concise, essential, and understandable form. It involves extracting and focusing on the most
important or relevant aspects of the information or situation while leaving out any unnecessary
details. The term is often used in contexts such as summarizing a report, distilling a complex
concept, or simplifying a process.

Around 12:30pm the team starts to get hungry so half of us head down to the commercial bay to
grab something for lunch. The other half are more financially responsible and bring their own lunch
from home.

Once the training is finished, I do more of the audit file and try to wrap up all the work I’ve done so
that my file can be reviewed by a manager and a partner. I then send off an email requesting their
review and will check back again in the morning to see what areas need more work.

At 5pm it’s time to head home and endure the gruelling drive on the southern motorway for a good
40 mins but once I get home, I relax by either scrolling on Tik Tok or reading a book while I wait for
dinner at 6 (that’s if I’m not the one cooking).

If I’m not too tired, I’ll go play a social game of sport or go to the gym with some friends and then
hang out with them for a bit after. Got to maintain that work life balance.

I then get home, shower, get ready for the next day, and read a book till I fall asleep.

Take a holistic approach

Taking a holistic approach means considering the whole picture or system rather than focusing on
individual parts in isolation. It involves looking at all the interconnected parts of a situation and
considering how they relate to and affect each other.

For example, in healthcare, taking a holistic approach means treating a patient not just for their
physical symptoms, but also considering their mental, emotional, and social well-being, as all of
these factors can impact their overall health. Similarly, in business, taking a holistic approach might
involve considering not only a company's financial performance, but also its impact on the
environment, its relationships with its employees, customers, and suppliers, and its contribution to
society as a whole.
