Essential skills for study and employment. 
 
During this term I have learnt many skills that I can apply to both studying and any future career prospects once I graduate.
 
Time management is crucial in studying, employment, and real-life situations as it helps to keep me organised and on track for any upcoming events or deadlines. By having daily, weekly, and monthly tasks planned out, this will prevent procrastination and allow me to effectively manage my schedule and unlock my full potential [1]. The RAC method (record, analyse, change) is a clever way to not only record your day but then analyse what went wrong and make a change to your habits [2]. 

 
Digital literacy is all about information and how it is interpreted, accessed, and communicated through various modes [3]. This is a particularly important skill for me to have as most of my future career choices would revolve around computing, IT, or programming. This means that I would continuously improve as there is always something to learn about computers and digital information. 

 
Critical thinking is important not only academically but also in social settings where we might have to make decisions and produce solutions daily [4]. This would allow me to gain a deeper understanding of what would be needed from me in the workplace when starting a task.
