Help your students make a connection between their values and how they prioritize their time. Students create two columns on a sheet of paper. In the right hand column have them create a short list describing things they spend their time on (i.e. skateboarding, Facebooking, hanging out with friends, sports, homework, etc.) In the left-hand column, have them make a list of things they value (i.e. friends, family, adventure, faith, money, etc.) Have them match up the values they have to the things they spend time on by drawing arrows to show connections. (i.e. they value friends and that connects with spending time on Facebook). Use the following questions to debrief the experience.
- What did you notice about your values and how you spend your time?
- Are there values you have that aren’t reflected in how you spend your time?
- Do you spend time on things you don’t really value that much? Why?
- How can you use this information to better prioritize how you spend your time?
