This class is aimed at students who are struggling with the goal of becoming more independent in life as they prepare to leave home and work or go to school on their own. 

We will cover the topics of time management, task management, and the specific goals that would be involved for the individual student that they are feeling intimidated about or unprepared for. We'll discuss the home as a machine for living, and what organizational style gives the learner the most energy, so that they can set up and organize areas in their space for life admin, for study, and for other necessary things like cooking, getting dressed for work, and keeping track of paper work.  

Learners will take a 50 minute class once a week, live, online. We'll start each week with a discussion of the goals for the week and how the learner did. 

Learners will receive homework, write reflections, and post questions in the classroom.  The instructor will work closely with the student, focussing on their individual goals, challenges, and the skills needed. Some classes will present life skills or time management skills, before moving onto specific goals that we plan to cover that week.

Students are not required to have any previous knowledge or experience before taking this class.
