Program Goals
Identify what is work, leisure, and obligations in our daily lives.
Learn how to build schedules that help you take time for yourselves.
Find ways to enjoy every day not just your “days off” or “weekends.”
ChoicesA reality check
Every day, you choose how to spend your time.
Accept that you have free will. We must take ownership for our choices.
Why do we do the things we do? Are the choices you happy with your
choices?
“You and I are essentially infinite choice-makers. In every moment of our existence, we are in that field of all possibilities where we have access to an infinity of choices.”
-Deepak Chopra
"Work and play are words used to describe the same thing under differing conditions."
- Mark Twain
What is your definition of work?Classes, jobs, what else?
What is your definition of leisure?Social events, watching TV,
reading, what else?
Work vs. Play
What do you do?
Who are you? Are you a chapter president, council secretary, resident assistant, etc…?
What is your busiest day like? Why do you do the things that
you do?
The Colors of Our Life
Using the schedules you created, color it in as follows:Work- BlueClass Obligations- PinkLeisure- Yellow
Everyone has a purpose in life. Perhaps yours is watching television. –David Lettermen
What are your interests? Ski Watch TV Socialize Read Watching sports Working out
How often do you do them?When was the last time?
So, what do you like to do?
Are you enjoying your journey?
If we agree that the bottom line of life is happiness, not success, then it makes perfect sense to say that it
is the journey that counts, not reaching the destination.
