Complete the activities below to apply and deepen your learning from this module. 
Activity 1: Design Your Ideal Weekly Schedule 
Type: Planning Activity   ·   Estimated Time: 25 minutes 
What to do: 
1. Create a weekly timetable grid for 7 days (Mon –Sun) with time slots from 6am to 10pm. 
2. First, block in your NON-NEGOTIABLES in green: school, meals, sleep (aim for 8 –9 hours per 
night). 
3. Next, block in STUDY TIME in blue: use the Pomodoro method (25 min study, 5 min break). 
4. Block in PHYSICAL ACTIVITY in orange: at least 30 minutes of movement per day. 
5. Add SOCIAL / DOWNTIME in yellow: time with friends, hobbies, screen time. 
6. Add one SELF-CARE activity per day in purple: e.g., reading, meditation, a bath, journaling. 
7. Review your schedule: Does it feel balanced? Is there anything missing? 
8. Share one thing about your schedule with the class: What was hardest to include? 
Reflection Questions: 
• Where did you find hidden time you did not know you had? 
• What did you have to give up to make space for self-care? 
?  Teacher Tip: A written schedule reduces decision fatigue — you don't have to think 
about what to do next, you just follow the plan. 
 
Activity 2: Habit Tracker Challenge 
Type: Behaviour Tracking Activity   ·   Estimated Time: 2 weeks 
What to do: 
9. Choose 5 healthy habits you want to build. Examples: drinking 8 glasses of water, sleeping by 
10pm, 10 minutes of reading, no screens 30 min before bed, one act of kindness. 
10. Create a simple tracker grid: 5 rows (one per habit) x 14 columns (one per day). 
11. Each day, tick the habits you completed. 
12. At the end of week 1, count your ticks for each habit. Calculate your completion percentage. 
13. Reflect at the end of week 2: Which habit was easiest to maintain? Which was hardest? 
14. Write 3 sentences about why consistency — even when imperfect — is more important than 
perfection.

Reflection Questions: 
• What helped you stay consistent? What got in the way? 
• How do small daily habits connect to long-term mental and physical health? 
?  Teacher Tip: Missing one day does not break a habit. Getting back on track the next day 
is what builds resilience.
