Lesson 32

NOTHING!

Lesson 31

Four Areas of Renewal:

Body: Exercise

Heart: Relationships

Brain: Knowledge

Soul: Rest/Relaxation

Lesson 30

Ah this is a good story, and it relates to life in many ways. This was a very common thing with me when I was in elementary school. I used to toil endlessly with my tasks until I get REALLY REALLY tired. I start taking LONG times doing my tasks, and get quite frustrated and stressed out. Sometimes I start REALLY spazzing. "Abusing" my work sometimes. I could have really sharpened my saw so I wouldn't be so frustrated...Self Renewal in Need!

Lesson 24

Zero, Nada, Nothing

Lesson 23: Clear Communication

People-Watch

Non-verbal communication is VERY important. Everyone is shrugging and frowning, or smiling and laughing, it really shows their emotion. Sarcasm is also widely expressed in non-verbal communication, like rolling eyes and such. It shows a lot in a person's attitude.

Lesson 22: Genuine Listening

Translate this...

My parents are ALWAYS making me do stuff that I REALLY don't want to do. And even with begging and pleading, it will never work. I REALLY hate to do work! I want some freedom! Argh! I need help...

Lesson 21

Nothing again?!

Lesson 15: The Matrix

Spent Time:

I have spent most of my time as the not important, not urgent section. Slacking is my life...here's why:

1. Procrastinater: important, urgent. I spent some of my time in this category, but not as much as I do slacking. I sometimes have to hurry a lot to finish all my work, but only a few time sleep really late.

2. Yes-man: not important, urgent. Sometimes I just spend my time doing stuff that I don't really have to finish really soon. Yeah.

3. Slacker: not important, not urgent. Whoa do I spend a lotta time in this quadrant! Like seriously. I often just, while doing homework, turn on the radio and pull out a deck of cards and just start playing. Lots of time lost...I love hurrying! Maybe I need some more time for fun...haha LOL

4. Prioritizer: important, not urgent. I really gotta spent more time in this quadrant! So hard to! How am I supposed to know what is the most important and what not? I have extra-curricular stuff everyday!..

Well usually all my time is spent on activities and, well, work. I don't think I could cut back but I sure could try working faster! Go speed!
