1 hr 12 min - An Adjustment I Made to Strengthen My Study and Work Habits
I often got stressed over grades, especially during my undergraduate studies in theology. But over time I realised I was taking the wrong approach to studies and work. It was a simple but profound adjustment for me, that made a massive difference and helped me gain a better approach to study and work. Check out this short episode. It's actually a message I created for my students at Master's College and Seminary, but thought it might be helpful for others as well. So here it is. Tell me your thoughts on this - could this help you? What other approaches have you learned in the way you study and work that could help others? Feel free to share your perspective in the comments on the YouTube video version if you like here: https://youtu.be/TkHCJInucp0.
