How I Divide My Time (HIDMT)

Hola!

So in case you were absent or neglegent I will give you the requirements for the first assignment check. They are due next class at the latest.

1. Write a list of all the activities you do in a week. The total must equal 168.
Examples of activities should include everything from hygene, sleep, school (32 hrs/week), friends, texting, family time etc.
2. After step one decide which component of health each activity belongs to: for example sleeping = physical health, eating = physical health, friends = emotional/relational health.
The four components of health are: Physical, Mental, Emotional/Relational and Spiritual.
3. Add up all of the four components of health to get a TOTAL HOURS PER COMPONENT OF HEALTH and list from from highest amount of hours spent per week to the lowest amount of hours spent per week.

If you are confused or need help, email me or ask a friend who has completed the assignment!
Have a fanatastic weekend!
