The long-term behavioral goal that I wish to focus on for this assignment is to do physical exercise five-days a week. Regular physical exercise would help me maintain a healthy weight, reduce my risk of heart attack and stroke, improve my mood and well-being, and is an important factor for a long and healthy life. The first technique that I practiced was time management. I have a busy schedule which involves a constant balance of attending classes, doing homework, going to work, doing church callings, and participating in extracurricular activities. Sometimes at the end of the day I am so tired or behind that I am not motivated to do physical exercise. However, I am also bad at planning my day, which means that I could get more out of my day if I devoted a few minutes at the beginning of the week to making a schedule. I applied the time management technique by making a weekly schedule and devoting specific …show more content…
I often was not motivated to do physical activity. If I had a choice to watch Netflix or to exercise I would probably pick Netflix every time. Therefore, I used my Netflix watching passion as an internal bargaining tool to get myself to exercise. For example, instead of not exercising and just watching Netflix, I would exercise for an hour and then reward myself by watching thirty-minutes of Netflix. This motivated me to exercise because I knew that I would be able to do something I enjoyed after I was done. I learned that I could apply this technique to other situations in my life. For example, I use a self-reward system when I am not motivated to study, by studying for 30 thirty-minutes and then taking a five-minute YouTube break. I also learned that self-reward and time management are connected. For instance, I would designate specific study breaks throughout the day as little incentives to get work done. The schedule, however, helped my five-minute study break not to turn into a three-hour Netflix
3.Set goals to do one solid hour of physical aerobic and fitness training seven days a week. Use a fitness tracker such as a pedometer and complete 10,000 plus steps daily (including Saturday and Sunday). 4.Watch
Secondly, you must attach the new action to a previous habit. Find a habit that you already have. Simply embellish on it to help you reach your goal. If you have a habit of going to sonic after school (like me), go to subway instead. If you give up working out after an hour, stay
For example, I tried to replace using cellphone with reading and leave phone at the other room, but it did not work for a long time and I could persevere for less than a week. I wanted to change these two undesirable behaviors because of two reasons. First, after I got into the habit of staying up, I often felt sleepy and sometimes lacked concentration during the daytime. Second, I missed the time when I still maintained the habit of not staying up. During that period, I was more energetic and I could handle my workload better because of enhanced concentration capability.
I really enjoy working out, so not finding time to workout was never my issue. My issue was my diet.
For example, let’s say you have a huge test coming up, but the weekend before the test there’s a big party coming up. You know that you should be taking time to study, but instead you spend the entire weekend out preparing yourself for this party. You go back into school, and you flunk the test. You can take out of this experience that you should better manage your time, and dedicate part of your weekend to studying.
On a daily basis, employees of a corporation, or business enterprise uses different email servers to communicate with coworkers, customers, and others that are not associated with the business. One of the most commonly used email server is Microsoft Outlook (Lindsey, 2013). The program is used to share information, and multimedia attachment files both (Lindsey, 2013). Individuals within the scope of an organization prefer to use the instant messaging option over sending email, simply because it saves time. Most employees are not aware of the fact that even if they delete their messages, it can still resurface at a later date, but only if is necessary.

I learned in this activity how crucial time management skills will be to my ability to complete this course successfully. The analysis from the questionnaire (Table 2) as well as keeping a record of what activities I focus on for a couple of days, opened my eyes to a few areas of improvement. From the patterns observed I could see that most of my time was taken up by work and commitments as well as procrastination. Not being able to juggle theses successful led to irritation and was unproductive. Research suggests that managing ones emotions, being self-aware and self-motivate can be factors for success for a student (Allan, 2009).

“Don’t stop me now!” This song from Queen makes me always desire to workout, read, mountain bike, run, paint, draw, and etc. Always doing something is not bad because it can keep someone from doing bad habits, from falling behind in a mission or task, and to keep one on are toes. First and foremost, being productive in any kind of activity can help keep one from participating in bad habits. In the television show Sherlock, Sherlock, the main character, is an investigator for the London Police Department.
Time management: Time management is a very crucial component if you are willing to have a productive lifestyle. To be honest, I have always had issues with managing my time efficiently. This problem had become a huge obstacle once I got into college. Thus, attending a lecture that focuses on time management helped me a lot with this problem by introducing me to different aspects related to time management: planning, SMART goals, and important/urgent matrix. Learning to make a specific plan for my daily tasks and make a to-do list to make my day as productive as possible is something very helpful which was advised to me by the instructor of this lecture Mr. Irfan.
