Gaming cont..Large money prizesPeople practice for

hours everyday Someone died in

2005 after a 50 hour session of Star Craft

Korean gov. banned anyone under 18 to play these games from 12 am midnight to 8 am.

PC BangPeople come to play these

online RPG’s for a small hourly fee around $10.

Many people do this rather then have the game at home on a computer.

Popular because it is a social meeting place to play with friends.

The computers are usually also top quality which would be expensive for a person to buy on their own.

Time managementWhat is it? What does it mean? How do I manage my

time? How can I improve

it?

DefinitionTime management is the

act or process of planning and exercising conscious control over the amount of time spent on specific activities, especially to increase effectiveness, efficiency or productivity.

It is a meta-activity with the goal to maximize the overall benefit of a set of other activities within the boundary condition of a limited amount of time.

For example: Morning: breakfastDay: SchoolAfternoon: sports

practiceNighttime:

HomeworkAfter HW: talk to

friendsSleep..

Think about your own schedule What do I have to

get done? Prioritize..How much can I do

and am willing to do in one day?

Don’t over schedule. We all need

relaxation time.

Time management gets more important the older you get.

More freedom as you get older, but also more responsibilities.

Stress cont..What stresses you

out? How do you relieve

that stress?

Planning is the process of thinking about

and organizing the activities required to achieve a desired goal.

involves the creation and maintenance of a plan. As such, planning is a fundamental property of intelligent behavior. This thought process is essential to the creation and refinement of a plan, or integration of it with other plans; that is, it combines forecasting of developments with the preparation of scenarios of how to react to them.

My personal goals/achievements/planGoal / Payoff Learned how to dance.Got paid to perform dance

across America and in other countries.

Learned how to rap. Made my own rap song.Learned how to skateboard. Made new friends.Spent a year living in Korea. Have people to stay with

across the world when I travel.

I did this by developing a plan, long term goals, short term goals, continual motivation, evaluation of my progression, found people who could help me.

This applies to hobbies, school, and everything you want to achieve basically.

Create your own plan based on a personal goalFor example: I want to

start a club at school.1. Purpose of club?2. Whose on the

executive board?3. Set goals for club.4. Determine how to

reach goals.5. Think of resources.6. Evaluation of how

well club goals were reached.

Mentorship Mentorship is a personal

developmental relationship in which a more experienced or more knowledgeable person helps to guide a less experienced or less knowledgeable person. However, true mentoring is more than just answering occasional questions or providing ad hoc help. It is about an ongoing relationship of learning, dialogue, and challenge.

Mentoring is a process for the informal transmission of knowledge, social capital, and the psychosocial support perceived by the recipient as relevant to work, career, or professional development; mentoring entails informal communication, usually face-to-face and during a sustained period of time, between a person who is perceived to have greater relevant knowledge, wisdom, or experience (the mentor) and a person who is perceived to have less (the protégé)”.

Why is this important? We all need help.Older people have gone

through similar situations and know the pitfalls in life.

They can provide encouragement and practical plans for dealing with personal dilemmas.

We all go through hard times, having someone similar in age and experience, but ahead on their road of life can be very beneficial.

Any other reasons why mentorship might be good?
