I can practice being able to do planks. I need to do it every day with a stopwatch. I can use my P.E. Fitness journal to measure my progress. I will know once my stopwatch has that specific time. I will be doing it a couple of times a day. Yes, I can take this action. I can do it step by step. I can go from 30 second planks (2 weeks) to 1 minute planks (2 weeks) to 2 minute planks (2 weeks). Something that may prevent me from achieving my goal is laziness. I can gather motivation from my pets. Yes, this goal is realistic and doable in the next few months. I can achieve this goal in 2 months. I will start today and possibly finish in April. I can practice every day in the afternoon or nights.

I can create a schedule for a time to sleep. I need to change the time in order to get to my goal. I can write my progress down in my journal. I will know once I get to my goal time to sleep (10:30 am). Yes, I can take this action. I can start by making myself sleep at 12:30 (the rest of this month) then 12:00 (March) then 11:30 (April) then 10.30 (May). Yes, this goal is realistic and doable in the next few months. I can achieve this goal by May. I will start today and end in May. I can just make myself tired in order to keep up with my sleeping schedule. ]]> 2021-02-26 20:22:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1246965381 trinityh1 https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1248299922 I will get at least 8 hours of sleep. I can set an alarm for a time to go to sleep and a time to wake up on the bedtime feature on my phone. I can measure this process by starting slow. By this I mean getting my normal hours of sleep (5 hours on average) and increasing it every two weeks. I will increase the goal by changing the hour intervals on the bedtime app on my phone every 2 weeks and increase it by 30 minutes. I will be able to remember this by setting a calendar reminder. This goal is realistic, however I am unsure if it is attainable within the allotted time because I have a lot of work that has to be done and my free time is mostly at night. I would like to have a set sleeping schedule by 6/1 so that I can have a good set sleeping schedule for college. ]]> 2021-02-27 15:50:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1248299922 trinityh1 https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1248301571 I can walk and run more to get in a cardio workout and decrease my weight by using the NRC app. I will go for a run twice a week for 1 hour and walk to and from work everyday which is a total of 1 hour daily. I will walk to and from work everyday instead of taking the bus as well as walk to and from the gym. Yes, this goal is achievable because I want to have a healthy functioning body as I enter college. My hope is that I will achieve this goal by 6/1 but continue to improve throughout 2021.

Although I jog close to 2 miles, I take multiple  Breaks to catch my breath. This goal is a reach goal because I won’t start right away, that will cause a burnout. I’ll start by increasing my distance without breaks. For example. I’ll start jogging until a few blocks and then when I feel like I want to rest, I’ll push myself further to another block or another .1 mile. Everyday I’ll increase my distance little by little.

I eat a healthy breakfast but then in the day I snack on lots of unhealthy things such as Oreos, cheese doodles, fried chicken, or even noodles and then I go workout, I know it’s a very unhealthy relationship with food so I want to change that. I’ll reach my goal of limiting my binge eating and controlling my cravings my continuing to meal prep. I found it helps me because I know that When I m hungry, I have my food ready so I won’t scan through my snacks or fridge to find something because I cannot. I also use a habit tracker to remind me when to eat. This way I don’t eat for the sake of cravings. Lastly, I use what you tuber, Alivia d’andrea would say. “Are you eating for emotion or for nutrition?” This reminder is something I try to remember daily and before I’m going to grab a food.]]> 2021-02-28 22:46:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1250981135 The deadly war against procrastination... foaziak https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1250989610  I noticed that my relationship with my schoolwork and homework hasn’t been the best. I always tend to push my work until the very last day.  I want to complete my homework which is a struggle for me like many students, when the weekend starts. I don’t want to do it all at the same time but I want to manage doing part of my homework In a specific time frame. Lately I’ve been following my maid of routine and this allows me to stay more productive than before and do things that are better for me. One thing that I just cannot do despite making my routine is homework. In order to complete my homework on time I will create an environment in my home where only I can focus on homework and studying. I will have to remove distractions which I am already beginning with. Starting from putting my devices on do not disturb mode and night mode and then deleting games like cod mobile. I even deleted Netflix and my social media accounts so that I can focus on academics. As a senior I need to focus on getting the best of my grades because college will start soon. Still unfortunately I find a way to sneak into procrastination. Additionally, I will challenge myself to complete a specific homeworkIn a timeframe using a timer. If I don’t get that complete I will restrict myself from some thing as an a K drama or watching things I like for a day. This idea of self discipline will aid me in being more productive. I hope I am able to get a grasp of this habit by the end of March]]> 2021-02-28 22:53:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1250989610 Go crazy to stay sane - Namjoon of BTS foaziak https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1251003561 Homework, college applications, scholarships, life in general. All of these things take a toll on my mental health and I find it hard to balance my mental health and all of the things going on around my life from Time to time in order for me to keep my stress hormones balanced, I will need to take steps that will first be hard for me because I am not used to them but then later on I will incorporate them in my life as a necessity. I will meditate every morning during sunrise before anyone wakes up. I will also continue to either walk, jog, or bike along my truck near my home for 45 minutes to an hour during sunset. I’ve been doing that lately and it makes me in a happier mood because it’s just me clearing my mind with a fresh breeze and the warmth of the sun. As the weather gets nicer, I’ll use that as an advantage to be more physicallyactive  outside. Hopefully, I’ll be able to meditate and do things I enjoy without feeling guilty of wasting time instead of being productive on a daily basis by the end of March.I want to incorporate these things from time to time in order to stay sane during the difficult times, like RM from BTS says.]]> 2021-02-28 23:05:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1251003561 Vanessa Salas vanessasa https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1251600213 Goal 1: I will do stretching for 5 days a week. To be specific, figure skating stretching. I have saved and downloaded 3 stretching videos to follow until I’ve memorized them. I can have my yoga mat nearby in a visible spot so I am reminded of my goal. My dear nagging mother has agreed to remind me harshly. It is realistic as it does not require the hard-core exercising and sweating that I despise. And allowing myself 2 days of rest will assure that I don't lose motivation from pressuring myself to do too much.]]> 2021-03-01 06:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1251600213 Vanessa Salas vanessasa https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1251601448 Goal 2 : Be able to do a bridge position even if not perfect. Just for funsies. To do this, I would follow my 1st goal’s plan. I believe it is a realistic goal. It is not parkour. It is not, however, something I can achieve in a few months. My body has had no exercise at all for a quite a while so its shape right now is in no state to stretch to such extreme lengths. This goal will most likely go past the deadline set in the SMART goals chart. (June 1st). But by then, I should be able to notice a difference in progress.]]> 2021-03-01 06:05:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1251601448 WafaaGoals https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1253949413 This month, I plan to drink a lot of water and eat more healthy foods like fruit.

I can give myself positive self talks when I feel down. Such talks can be like, I can do it, I need to finish this to get others done. I can also find something that I enjoy and do it to help me stay motivated. Such things are walking, going out to the park, having family picnics. On weekends, I can ask my parents to go on a picnic if the weather is nice. I can also plan with my friends to meet at the park. I can also have small walks after school with my brothers. ]]> 2021-03-01 17:20:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1254363509 Walking + Increasing minutes of activity arwaa4 https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1254384592 My fitness goal is to increase my activity minutes from 60 minutes a day to 90 minutes a day. When working out I can use my apple watch to track the minutes I have been working out. I can also create a planner that I can write down how many minutes I worked out. I can also walk everyday after school from 3-4 p.m (because that's when am usually free the most). Walking is a way to help me with my cardiovascular endurance and my minutes of physical activity. ]]> 2021-03-01 17:23:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1254384592 Fatema: Drink 4 or more cups in a day https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1255457114 I want to drink more water because I get dehydrated easily.

I want to spend at least 2 hours everyday being active whether it be just walking or doing workouts or playing badminton.  To achieve this goal, I can set reminders on my phone and laptop to be active at 8 am, 10:45 am, and 3 pm because I am usually free at those times.  I will take a walk for 30 minutes at 8 am and 40 minutes at 10:45 am. At 3 pm, I will do my workout that I have documented in my physical activity journal. If I have a bit more free time during the day, I will set an alarm for 5 pm and play badminton for an hour with my brother. I can measure my progress by starting a new timer everyday. Everytime I am active, I will start my timer and when I am done, I will pause it. That way the next time I am active, I can just pick up the time where I left off. I will be recording the final times and the breakdown of what activities I’ve done during the time on my notes app. I will know my goal is achieved when my time of activity at the end of the day is 2 hours or over. I will be active 3-4  times a day for a total of 2 hrs - 2:30 hrs a day.
To remind myself to be active, I will set an alarm at 8 am, 10:45 am, 3 pm, and sometimes 5 pm. At 8 am there will be an alarm to remind me to take a walk for 30 minutes. At 10:45 am there will be an alarm to remind me to take a walk for 40 minutes. At 3 pm there will be an alarm to remind me to do my usual workout that I record in the Physical Activity Log. At 5 pm, I will set an alarm 3 times a week to play badminton for an hour with my brother. This goal is realistic for me to achieve because I usually spend 3-4 hours everyday on my laptop procrastinating and watching netflix. It is doable because the activities are not hard, therefore I will feel more motivated to do it.
Walking at 8 am  for 30 minutes everyday. Walking at 10:45 am  for 40 minutes everyday. Working out at 3 pm  for 50-60 minutes everyday. Playing badminton with my brother for 60 minutes 3 times a week. I will achieve this goal by 6/26.

Since quarantine started, I haven’t been doing my makeup as much, which is how I express my creativity. Therefore, I usually get bored really quickly and cannot stay focused on one task. My parents are not very supportive of how I express my creativity so when I do my makeup, I usually have to take it off right after or I am rushed. I want to dedicate more time to doing my makeup or find another outlet I can express my creativity through.
I usually spend at least 3 hours a day watching netflix/youtube. I would like to decrease that time to 1 hour and spend the additional time being creative. On days that my parents are out, I will spend that time doing my makeup. On days when my parents are home, I will try to express my creativity through affinity designer or art using my sister's materials. I usually finish my work and exercising at 4 pm so I will mark how I will be spending my free time so I am not creating excuses for myself staying on my laptop.  Yes, it is doable. It is a day by day kind of goal and it is not something that will be difficult by any means. The goal of this is to give myself an outlet for creativity to help me stay in touch with who I am and what I am passionate about. 4 pm reminder for a creative activity everyday instead of my usual 3 hour Netflix run I do almost everyday. I will achieve this goal by 6/26.

In order to increase my cardio/endurance I have the option to do several different types of fun activities/sports that involve building cardio. I will be playing basketball for 1-2.5 hrs with my uncle every day after school. I will have to form a reminder on my iPhone ‘reminder’s app’ that everyday, after school hours from 3:00PM-4:30PM, I will be playing basketball outside.

To achieve this goal I need to set aside a time in the day to use the bike where I won't be interrupted or distracted by my family. I can work my way towards my goal by first starting off with maybe 2 or 3 days a week and for 15 minutes each day. As I develop stamina I can increase the time. I can keep track of my progress by using a timer when I'm working out and by also marking the days I work out in my calendar. An obstacle I might face is lack of motivation. To combat this I can tell others about my goal so that way I feel obligated to fulfill it. I definitely think my goal is doable in the next couple of months. ]]> 2021-03-02 22:41:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1261062388 gabriella52 https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1261068960 I want to eat breakfast every morning for 5 days out the week. To do this I need to look around my house for healthy food I can use to make myself breakfast. I can also talk to my mom about buying cheap but healthy breakfast food. To achieve this goal I need to set my alarm for early in the morning to get up and make myself breakfast. An obstacle I might face is having a hard time getting up in the morning. To combat this I can start going to sleep earlier. Similar to my other goal, I can work my way up to 5 days a week by first starting off with 2 or 3. I definitely think my goal is doable. ]]> 2021-03-02 22:44:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1261068960 Hiba Janah hibaj https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1266194536 I want to increase my cardiovascular endurance by jogging at least 4x a week. In order go about my goal I would need to begin to jog at least 2x a week and gradually build myself up to 3x a week, and lastly 4x a week. I would use a fitness app in order to track my goal and slowly increase my steps while increasing my endurance. When I reach about 2,000- 3,000 steps that day, it will be about 20 minutes worth of jogging. As weeks go by I can start to increase the steps and start jogging 4x a week.

In order to achieve this goal, I will drink a cup of water from the bottle of water after and before every meal and set reminders on my phone so I don’t forget to drink my water. To measure the amount of water I am drinking daily, I will be  tracking the amount of bottles I drink each time. Each time I drink a bottle of water I will write it down until I get to 6 or more bottles.

In which I would like to set a goal for myself to spend less than 5 hours on a screen time everyday.

I will start this goal by choosing an HIIT intensive video and benchmarking how far I go. After this, I intend to challenge myself by adding another minute every 2 times I do this workout.

I will use the Time limits feature to limit the amount of time I'm on a particular app. I will limit my phone usage by spending time pursuing other hobbies (piano, reading, sports) to distract me from going on my phone subconsciously. The Screentime feature on the Settings app will reflect how long I’ve browsed through certain apps. The weekly average will display the amount of hours I spent on my phone for a certain time period, encompassing my phone-free lifestyle.

I will use a stopwatch on my phone to measure the amount of time I do physical activity. I could keep track in my physical activity journal. I will need to look up different activities I can do. Some like just dance videos, yoga, and runs. Look through the smart goals resource that provides specific websites and ideas. Every week I will add at least 15 minutes to my total physical activity time. As time goes by I will increase it by higher increments. I think what could prevent me is laziness or just being very busy. I will overcome those obstacles by managing my time and assuring myself of the benefits of accomplishing my goals. I think this goal is realistic because I already do at least 55 or 60 minutes of activity. I will just be adding on time. Also my physical activity does not have to be full on workouts and instead maybe going on walks or cleaning.  will schedule the activities in the time frame after classes. I love to listen to music so that can be an uplifting aspect that can motivate me.]]> 2021-03-05 03:40:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1272327195 karend8 https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1272333559 I would like to reduce my screen time on my devices. I need to change a couple of settings on my phone. I will turn on screen time that sets a limit on how much time I use my phone. I will also change my phone to grayscale and turn on the bedtime feature. This way I am not on my phone past my “bedtime”. I can measure my progress by checking the screen time graph on my phone. This graph shows you what apps you spend the most time on and how much of that time. It also shows you what is the time you use your phone the most. It also shows your screen time throughout the day and even the week. I will know when my goal is achieved when I see a reduction statistically that my screen time has minimized.  I can leave my phone in the other room, give it to a parent, or leave it far away from me once my screen time limit is reached. I think what will prevent me from reaching my goal is the constant justification to continue using my phone and not having self control at times. However, I can overcome this by punishing myself if I go over my screen time limit. I will start by decreasing my time by half an hour and then 45 minutes each week I will increase the increments. I think it is definitely doable because I know being on my devices for too long is harmful and I need to change my habits. I think I will start March 8th and my goal is to make this a long lasting habit and if not at least June 8th. Everyday the maximum time I can have my phone and computer is going to be at 9:30 pm.

In order to accomplish this goal, I’d need to be consistent. I would have to practice at least twice a week. I’d need to improve on my upper body strength, since that is needed to hold a plank. I will work on this exercise at least twice a week. I will time myself each time I try to hold a plank and keep track of my improvement through a log. Once I reach the two minutes, I know my goal will be achieved. School and work could take away time from me achieving my goal, but I will take any free time I have to work on my goal. Yes, it is definitely doable.I will begin next week. I believe it’ll take me a month.

In order to accomplish this goal, I’d need to learn how to use my time wisely. I’d need to separate myself from my phone and focus on my school work. I need to stop staying up so late when I don’t work and get rest to attend classes the next morning. I will know my goal is achieved when I can work 25-30 hours a week whilst keeping up with my school work. I might need to set a screen timer on my phone to lock apps after a certain time so I can go to bed or do school work. Tiredness from work might keep me from achieving my goal. Since I work so much, I try to relax as much as I can but it interferes with my school work. I try not to make myself overwhelmed. I will start next week, I believe I will achieve my goal by June 1st.

I will do this by increasing the time I hold a plank in increments of 30 seconds to build up core strength and stamina. For the first 2 weeks I will start with 30 seconds each and then increase the time by another 30 seconds every 2 weeks. I will use my phone's timer when doing planks and write down how long/if I was able to hold it in my fitness journal. I will do this 4 times a day, twice in the morning/afternoon and twice in the evening. ]]> 2021-03-05 21:53:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1275713565 andreat9 https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1275740498 I want to continue to stretch at least 3 times a week. I will continue to do the stretching videos in my workout schedule, and add others when I want to spend more time on it certain days (have a pre-made playlist with my favorites). I can also write down what stretching videos I will do on my laptop and add them to my fitness journal (as well as how long they take) in order to make sure I get in ~40 minutes of stretching. To help me stay motivated, I can also have a playlist of relaxing music on in the background.

This will be done through jogging. I am planning on taking daily walks/jogs where I walk for 15 minutes as a warm-up and then move on to 30 minutes of jogging.

I want to stop slacking and start doing my homework. I plan to find a designated planner where I can document my homework and its completion. I will also have an award at the end of the week if I complete all of my homework. For example, I might treat myself to a drink from Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks.

In order to do this I need to buy a jump rope and set a reminder to jump rope. I will build up the amount of time I jump rope each day.  I will jump rope 4 times a week. For the first 2 weeks I will jump rope for 10 minutes.
For the next two weeks, I will jump rope for 15 minutes.
For the two weeks after that I will jump rope 20 minutes.
For the next two weeks I will jump rope for 25 minutes. And finally after those two weeks I will jump rope 30 minutes. Yes it is realistic since I gave myself two week intervals to work up my strength and master each jump roping cycle. I will start by March 8th and finish by June 1st.

In order to do this I will never miss my weekend classes with my dad and sign up for driving classes at a driving school. I will know when my goal is achieved when I can drive by myself and park as well with no guidance. Also I will know when I am no longer nervous when I drive. I will take weekend classes with my dad until May. Then from May to June I will take classes at a driving school. This is doable because I have already been learning for the past few months and I have made a lot of progress. I will start this Sunday, March 7th and finish by June 1st.

I can do this by specifically doing two pushups once every other day. I will slowly increase this number depending on how easy or difficult I find this to do. I will know when this goal is achieved when I am able to do 7 pushups in the same set. This goal is realistic, because it does not push myself too hard, and is obtainable.

I can do this by spending at least three hours on my phone every single day, or every other day. I will know when I have achieved this goal when my weekly screen time report comes in at the end of every single week.

I will do this by drinking a cup of water from my water bottle when I wake up, before and after meals, and before I go to sleep. I can measure my progress by using a water intake tracker app on my phone, such as Plant Nanny, that will help me keep track of how much water I am drinking each day and send me reminders each day during the times I should drink water.

Since the weather is getting warmer, walking will be much easier. I will also continue tracking my walking with my phone since it automatically tracks it.

In order to read at least 5 books a month, I will have to create a reading log to track the 5 books as well as my progress. I can use Excel spreadsheet to create my own personalized reading log to keep track of myself as I go. I would have to set apart the 5 books that I plan to read for the Month of March, April, and June and time myself appropriately so that I get to read at least 5 per month.

I will achieve this goal by other different exercises like planks to build up my upper body strength. I can measure my progress by logging a weekly check in and doing push-ups on Fridays to see how far I’ve come. This goal is accomplishable for me in this timeframe. One thing that would prevent me is a lack of motivation to do it. I could overcome that by doing this with someone else and have them hold me accountable for doing it. This goal is realistic.

I can measure my progress by logging how I feel that day as well as weighing myself.

I have been really busy with my responsibilities outside of TYWLS. I can try sleeping at 8-10 in order to keep myself up during the day. I have been waking up really early and attending classes and getting home after 10 due to work. I can measure my progress by logging it into a planner to stay organized. An obstacle I must overcome is not sleeping so late, which will mess up my ability to complete my goal. It will definitely take me about a month to complete my goal.

First, I will start walking at least 2 to 3 days a week to the park and back home. Which is a 30 min walk. Next, if I stay consistent with those 2 or 3 days a week, I will increase the number of days I should be going out for a walk. So I would at least have to go on a walk for at least 3 to 4 days a week. Then if I am really consistent with that, I will increase the distance I am walking. Which will also increase the number of minutes I walk. So I will gradually increase my activity minutes by doing that. ]]> 2021-03-13 23:33:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1306100325 Aaliyah Lightfoot https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1306101629  I would like to get into good studying habits by trying out the Pomodoro. First, I will set a small goal for the amount of time I would like to study for the day. So I would say I would want to study for about an hour a day. After 45 min, I would take a 10 min break. If I stay consistent with this method of studying, I will extend the number of hours I would have to study for the day. As well as taking breaks between those times.

I will create a youtube playlist with different guided meditation videos in order to keep track of the ones I like. I will try meditating whenever I feel is best (most likely either first thing in the morning or when I am about to fall asleep). I will create small weekly goals for meditation.

I will have an organizer on notion where I will keep track of exercise videos I like. I’ll make sure to set a specific time in the day where I will complete this exercise. I will often feel unmotivated or lazy the day of exercising because I have to find a video to follow and then find a space to complete the exercise. To prevent this I will find videos beforehand and put the links into a notion page where I can keep track of any exercise videos I find appealing. I will also label the videos based off of the muscle group it focuses on (ex: biceps/triceps, abs, quads) so I can easily find a video depending on what muscle group I want to work on.]]> 2021-03-16 01:05:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1313362717 Mayisha Fariha mayisha https://padlet.com/ywls/Spring12a/wish/1315868746 Because I enjoyed doing some workout videos at home such as the ones by Madfit and Popsugar,  which are 30 to 60  minutes long, I can add it to my routine 3 -5 times a week, if not every day. I would also go outside and take a 30-minute walk around the neighborhood or going to the park near my home in the afternoon. 
When I have time, specifically,  during the weekends, I will be playing badminton with my sister in our backyard for about 45 minutes to an hour or more every day. I will get my sister to do the workouts with me so we can motivate each other to set up a time to do the workouts and keep up a routine until it becomes a regular habit. Because I like to schedule things in my head and I use a planner to keep me on track of work, I will designate a specific time out of my day to a work out routine, go for a walk, or play badminton. For example, I can do a workout 5 - 6 every day because that is when I usually take a break and chill, so instead, I will use that time to do a workout from Youtube.

In order to track if I am getting my assignments done, I will create a schedule and a “To-DO” list on what needs to be done that day so I meet deadlines for homework.  In order to get this goal done, I would use Google Calendar and the app “Momentum” to track my To-Do Lists. So on Sunday night, I would create a schedule for Monday, which includes which classes I have to attend, add assignments that need to be done on Monday in order for it to get an ES on the plan when I will have breaks, and when I can relax. With Momentum, it will have all my assignments listed so every time I complete it, I will cross it out. I would also get a homework buddy, maybe Sanjana, so we can motivate each other to get work done. I will measure my progress by tracking how many assignments I turn on time since Google Classroom lets you know that. 
I would also treat myself with something at the end of the week for each homework I finish, whether it’s going online shopping or doing something I enjoy over the weekend.
