Online Assignment #3 Habits 1. One behavior I would like to change is when I veer off into browsing the internet and watch videos when I’m doing homework or when I’m studying. I think if I expel this habit, I will maximize my efficiency for completing homework and processing information while studying to better retain what I’ve studied. 2. Another behavior I would like to expel is eating unhealthy foods, especially during the weekends, or at a party or family event. I realize that it’s ok to cheat on unhealthy foods during times of leisure, but I think in order to attain the healthy body I want, it takes sacrifice. At least minimize the amount of junk food intake which I think in reality, is very attainable. 3. Being more sociable is a …show more content…
Also, I plan on telling my brother and mother about this plan and they’ll help guide me toward the right direction when I fall off course. I think letting my family know about my plan as soon as possible will help me out most, like today, which is July 13th. My reward will be much more sleep which will make me happier. 3. In monitoring my behavior, I will buy a calendar and a journal and write an X on everyday of the calendar in which I accomplished my scheduled time of sleep. In the journal, I will record what I did wrong on the days I didn’t accomplish the task of sleeping at the scheduled time. I will buy the calendar this weekend and I already have a journal. I will begin this plan at the same time I begin having a timer for my scheduled bed time which is on July 17th. A reward for this intention will be a record of all the calendars I’ve used in reaching this goal, it’ll show how far I’ve come. 4. I will not judge myself too harshly as I usually have before, I think this will allow me to be more calm and focused in attaining this good habit of sleeping well and waking up early. I think not being too hard on yourself is a good thing because it allows one to be at peace with themselves. I will not be hard on myself anymore, starting today, I’ll be at ease. I will treat myself to having more leisure time once I am more flexible with
I believe that if I make the conscious effort to improve my sleeping habits, I will be able to achieve my goal. I selected this goal because by increasing the amount of sleep I get, I think I will simultaneously notice an improvement in my daily functioning and energy level, which is incredible important for me as a student. As outlined in question 2, my current sleep habits include getting under the recommended number of hours of sleep each night and my sleeps are often interrupted. For my current behaviour to become in line with my goal behaviour, I need to

While looking over my answers on the “Multiple Intelligence Scoring Sheet”, I’ve noticed that I only have “strong abilities” in the musical category. However, I also have abilities in interpersonal and intrapersonal as well. I honestly do agree on with Howard Gardner’s Theory and his descriptions because each category is written with logical meanings. After reviewing the types of roles that I was put in; the three listed are actually perfect for me, and the others don’t quite correlate with me personally, except spatial-visual.
Summarize the employment-at-will doctrine discussed in the text and then evaluate three (3) of the six (6) scenarios described by determining:
Today I am experiencing a spell of laziness and procrastination. It seems that the way my schedule is set up, I have several hours between classes to get things done. Last year, I had no time in between classes and I was alwys extremly tired at the end of the day, so I thought I would try something different. However, it seems that all I find to do thorughout this time is sleep....which is dangerous when thinking about my actually sleeping patterns. I tend to sleep all day and then I am awake at 5am wondering how I a, to fuction on 3 hours of sleep for my 8am class. On a more positive note I have been keepig track of my New Year's Resolution and have finally made it to the second journal entry.
I am completing this behavior change project on myself. I had to think long and hard about what habit I would like to change. I must say, at first, I actually did not have a personal problem with this behavior I chose to modify. After carefully examining my bank and credit card statements in November, I had noticed that I was spending hundreds of dollars per month on takeout.
First, I start by setting a date of achieving this goal. I can also include incremental goals before my final date. I can start out by going to bed 15 minutes earlier than usual, and keep moving this back by 15 minutes in order to go to bed an hour earlier. Just I have previous stated, I can remind myself of the health benefits of getting 8 hours of sleep. Also, I should be aware of the barriers I acquire. These barriers may be, not having the motivation to go to bed earlier, not yet being tired, and being too busy to go to bed at the right time. My strategies for overcoming these barriers are to remind myself of the health benefits, and if I am too busy I should try to better my time management. Changing my amount of sleep during the school year I believe in the long run will help me to do better in class and work by having more energy and feeling less
Sleep is a behavior that I have struggled with since I began my freshman year of high school. I tend to stay up very late and get very little sleep every night. Whenever I am up so late I usually find myself being distracted by friends, food, or studying. So, for this behavior challenge I chose to increase the time I sleep every night by decreasing and eliminating my distractions. My goal was to get at the very least, eight hours of sleep each night for three nights in a row. Also, I will use my favorite hobby of listening to music and tied it in with operant conditioning to increase my good sleep.
In college, I hope to become a better version of myself in many ways. First, I hope to improve my study skills and work ethic. In high school I was a firm believer procrastination. I would always wait till the day before or sometimes a few hours before a test before i really took my time to study. My senior year was the worst, I usually waited till study hall or lunch to complete my homework. I’m praying I do not continue this habit in college. So far it has been hard to not procrastinate because I do not have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I keep telling myself I have plenty of time to finish my assignments. For the last week now I have found myself staying up late finishing work. I hope I can get out of this habit by spacing
I learned that I am actually having a good night sleep, but I feel like I don’t because I just have too much to things do that I constantly thinking about finish this and that. I think that the strategy about “write out a list of worries or to-do list for the following days” will help me fall sleep better because first, I would not have to worry about remember and second I already plan my days before bed and this give me a peace of mind to falling sleep.
The next easiest behaviour for me to change would be fixing my attention span. I sometimes have a hard time focusing especially when it is a topic that does not catch my interest. To change this behaviour, I would engage in writing notes instead of doodle in my notebook keeping note that this is a class I must pass to
The target behavior I chose to carry out on is trying a night by night ‘hit the sheets on time’ routine. Since I first started college, I have had serious problems with falling asleep at nights. I often stay awake playing video games, cramming school work, on social media or watching TV. I chose to change this behavior because sleep is a key essential in the world. The feeling of actually being tired when you go to bed and feeling awake with nothing but energy in the morning is the best feeling in the world. Having a good sleeping pattern is indeed an amazing skill to develop in life. There’s just so much things that can be taken care of throughout the day when you’re well rested after nightly hours.
The behavior I have chosen to modify is my sleeping behavior. As a college student sleep is something that I don’t get enough. I chose to modify this behavior because sleep is an important part of life. I want to be tired when I go to bed and awake when I get up in the morning. I wanted to modify this behavior because I think having good sleeping patterns is a good trait to have in life. So much more can be done when we are awake and refreshed after a full night’s sleep. My goal is to be in bed at 10:30 pm every school night. I wanted to be able to have everything done by that time so that I could get 9 hours of sleep every night. My punishment is that I can’t take a nap the following day if I don’t go to bed on time. I observed my
The reason I chose to modify this behavior is because I have noted that my sleeping patterns vary from day to day. Sometimes I go to bed way past midnight whereas some other times I go to sleep very early, say 9.30 p.m. However, my morning classes start at the same time every day. This means that on certain days of the week I do not get sufficient sleep. As a result, my body responds differently to sleep at different times of the day. I usually take a nap during the day whose length varies depending on the time I went to sleep the previous night, or sleep through my alarm missing my morning class in the process or arriving late for the class. The frequency of my naps is increasing with every day, which is a worrying trend that prompted me to carry out a baseline data analysis of this behavior. If I awake for most of the daytime, I could get a lot of chores and work done. This time is however wasted in unproductive sleep, which is
So this week I choose to deal with it. Let’s take us a challenge that we will omit those bad habits one by one, because it’s not possible to change all of it at once. Otherwise, sudden changes may shake up your life.
