Curating my ePortfolio for COMM 305

I first created an ePortfolio for a communications class at Old Dominion University. Since, I have been curating my Wix page to encompass more classwork to showcase my knowledge and skills. With each assignment or class that requires an ePortfolio, I have grown my page to really showcase what each class teaches me and how I can apply that further down the road. Most assignments fail to overlap so each one is special and specific. I find joy in adding to my Wix instead of creating a new one for each class. With this one specifically, I tweaked a few small details to help strengthen my page but really focused on making the mobile version of my Wix user-friendly. I find accessibility of information important in this work era.

When thinking about what a work-life balance should look like in this time period we’re living in, the first thing to come to mind is mental health. In this age, one of the biggest issues or worries regarding a good balance is managing your mental health. A good healthy balance might include checking off tasks at work but still having time for relationships and hobbies. Some may say maintaining a healthy diet or sleeping a full eight hours a night would be good. Companies have seen the toll that work has on the lives of their employees. Specifically, their mental health. When the mental health of employees is put on the back burner, work is normally not as good and deadlines don’t get met. It could even get so bad that employees remove themselves from the workplace for days or weeks at a time to recover.
