Introduction

An introduction paragraph that summarizes how you collected data and what you will cover in the paper. Refrain from analysis.

My Overall Use of Time

The body of your paper in which you address the following topics

Before analyzing your own data, review the following:

Address the following:

• Describe your overall time use.
• What surprised you about your patterns?
• Describe your technology use and your social/alone time.
• Compare your leisure time to national trends.

My Emotions and Stress Variables

Address the following:

• Your overall level of stress and emotional state.
• Trends (e.g., times of highest/lowest stress, happiest/least happy moments).
• Activities connected to shifts in emotions or stress levels.

Leisure’s Connection to My Health and Wellness

Using class content and scholarly readings, address the following:

• How your leisure supports your health/wellness.
• How your leisure detracts from your health/wellness.
• What you would like to change to improve your wellbeing.

AIGenerated Summary & Analysis of My Constraints

Review course content surrounding leisure constraints (intrapersonal, interpersonal, structural) and negotiation strategies (negotiation, substitution, accommodation) from the Hierarchical Model of Constraints. Next, use AI to assist to generate solutions to your leisure constraints.

Note: A downloaded copy of your conversation with AI will be submitted as part of your assignment.

Place the prompt provided into your PSU Microsoft Copilot account. This protects your data. The prompt is the beginning of your conversation with AI.

Analyze the AI output to determine whether you agree with its suggestions and what is/is not valuable for your own lifestyle.

Microsoft Copilot AI Prompt

Ask me to list my personal constraints in each of the three categories from the Hierarchical Model of Constraint. I may use bullet points or short phrases. Be honest there are no right or wrong answers. Once I have provided them, give me realistic, personalized recommendations to help me overcome these constraints and participate in recreation or leisure more effectively.

1. Intrapersonal Constraints (Internal feelings, thoughts, or psychological factors that influence your participation)
2. Interpersonal Constraints (Social or relational factors that influence your participation)
3. Structural Constraints (External or environmental factors that influence your participation)

Respond to the following to analyze the AI’s output in your paper:

• Identify at least two things where AI’s output was correct, insightful, or wellsupported by your data in its analysis of your constraints
• Two things that were inaccurate, incomplete, or made assumptions that were not supported by your Time Diary or personal experience.
• Explain whether you agree with the AIs recommendations and justify your reasoning.

Conclusion

A conclusion paragraph that describes key findings from the assignment.

References

A references page (on a separate page, does not count towards page total).
