My First Vision Board

 

 

This is my vision board of my life now and what I’m planning for my future and for a better life. I represented my healthier habits with the sleeping image at 9pm which I should be working on, a salad bowl with balanced calories of food to reduce my weight and keep my body wealthy, and a jogging image at morning to refresh my brain and workout. Next, I included an image of pile of book that I must read to improve my brain knowledge, a hand of writing person which represents my love of writing things, and the logo of Harvard University that shows my desperation and plan of going to a good university when I turn my concentration to my education and studying more. For my relationship, there are a pair of students talking to each other which represents my goal of talking to people more, a trio of friends that shows my hope of having best friends, and a family, which I want to keep up having a good relations with. Lastly, there are images of a person going on her tablet in daytime which I usually do at my free time, a painting hand, I love painting and it makes me happy , a volleyball competition, I love playing volleyball (it’s one of my favorite sports), and a female with her bike which represents my love of bike.

My First Vision Board

Vision Board 2022

 

 

Health: I will be focusing mainly on sleeping, eating, and exercising for my health. Get ready to sleep around 9 pm, drink water every day, eat fruits and vegetables, exercise like running or swimming.  These also tie into my past goals.

Education (Wealth): My vision board includes the word “university,” but not which one exactly. This means I am still looking for an option. This year I have a lot of space to improve in physics, I like the subject and wish to study further. I will also be preparing for Japanese, which is coming next year. I am starting to do volunteer work and am planning to save up for myself through a part-time job. I hope that next semester I achieve higher grades with enjoyment of learning. This is also one of my goals.  

Relationships: I will keep calling or using the Facetime tool on my device to stay in contact with my family and friends who live in different countries. During festivals and holidays, I always give my relatives gifts and cards. It’s a way to maintain social bonds and make them happy. My friends and I have held a few parties in the past. They were good memories and a good way to make us closer. I look forward to doing activities like those with them. I wish to meet new souls that I can share with and have fun with. 

Happiness: In my free time, I like doing crafts and DIYs, I also like taking pictures to capture some moments in life. I enjoy playing a video game called Sky. There’s a character picture from the game to the right of my DIY image. I would also do baking in my free time because it makes me relax. 

 

My favourite Video

 

This is my favourite video on Youtube. I always watch it when I’m tired in night time and this video makes me calm and sleepy. It’s the series of “Oldies playing in Another Room” by Nemo’s Dreamscapes. The character in the video is Wendy Darling from Peter Pan and I love Peter Pan movie so much, and that’s one of the reason why I like this video. The music in this video are classical old music and I love these kind of songs. I always enjoy listening to this video and many people like it too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Plan for Screen Time

For Health:

I will take care of my health for at least 5 hours a week to balance my body career and wealth especially in weekend.

By:

Exercising like walking and fitness, and playing sports (each for like a hour) to make my body stronger and to be more active and diligent. I will also eat fats less than usual and drink water and eat fruits and vegetables instead to loss weight. These things are helpful for my health and career and helps me get into a normal life.

For Education:

I will spend more time on my academic goals and works for like 3 hours a day. I think I should also care about education beside my health.

By:

Finishing all the homework my teachers gave me and working on extra work before bed after I completed taking care of my career and finished my homework. I would keep distance away from my devices except when I need them for my education and I would only look at my work and focus on them.

For Social Bonds:

I will socialize with people everyday about 10 minutes on devices and frequently in classroom. It would help me make more friends and be more social. My life would be better if I have more friends.

By:

Chatting with people around me about interesting stuff, about our class, or about our study. They or I might ask each other about stuff like works we found difficult or don’t know what to do. We can talk about how each others’ things are going or how are our class. Also, we can talk about things we saw that are entertaining or fun. Now, my voice sounds low because I haven’t talk much with others. However, if I talk a lot, my voice and my desire to speak would go into a better way. I will socialize with people also by texting them. I have a chatting app called KaKaotalk and I often talk with my Korean friends and my family. I will talk to them more frequently on the app, and that would be the another way to socialize with people.

For School Stopping Rules:

To not to overuse devices during class time, I’m going to put my devices in silent mode and put them inside the very back pocket of my backpack. I often don’t get my phone when I can’t reach it right away in class time except when I really need it like when teacher told me to research something or doing school works on phone. So I think these rule are going to help me.

For Home Stopping Rules:

I will put my phone in airplane mode and silent mode, and I will put it in other room. When I see my phone near me, I would get it easily, but when the phone is in other room, I can’t see it near me, and I will pay attention on my work more than on phone. My mom also suggested that rule which means she agree it too. So, I think these would be a great idea for me to focus on my education more than going on my phone. Other than education, these rules also can make me focus on arts, hobbies, or other activities without being distracted .

These are some rules and plans for me to reduce my time spending on my phone.

 

 

 

 

 

My Plan for Screen Time

Assignment 4 My Plan for Screen Time

Health: I will be walking to school and back home every day. (30 minutes/day)

On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, I go to the park and jog. (1 hour/each time)

Every day after school, I do indoor activities like yoga, stretches, planks etc. (40 minutes each time).

In total, I will focus on my health and exercise for 7 hours and 50 minutes per week.

Doing activities helps me to be stronger and healthier, and even helps with my learning and sleeping. It can make me more concentrated when doing things, and if I’m tired, I fall asleep very quickly.

Education: Every day I do my homework when I have spare time at school and at home. (1 hour/day)

Review things I learned from classes, so I will memorize them better and strengthen my knowledge. (30min/day)

Preview things for example go into the next few pages in my science book, so I will get the basic idea of what I will be looking for the next day. (30min/day)

Every night before I go to bed, read books. It’s better to look at things on paper rather than using devices since blue light disrupted our quality of going to sleep. I will also remember the content in the book better since our brian store information when we are sleeping, reading will be the last activity I did. (40 minutes/day)

In total, I will take care of my education for 18 hours and 40 minutes a week.

These activities help me stay on task and always know what I need to prepare for.

Social Bonds: I chat with my family every day share what happened at school, and what things I learned, and ask how their day was, these can occur during the time after dinner. This will make us better connected and we will be able to share information. (1 hour/day)

I will go to friends and teachers that I didn’t see for a long time at school, say hi to them and ask how it’s been for their semester or any fun things we could share. I will be able to do these during lunchtime, after school, or in class if our teacher allows us to chat. (about 5min/day for each person I talk to)

Communicate with friends, peers, and teachers in-person/online about any questions I have. I chat with friends mostly online or when we are walking to school together. I will be able to ask my teachers questions before class or during ESS block. It’s more clear for me to ask my teachers directly instead of emailing the. (1 hour/day)

Call or face time with friends and family in another country during the weekends. Due to covid, it’s hard for me to travel back to China, to make up the time I missed spending with some of my friends and family members, face time works best for me. (2 hours each time).

In total, I will spend about 18 hours a week on my social bonds.

Having a good social bond provides me with positive mental health. It’s how I make connections with others.

STOPPING RULES

School: When I’m in my classrooms, I mute all my devices and put them away unless the teachers allow me to use them. I won’t be disturbed by the notifications, I can focus on my course and won’t disturb my classmates either. No earphones when my teachers or classmates are talking, I must pay full attention to what they are saying, so I don’t have to ask again and waste their time.

Home: When chatting or eating at home, I put my devices away. Electronics highly disturb me during certain activities. I might not pay attention to who I’m talking with, which would make them feel unrespected. And it’s very harmful to my body if I use a device when eating, since both my brain and stomach need blood to work properly. Return all my devices to my parents after 10 pm (like what I used to do). This will help me fall asleep quicker as there will be no blue light 1 hour before bed.
