This feel appropriate for this week, trying to knuckle down to work and personal goals. At the moment I’m trying to create rituals/habits to provide structure to my focus.

How do you focus? Got any tips?

Although this data is from America I believe what ever is happen with the youth there will soon come across the pond. Things as youth workers we should be aware of:

1. Use of technology -  75% on a social networking site and 20% having posted a video. This is a generation who socialise, create content and believe in the use of technology in all spheres of life. How as youth workers are we using technology beyond having a Facebook page or showing YouTube clips?

2. Without a religion – 25% are without a religion. Are we as youth workers telling the same gospel story that we heard? How are we retelling the story of the gospel to this generation of fresh ears, does the emphasis need to change?

3. Unemployment – With youth employment at an all time high in th UK. How are youth workers preparing a generation for potential unemployment?

Just how far are we willing to go to get what we want or become better at what we do?

Will we humble are ourselves?
