Join us as we talk with Janet about honing in on your goals, removing distractions and toxicity, and staying focused. We’ve talked about networking and social media, but we touch a bit on professionalism and how to balance those aspects of social media in the professional world. Even as a student you should be thinking about your online presence and make sure you’re thinking about what you’re showing the world about who you are. You never know who you might be working for one day! Janet also gives some insight into her practice method and her journey to become a reporter.

Janets Practice Method: Warm up with 20wpm+ your target speed. Then go up 40wpm+ for 2 minutes, and then come back down -20wpm and try to write it perfectly. Write it again. Print it. Highlight areas you need to focus on. Underline your phrases. Take a microscope to it and write your briefs and strokes that you’re missing. Practice those briefs for 2-3 minutes, and then keep doing that for 30 minutes. If you’re really into it, you can push for an hour. This should be your practice for the week, and by the end of the week when you’ve heard that take all week, focus on passing your tests at the end of the week. This is a “practice to perfection” method.
