Week One

Decision Making Process

1. State the situation: How many nights a week do I stay home?
   
2. List the options: be away all four nights, be away two nights, just be away one night
   
3. List the outcomes: Mrs. Hindy would feel better if I spent just one night out, less good for two nights, not good at all if I spent all four nights out.
   
4. Values: I value spending time with my family.
   
5. What was your decision?: I decided to be away from home on Wednesday night
   
6. Evaluate: I thought this was a good decision. I like spending time at home and would be able to get the notes from a meeting I was supposed to attend. I was also fortunate enough to get some coverage for the theater on Monday night.
   

Positive Lifestyle Factors: Spending quality time with family

1. This week I was able to find some coverage at the theater so that I would be able to spend some time at home. Also, I was able to skip a meeting in Waverly for some adventure education training. I like spending time with Thomas and Mrs. Hindy
   
2. The need to do work at home hurts this lifestyle factor sometimes. Mrs. Hindy and I both have much to do at school and even when we get home. Preparation for teaching occurs all the time.
