December: Managing Impulsivity
December: Managing Impulsivity
“A person who is able to manage their impulsivity well will take the time to consider alternatives, gather information and come to a considered conclusion. They are able to set goals, prioritize and keep their plans on track. They tend to be thoughtful and considered in their actions, rather than rash and hurried.” Habits of Mind by Costa and Kallick.
What is it? – Thinking before acting
Sounds like – “Just a minute, let me think” “What will happen if I do this?” “What’s the right thing for me to do now?”
Looks like – Examining directions before beginning a task. Pausing. Creating space between a thought and a response.
Feels like – Slow down. Take a deep breath. Count to ten. Pause to think. This person cares enough to really listen to me.

Guided Discussion 12.07.20
1. Think of a time when you have tried to rush results when patience may have produced a healthier outcome. Describe the alternative outcome.
2. What would make you wait for a better result rather than taking the first or quickest alternative?
3. When is it important to struggle with a problem rather than get a quick solution? Describe times when you have struggled and made it to a successful outcome. Likewise, describe times when you realize that you should have been more patient.
Situation #1: You are working on your classwork at home on your remote day, the videos are not engaging. What is your impulse? What other options do you have?
Situation #2: You are working on an assignment at home and get stuck on a question. What is your impulse? What other options do you have?
