Work-life self-observation

In this exercise, you will be reflecting on your own experiences when you transition from work/school to your home life.

Please choose a day that you are working or going to class (if it is an asynchronous class, pick a day that you are working on school activities). Then, on that day, choose a window of time that (a) includes a transition between school/work and home (including a commute, if you have one) and (b) is at least one hour long; you will record the start and end time below.

During this window of time, you should be paying special attention to what you are doing and how you feel. Take a few minutes throughout the self-observation to check in with yourself. How do you feel (content, stressed, accomplished, upset)? Are there any challenges you’re dealing with? What brings, or would bring, you a sense of ease? What is different about today (if anything)?

Before your self-observation, please preview the questions below so that you understand the reflection.
