Tips: Growing the “blue zone”

v Dedicate job development time in your schedule. Protect it!

Stick to it!

  • Get difficult/stressful tasks done early in the day (calling

employers…)

  • Minimize “putting out fires”
  • Use travel time efficiently

v Increased time spent in the community definitely pays off! v Be proactive and prepared! v Maximize natural supports, fade appropriately, use fading

time productively!

v Time management skills and attention can help!
