# Slides 2.6: Time and Energy as Resources

Slide outline for Lesson 2.6. Twelve slides. Slide 5 is a sample audit; Sal's own works better than a fictional one if he is willing. Slide 8 carries the sleep numbers; confirm them against the current CDC page before teaching.

## Slide 1: Time and Energy as Resources

- Lesson 2.6: Goals and Decisions
- Unit 2: Me, My Goals, My Money
- Today: where did yesterday's 24 hours go, and did your first rung get any of them?
Image: a clock face divided into 24 wedges, a few wedges shaded.
Notes: Hand back the scored Goal Plans at the door. Students need the first rung.

## Slide 2: Do now

- Guess: how many hours did you sleep last night?
- Guess: how many hours were you on a screen yesterday? Phone, games, TV, all of it
- Two numbers. No counting yet
Notes: Write six guesses on the board in two columns. Say: in ten minutes you will know the real numbers. Most people are wrong about both, in the same direction.

## Slide 3: Three resources

- A resource is something you have a limited amount of and can spend
- Money: you can earn more
- Energy: you can rest and get more
- Time: 24 hours a day, every day, and you cannot earn more
- Where it goes is a choice, even when it does not feel like one
Notes: Keep this short. The audit is the lesson.

## Slide 4: The ten categories

- 1. Sleep (bed). 2. School (school). 3. Homework (pencil). 4. Screens for fun (phone). 5. Sports, clubs, practice (ball)
- 6. Chores (broom). 7. Eating, when it is the main thing (plate). 8. Family and friends in person (two people). 9. Travel (bus). 10. Everything else (clock)
- The total must be 24
- If it is not 24, something is hiding
Image: the ten picture cues in a row.
Notes: Grade 6 uses six categories: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10. Students copy the list onto Part 1.

## Slide 5: A sample audit

- Sleep 7, school 7, homework 1, screens 4, sports 1, chores 0, eating 1, family and friends 1, travel 1, everything else 1
- Total: 24
- Two biggest: school and sleep, then screens
- Guess was: sleep 8, screens 2
Image: a pie chart of the numbers above, screens as a visible wedge.
Notes: [Sal: your own numbers, if you are willing. A teacher who shows 6 hours of sleep and 3 of screens makes the lesson honest.] This slide is also the fallback for a student who cannot recall yesterday.

## Slide 6: Count yours

- Yesterday. Not a normal day, not a good day. Yesterday
- Whole hours. Overlap counts once, in the bigger category
- Add it up. 24 or find what is hiding
- Color the bar. Circle your two biggest
- Write the real sleep and screen numbers next to your guesses
- 8 minutes
Notes: Circulate. Totals of 27 or 21 are the normal errors: overlap or the bus. Nobody grades the hours; you grade the total.

## Slide 7: The four boxes

- Urgent: it has a clock on it. Something will make you deal with it soon
- Important: it moves a goal or a value
- Box 1: urgent and important. Box 2: important, not urgent. Box 3: urgent, not important. Box 4: neither
- One finger to four fingers: 1. Homework due tomorrow. 2. Free throws for a March tryout. 3. A group chat blowing up. 4. Scrolling for an hour. 5. Studying Monday for a Friday test. 6. A friend needs a ride right now. 7. Saving $5 this week for the bike. 8. Reorganizing your apps
Image: a two-by-two grid with a clock over the left column and a star beside the top row.
Notes: Answers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 1, 2, 4. Task 5 is the argument: box 2 on Monday, box 1 on Thursday night. That is how box 2 things become emergencies. Then students sort four of their own.

## Slide 8: Where does your first rung land?

- Almost always box 2: important, not urgent
- That is why it does not happen. Nothing forces it
- The fix: you put it on the calendar yourself
- That is what the rest of today is for
Notes: Say this sentence slowly. It is the one they should remember.

## Slide 9: Sleep is a resource

- Ages 6 to 12: 9 to 12 hours a night
- Ages 13 to 18: 8 to 10 hours a night
- Short sleep the next day: attention drops, mood drops, memory drops
- The second lap: tired people spend more time on screens and less on the goal
- Source: American Academy of Sleep Medicine, as published by the CDC
Notes: [Sal: confirm the current CDC numbers and agree on them with the health teacher.] Leave sleep hygiene (screens before bed, caffeine) to health unless they ask you to cover it.

## Slide 10: Your sleep window

- A bedtime and a wake time that give you at least the bottom of your range
- Bed at ___, up at ___, that is ___ hours
- Compare to last night's real number
- Part 3, 5 minutes with the next slide
Notes: An 11:30 to 6:30 window is 7 hours and meets neither range. Do not mark it wrong; ask what would have to move.

## Slide 11: Your week

- Rule 1: the sleep window goes in first, every night
- Rule 2: the first rung of your ladder goes in second, on one day at one hour
- Rule 3: honesty. Name one thing from your audit you will move or cut to make room
- Partner check: is the first rung actually reachable that day?
- 8 minutes
Image: the week grid from the handout, with a sleep bar across every night and one block on Tuesday labeled "first rung."
Notes: The check is a day and an hour, and the sleep window on all seven nights. "This week sometime" is not a plan. Grade 8 schedules two rungs and marks the energy cost of each.

## Slide 12: Exit card and what comes next

- My guess for sleep was ___ and the real number was ___
- My first rung is scheduled for ___ (day and hour)
- One thing I am moving to make room: ___
- This sheet gets stapled to your Goal Plan. Both come back in four weeks
- Next: Money Basics. Same rule: it has to add up, and what matters goes in first
Notes: Three students read the first line aloud. Collect. Sort into "got it" (day and hour, sleep window in range, a named cut) and "needs more." Say the last line: in Topic 2.3 you do this same audit with dollars.
