Take Initiative

When you take initiative with a cell phone, what results do you get other than eye
strain, bad posture, isolation from friends, avoidance of productive activities, and
agitated adults?

Let's look at 5 specific ways in which you - as a teen - can benefit by taking initiative.
Oh! And watch for the question that comes after each way.

Enhanced Responsibility:
Taking initiative fosters a sense of responsibility in you. When you actively seek out
opportunities, set goals, and take action to achieve them, you learn to take
ownership of your choices and actions. This increased responsibility prepares you
for the challenges and responsibilities you will face in adulthood.

responsibility?

Improved Time Management:
Initiating tasks and projects requires effective time
management skills. By taking the initiative, you learn to prioritize your commitments,
allocate time appropriately, and meet deadlines. These skills not only benefit you
in your current activities but also prepare you for managing your time effectively
in the future.

Question: How does spending 5 to 9 hours a day on your cellphone develop time
management skills?

Expanded Skill Set:
Initiating action exposes you to new experiences and opportunities for skill development.
Whether it's learning a new hobby, exploring a different subject, or taking on additional
responsibilities at home or work, the initiative allows you to broaden your skill set and
acquire knowledge beyond your comfort zone. These diverse skills can contribute to
your personal growth and increase your chances for future employment.

Question: What skill sets can you expand while spending 4 to 8 hours a day on your
cellphone?

Increased Problem-Solving Abilities:
When you take the initiative, you encounter various challenges and obstacles along the
way. This presents opportunities to develop problem-solving skills as you analyze
situations, identify potential solutions, and make informed decisions. The ability to think
critically and solve problems is highly valuable in both personal and professional situations.

Question: How does spending 5 to 9 hours a day on your cellphone help you to solve your
problems?

Building a Strong Work Ethic:
By taking the initiative, you cultivate a strong work ethic. You learn the importance of
perseverance, dedication, and hard work in achieving your goals. This work ethic can
extend to all aspects of your life, from school goals to personal relationships, and can
significantly impact your future success.

Question: Since you have so many abilities waiting to be activated right now, how will
spending so much time on your cell phone help you discover those abilities?

Note that these benefits can overlap and reinforce one another. By taking the initiative in
your personal life and work, teenagers like you can create a positive cycle of personal growth,
skill development, and increased self-confidence, setting a solid foundation for your
future endeavors.
