It is important to have a routine structure in the lesson plan while integrating a variety of diverse learning mediums. In an attempt to increase retention we must satisfy interest and create and environment where the student feels like he or she is learning.

Problem solving is a concern amongst many of our students. The ability to solve problems with others, personal problems, as well as academic problems, lacks. The majority of the students have concerns related to the initial step. Their ability to articulate the problem, or recognize the core issue, needs development. One of the greatest impediments upon the cultivation process of this initial step is the knowledge pool of limited experience. So many of our students have limited life experiences to draw from which makes critical thinking, communication, and over problem solving difficult.

Working on the line can be high paced and intensely unpredictable. Critical thinking and the ability to quickly troubleshoot are essential in the restaurant work environment. As items run out, appliances break, customers become disgruntled, and stress rises critical thinking can be significantly useful in creating efficiency and thus product quality.

A critical thinker has the ability to introduce new information and raise valuable questions and concerns, while formulating and articulating clear and precise concepts of innovation. A critical thinker extracts and analyzes relevant information, using abstract ideas to interpret it effectively into well-reasoned conclusions and solutions. The analytical vise tests each component and minute factor against relevant criteria and standards in an effort to produce progressive ideas. A critical thinker is openminded, embracing alternative systems of thought, recognizing and assessing, as need be, their assumptions, implications, and practical consequences, while communicating effectively with others to determine solutions to complex problems.

Prioritizing is key in my ability to be efficient. I don't always write it down, but I am always mentally listing and reprioritizing my day. I get extremely stressed out when things are not efficient.

It can be so difficult to find time for yourself with all go the demands that are placed on us. I started with 4 minutes a day. It was extremely difficult, as patience is not my virtue, to sit still that long and be quite, and not do anything...meditate. But. I forced myself to be still, and have no worked my way up to 15 minutes, slimmer abs, a glowing complexion, less wrinkles, more energy, and less feelings of stress. I refuse not to find 15 minutes for myself.

I recently moved to a new city. I am trying to acclimate to a new climate, culture, job, entire lifestyle. It's been stressful.

I have found that making time for myself has been extremely helpful in increasing the efficiency of my output at both work and home. I started by allotting 15 min to myself everyday. In this 15 minutes, I do whatever pleases me most. It's my 5 minutes! I have earned it! No phones are answered, no demands met outside of my own. Give it a try!
