Summarize:
I have an end in mind or a plan of what I want. I always start with a mental blueprint of what I want and the steps I'm going to take to get there. My vision and the steps to get there have meaning and therefore create positive cycle of what I say, what I do and the consequences of my actions.
The behavior I want change and my commitment:
It is easy to lose sight of my path, because there are multiple visions that are constantly floating in my head. While I have amazing visions and goals of what I want for my future I must confess that I allow other things to dictate my path. I think I blame other things, because it is the easiest thing to do, or the at least the thing that will take away the sense of guilt when I don't stick to my vision or goals. I want to have a clear plan and stick to it.
What will I do for myself?
I can be easily distracted by other things that I might deem important, but I have to make sure that these things are part of my plan. Therefore, I want to try and create monthly agenda in which I map the steps to get o my vision or goal, for that month, and do one thing each day that will take me closer to these goals.
How will I teach it someone else?
While my students are aware of how important it is to develop good habits, as opposed to bad ones, I'm certain that they are still not fully aware of how important it is to create a plan to achieve a goal. I want to change this and make sure they understand the importance of Habit two.
I will teach them about his habit through writing and the writing process. I'm going to give them 45 minutes to write about a topic. I will collect this piece and save it. Then, for the next four days, I will take them through the whole writing process. Next, they will compare their first paper, the 45 minute piece, to their second paper, one for which they actually created a plan. They will then compare the two and decide which one is better and why. This will hopefully help them see the importance of beginning with the end in mind.
