Step 12
Responding More Intentionally
You do not need perfect habits to handle school more effectively.
What matters more is learning to notice what is happening early, adjust when needed, and respond with more awareness instead of operating completely on autopilot.
You'll find that that skill becomes more important every year.
Core Idea
Thoughtful responses usually work better than automatic ones.

test preparation
distraction

Then complete: “The next time this situation happens, I want to respond by ______.”
Optional prompt: “The response I usually default to is ______.”
