For my concept board, I wanted to focus on activities that I have participated in while in quarantine. I reflected on the ways that I have spent my free time throughout the past few weeks. I realized that I was spending the majority of my time watching Netflix and scrolling through social media. While I still want to engage in these activities, I realized that there are more beneficial ways for me to spend my free time, such as finding new hobbies or interests that lead to a more active lifestyle.
In my concept map, I used a variety of images that showcase different activities that I have and will continue to engage in, and activities that I am interested in doing in the future. The larger images on my concept map are activities that I am more interested in either doing or doing more of in quarantine; the smaller images are activities that I want to engage in less. I tried to use warmer tones, such as oranges and yellows, and green colors to portray a more lively, yet also tranquil environment. While I am interested in being more active and motivated, I also want to use this time for self-care and relaxation.
This past week, I decided to start reading for leisure instead of solely reading for school. When I was younger, I loved to read, however, since high school, I found myself with little time to read outside of school. I had limited access to WiFi yesterday, so I decided to read all day and I remembered the value and enjoyment of reading. Also, it has been difficult for me to focus on my work, as now, I associate being home with summer break. I am trying to create a schedule that includes time to workout, finish my homework, and watch television or read a book. I want to find a balance between productivity and motivation, and relaxation and self-care.
