Choose ONE item to DO NOW!

One of the activities in this class will be to get the bucket list "ball" rolling:
**Choose one item that you are going to tackle before you leave this class.
**Create a blog post that showcases that item.

Create the Plan.
Hook:
1.Why do you even want to do this one?
2. Why did you choose this one to do now?
3. What will be the challenges in doing this one activity?
4. What will be the benefits?
5. What will people have to say about you doing/achieving this one activity?
6. What might happen as a result?
7. Paint a picture of how you will execute (your plan)

Here is an example:

Go to bed no later than 10 for an entire week is the first item on my bucket list that I will complete before I leave this class. I know that by going to bed early I will on my "A" game and will feel more energized and less stressed. I chose to do this one now because lack of sleep has started to take a toll on my energy, focus, and creativity. Of course this item is on my bucket list because it doesn't come easy to me; therefore, I will have some challenges in completing this item. The largest complication I see having is making sure I stick to a "beginning to wind down" time, so that by the time 9:30 rolls around, I am not left with 15 missions to accomplish in 30 minutes. Organizing my "free" time will be another major challenge, but I know I can do this! The benefits are plenty: I will be more awake and alert, be more accomplished in my day, and be a better tole model for students. Friends of mine might think I will never accomplish it, or that it won't be long before I fall off the rocker and no great gain will be accomplished. I am sure that students will think I am crazy and my colleagues will be jealous. My boss will feel I am being more responsible, because my day after I leave school will be more organized. I am going to begin this task by.....(finish #7)
