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:
- Read Chapters 14-16.
- Write a blog post in narrative (paragraph) format replying to the following questions:
- According to the author, in order to make a habit stick, one has to make it satisfying. Unfortunately, most people have bad habits because they find good habits unsatisfying. Select a “good” work habit you find unsatisfying but want to engage in more often. According to the author, how would you go about making that habit satisfying?
- When tracking a habit, the author says “don’t miss twice” and “don’t break the chain.” How can you apply this idea when working with clients to help them improve their quality of life?
