Answer the following questions in complete sentences:

1. Are you surprised about where you are spending most of your time? Explain.
Not really, everything on my list is something I do everyday so i'm use to it now

2. Name one Instant Zone activity you can stop doing right now. Now, think of a Lasting Zone
activity you can replace it with. Example: Instant Zone: I will stop drinking Mountain Dew.
Lasting Zone activity to replace it with: I will drink water.
Instead of watching TV for hours, I will do homework and study instead

3. Write down one thing from your Instant Zone and explain why it is bad for you. Locate one
online source that supports why it is bad for you. Be sure to include the link to the website.
Ex: You might find a website that shows drinking too much soda can help cause diabetes.
Watching TV is bad for me because too much of it can lead to increased risks of
obesity, poor sleep, and depression and could increase the risk for CVD or early
death by up 50%. Source: https://www.verywellhealth.com/binge-watching-and-

%20or%20fewer%20hours%20daily.

4. Write down one thing from the Lasting Zone and explain why it is good for you. Locate
one online source that supports why it is good for you. Be sure to include the link to the
website. Spending time with family is good for me because spending time with family
can help reduce stress and anxiety, lead to a healthier lifestyle and lengthen your
life. Family gives you motivation to be the best version of yourself Source:
