Life Habits Of Life Patterns In Daily Life

The two theories I have chosen for my paper are Routine Activities Theory and Lifestyle Theory. Routine Activities Theory was created by Lawrence Cohen and Marcus Felson in 1979 to draw connections between routine activities in certain areas and crime. The connections Cohen and Felson make are based around influences in the community an offender would be pressured by. In essence, this theory embodies the idea of being a product of one’s environment. The second theory I chose is Lifestyle Theory. Glenn Walters created the Lifestyle Theory in 1990 and in it theorizes that crime is a lifestyle and not just a behavior. This theory focuses heavily on the offender and

Deciding on a career is an important life decision. In order to make an educated decision, reflection on what you want your life to be like is necessary. I would like a job where I can utilize my interest in math and science, have the opportunity to research, create, and develop revolutionary ideas and processes. However, there is more the selecting a career than personal interests. I would like to have a life outside of my job, which would mean I need a structured schedule that is not susceptible to change. Also, I would like to travel quite a bit during my life, and I would need to make enough money to accommodate the expenses of traveling. In addition, I would like to have a job where advancement opportunities are available,

I have found that self-assessments tend to be somewhat unreliable because people tend to be too hard or too easy on themselves. With this is mind, I tried to really take an honest look at my strengths and weakness when filling out the Seven Habits Profile. I consider myself to be the quintessential “People Person” and I did see that reflected in my results.

I am not an early bird, I never was. I struggle a lot with waking up and when I do; I have difficulties staying awake. Thanks, a lot, to technology, a device was invented to make the waking up process a lot simpler for me. The coffee maker, the Superman to my incessant sleep.

In On Habit, Alain de Botton writes about how people become habituated and believe there is nothing left to see or learn about the certain location they are in. In this essay, Botton discovers an attitude to approach places we think we already know, and no longer find interest in. This mindset is intended for the environment you are in, but can also be apply to styles of reading and writing.

My alarm clock goes off at 3:45am and I shut it off to snooze 10 more minutes. Finally, five minutes till 4am I slide out of bed unwillingly and begin to put on my scrubs and grab my left overs to eat for

I never thought of my life, at least as in a detailed way before this assignment. Before this assignment, I thought that it was easy. When I started writing my first journal was easy, but when I was going ahead with this journal the things were coming hard to put in. I didn’t know what to put or how to put it, so I decided to write the things how everything happen. I wrote six journals in total, which explain and say about my personal life. After reviewing all my journals I did a big reflection of my relationship, I couldn’t expect that my relationship was how I read it.

Have you ever set a goal in your life and wondered how you would reach it? Putting important things first helps you reach that goal. Putting school, homework and sports first in front of friends, parties and socializing helps you make it through school and have a future. Do you think teens who procrastinate but have set a goal will be successful in reaching that goal? They probably will not. Therefore, setting goals, making a plan, and sticking to that plan, will help you be successful and reach the goal you desire.

My mom woke me up for school almost every day throughout my four years of high school. Transitioning from having someone wake me up at the same time every single day to having to wake myself up was a huge struggle for me. Knowing that I was finally independent and on my own I knew I had to figure something out to wake myself up so I could stay up and refrain from going back to sleep after pressing snooze. My advice on waking up is to just set multiple alarms. For example, if your schedule tells you that you have a class at nine, best thing to do would be to set an alarm at 7:50, another at 8:20 and another at 8:40 to ensure that you are out of the house and on the way to class on time. According to the article “College Resolutions: How to Wake up Early for Class” by Sivani it states “Go to bed at a consistent time. Waking up in the morning actually starts the night before. Going to bed at a consistent time at a normal hour will help you immensely.” This means if you are trying to wake up on time for your morning classes then you definitely shouldn’t be staying out all night, get enough sleep so you won’t wake up

Ever since I’ve been alive, I have never been a morning person. Never been able to wake up happy and be able to smell the air with a smile on my face and get ready for the day. No. It’s more like waking up is a pain, especially when you don’t even have the recommended eight hours of sleep. You might be thinking well just go to bed earlier, but it gets hard to when all eight of your teachers like to give you homework/projects everyday for advanced classes.

After researching my strengths, weaknesses, and all of the categories of The Seven Habits Profile, I am confident I can use this information as an opportunity to grow on skills as both a leader in work and in my personal life. In reviewing my results, I was disappointed that I did not score higher in some categories that I was confident I was strong at. On the other hand, I was surprised to score so high on a few. I feel the results of this profile show that I am a strong leader with plenty of room to grow.

The seven habits profile provided me with an outline of my own leadership style by breaking down my strengths and weaknesses. My results of the seven habits profile are listed from my strengths to weaknesses as follows: • Life Balance - outstanding. I scored the highest in the category of life balance. Despite having a busy lifestyle, I always make room for the importance things in life. The moment I leave work and go home, I separate my work life from my home life.

In addition, waking up at a consistent time each day will help me to implement a better morning routine. A consistent morning routine sets the tone for the entire day, and will help me be more focused during school or work.

Mornings are my least favorite part of the day, getting up from hours of sleep, is the hardest part. Now how I go about my typical mornings varies upon where I am at. On the weekends I love to go home to my family in South Sioux City, NE; and on the weekdays, of course, I wake up to the base colored walls and white ceiling that seems to fall on me in my dorm. Throughout my typical mornings I talk to myself, sometimes not realizing that what I think is being said in my head, I turn out to be blabbering out until my roommate or family begins laughing at me.
