  2. Packing More Into Your life • Have you ever packed a suitcase and noticed how much more you can fit inside when you neatly fold and organize your clothes instead of just throwing them in? • The same goes for your life……..

  3. The Time Quadrants • Two Ingredients: • Important Things– your most important things, your first things, activities that contribute to your mission and your goals. • Urgent Things – pressing things, in-your-face things, activities that demand immediate attention. • We spend time in four different time quadrants. • Each quadrant contains different kinds of activities and is represented by a type of person.

  4. The Time Quadrants Important NotImportant

  5. Now you will create skits • Number students off 1-4. • This is now your quadrant group. • Obtain your copy of the quadrant material and move to your quadrant group. • Make up a little skit to illustrate your type of person to the class (skit should be 2-3 minutes). • You will present during the next advisory period.

  6. Skits • Have Fun!

  7. How to Spend More time in Quadrant 2 • Use your planner! • Plan Weekly • Identify your big rocks (the most important things) • Block out time for your big rocks • Schedule everything else • Adapt Daily • Does it work? – • Share teen stories on page 116 if time allows.

  8. Things you Can do today! • Set a goal to use your planner for one month. • Identify your biggest time wasters. Make a goal to give up one of them, or modify time spent on it. • Are you a “pleaser,” someone who says yes to everything and everyone? If so, have the courage to say no today when it’s the right thing to do. • If you have an important test in one week, don’t procrastinate and wait until the day before to study. Step up and study a little each day. • Note your ten most important big rocks for the upcoming week. Now, block out time on your schedule to accomplish each one.
