REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity Core Values

What are your top 3-5 core values? How did you narrow it down to those as being your core values?

Chance Ritchey (cho 101) 10/22/2023 7:44 PM

My core values are communication, curiosity, and kindness. I narrowed it down based on what I would like to show and be treated. Curiosity comes into play because I like to learn things in general and gain more skills as I continue to experience life.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity Go For A Daily Walk Outside

Fresh air and movement are good for our entire being and can help us think more clearly and creatively. How does taking a walk each day affect yourself and/or your work?

Chance Ritchey (cho 101) 10/21/2023 8:19 PM

Whenever I have something big coming up, like a test, I usually take a walk because it helps calm me and take my mind off of the stresses. Generally, I have found myself to be more academically successful when I take walks.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity Limit Social Media

Social media can keep us connected with loved ones, make us laugh, and help us to learn new things. It can also create echo chambers and take more time than we realize or intend to give. After completing this action for a few days, how do you feel? What do you notice?

Chance Ritchey (cho 101) 10/21/2023 8:17 PM

I feel fine, not much has changed since limiting social media because I mainly use it as entertainment like with YouTube. So, spending time elsewhere is how I have managed and sometimes I can find myself more productive, but not much has changed otherwise.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity Needs Vs. Wants

How is creativity a necessary ingredient for practicing simplicity?

Chance Ritchey (cho 101) 10/08/2023 9:46 PM

Creativity is needed because deciding what to reduce can be tricky and requires one to be efficient. One such thing can be getting an appropriate amount of food if I consume a lot of snacks. So, lowering that and increasing portions during lunch is better for simplicity.
