According to the Keirseys Personality Temperament Sorter test taken in class, I am an Idealist Counselor that has an Introvert, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging (INFJ) personality. Each of the results pertains to my personality and influences my life plans such as my career goals. The design has always let me support my creative side. Thus, I believe that my personality type as a Counselor has helped me to decide to be a designer who is equipped with creative ideas, imagination, and a profound way of looking at the world. Moreover, through Kalils True Colors assessment, I resulted in Gold where I approached my life plan in a structured way. I create plans and organize my life to achieve the goals that will be talked about in the paper.
In class, I tracked what I did during my free time in my Leisure Journal, and filling out The Leisure Well-Being Inventory by McDowell (2008) has helped me better understand the role leisure plays in my life. I found that I regularly enjoy expressing myself through art and music (McDowell, 2008, Gener
al Interests section) as part of leisure. Moreover, my leisure involvement could be turned into a source of income after I graduate. Since I am pursuing a degree in Design (McDowell, 2008, Resourcefulness section). In 5, 0, and 5 years, I anticipate changes in the use of my time and search for ways to improve it. In doing that, I need to identify first my priorities and know the difference between what is necessary and what is expendable. Knowing how to manage my time well and be productive will help me in the long run and achieve my life plan goals smoothly. I will continue to track my time daily because this, will help me improve focus, accountability, productivity, and planning. Most importantly, time tracking has helped me think more clearly about how I spend my time. I can see at a glance where I am spending too much time on activity and not enough on others and also find patterns in my behavior. Moreover, I will be aware of where the precious minutes of your life are going and appreciate how much time there really is in a day.
