative (paragraph) format replying to the following questions:
    1. What is habit-stacking? How might you use this concept to improve your work habits?
    2. According to the first law of behavior change, to develop a new, better habit one “makes it obvious”, to eliminate a bad habit one “makes it invisible.” Explain how you would use this concept to make a good work habit obvious and a bad work habit invisible.
