ASSIGNMENT 02: Sleep Journal

Over the next week, keep a sleep journal where you track your sleep patterns, quality of sleep, and how your rest affects your daily performance. Reflect on any adjustments you need to make to improve your sleep and overall well-being. Use this journal to identify any trends or habits that may be impacting your rest.

ASSIGNMENT 03: Personal Offsite Planning

Plan and schedule a personal offsite—dedicated time away from your daily responsibilities for reflection and goal-setting. Develop an agenda that includes key areas you want to focus on, such as career goals, personal development, and self-care. Choose a conducive environment that allows you to think clearly and recharge.

ASSIGNMENT 04: Endowment Effect Reflection

Reflect on how the endowment effect influences your decision-making in both personal and professional contexts. Consider how this bias might cause you to overvalue certain aspects of your life or work simply because you own or created them. Identify any areas where you may need to challenge this bias to make more objective, strategic decisions.

These assignments are designed to help you apply the concepts of self-care, strategic planning, and reflection in a practical and meaningful way. By completing these exercises, you’ll be better equipped to maintain your well-being, achieve your goals, and continue developing as a leader.
