Materials: cardstock, pens, markers, stickers, washi tape, etc.
Procedure: Consider the mantra: "Do More of What Matters." Make art related to this quote. If the person is having difficulty identifying what matters, start with values clarification. After directive and processing are completed, put artwork someplace visible as a visual reminder to Do more of what matters.
Processing:
What matters to you?
What are some things that take you away or distract you from working towards what matters?
How can you get intentional about minimizing the effects of these distractions/interruptions?
Are there any small changes you can commit to making that would allow you to focus more on what matters?
Rationale: To create a visual representation of an important abstract concept. To tack down thoughts that have the potential to reorient our lives toward meaning and purpose.
Discussion: Time is a non-renewable resource, and the way we habitually use our time ultimately shapes the life we either get to live or the life we have to live. We want to use our time intentionally and minimize meaningless interruptions and distractions that deplete our time and energy.
