16 October | 'Get your things done'

11:00 AM - 1:00 PM

'Get your things done' ¡ª  how to manage your everyday life as a student
Balancing your studies and everyday life is often not so easy. Especially at the beginning, when everything is new: the city, the tasks and the many small responsibilities of life that your parents that your parents may have taken on before. And one thing is also clear: self-organisation is and remains a life issue. That's why it's never too early to start thinking about how you can manage your tasks and challenges effectively while remaining relaxed and satisfied.
The 'Get your things done' workshop will give you an initial overview:

  • Am I more of a creative chaotic person or a logical organiser?
  • Practise & Study & Self-care
  • Budget and financial planning

Personal, concrete goals and plans for the semester are also developed.

Lecturer: Kirsten Peters (interdisciplinary professionalisation, self-management and music education)
