In April, as University of Victoria English professor Janelle Jenstad
prepared to make the best use of her coming summer break from teaching,
she came across Globe Careers’ online Balance scorecard and
questionnaire, and decided to give it whirl.
As she edged through
the step-by-step questions about her work-life balance, it crystallized
her thinking, prodding her to focus on the most important factors and
pick between them on what to emphasize in each of the next thee months.
Now, her summer over and in retrospect quite successful, she plans to
share the questionnaire with her new graduate students in the time
management class she always gives to those recruits as they flow from
the relatively structured life of undergraduates to the more
unstructured, and thus potentially thorny, life of a graduate student.
