GOMBAK, 25 November 2020: The human brain is more of a task-switcher than a multitasker that we thought it is, hence to divide equal attention towards our tasks at one point is just impossible, a webinar was told. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The treasurer of the Department of Student Union Committee IIUM Kuantan, Puteri Hidayatul spoke on a webinar titled “Tanggungjawab vs Beban<\/em>” on Tuesday which revolved around proper management of responsibilities for one to achieve a balanced student life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puteri Hidayatul told the audience that students generally have two main responsibilities that they need to carry – as a student and as a child. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agreeing with Puteri Hidayatul’s view, another speaker Afiq Azri said, “Every responsibility is followed by a task that awaits to be performed.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afiq Azri is an educator at SMART Tahfiz Masjid UNISEL, who is also a Bachelor of Islamic Education student from Universiti Industri Selangor (UNISEL). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Puteri Hidayatul, responsibilities can either be burdensome by nature or otherwise, yet will be under a few circumstances, when it is by nature it’s the enormous tasks that are overloading your shoulder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afiq Azri shared that when it’s not, it’s because of four reasons – firstly; a pessimistic mindset can weigh you down; secondly, being uninterested in a particular task will make you feel overloaded; thirdly, an unsupportive environment which may dishearten you, hence, seeing the task as a burden; and fourthly, and the tasks executed are not done systematically. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solutions to avoid responsibilities from becoming burdensome were shared by both the panelists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned by Afiq Azri, having a strategy is crucial to ensure that the tasks are carried out properly. “Strategy includes planning and being work-smart in accomplishing the tasks,” he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Besides, time management is needed to ensure that you are always on track.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puteri Hidayatul suggested a “to-do-list” so that you can easily keep track of all your duties and its deadlines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Separate your ‘to-do-list’ into academic and other commitments. That way you are able to spot if you are heavily focused on one than the other which allows you to alter your schedule accordingly.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puteri Hidayatul added that being honest with yourself is important for your well-being. “Only you can truly know your capabilities and limit.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When it comes to voluntary responsibility like taking position in a University club, do not force yourself into that position if you believe that you are not able to cope with the duties,” Puteri Hidayatul said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puteri Hidayatul reminded the audience to have time for themselves too. “Take a break and reward yourself by enjoying the nature, spend time with your family or treat yourself for an ice cream.” *** <\/p>\n\n\n\n
