Check Your Habits

What are your current digital habits? (Keep in mind: Habits can be positive, negative, or both.
Brainstorm and list as many of your habits as you can.)

- I check Twitter to see any updates of my celeb crush - :3c

Next, draw (or insert) an emoji next to each habit to show how it makes you feel.

Part 3: Personal Challenge

Considering your responses in Part 1 and 2, use the steps below to create a personal challenge.
Choose

Choose one digital habit you want to change or to try to do differently. Why is it important that you
change this habit?

There really isn’t something I’d change with my habits because I don’t really use it [Twitter] much in
the first place

Challenge

Challenge yourself. Make a plan for how you would like to change your habit. Consider when you
will do something different and what you can do instead. (When we're trying to change a habit, it's
not enough just to say what we won't do. We also have to come up with something to do instead!)
