This article is full of great advice on managing your time.
Simple rules can keep people on task. Efficient schedules are a habit and a lifestyle. If you have bad habits it can be very difficult to adapt to a more productive study and work schedule.
Here is my personal time survey:
1. 8 X 7 = 56 Number of hours of sleep each night
2. .5 X 7 = 3.5 Number of grooming hours per day
3. 1.5 X 7 = 10.5 Number of hours for meals/snacks per day - include preparation
4. 1.5 X 5 = 7.5 Total travel time weekdays
5. 2 Total travel time weekends
6. 1-2 Number of hours per week for regularly scheduled functions (clubs, church, get-togethers, etc.)
7. 1 X 7 = 7 Number of hours per day for chores, errands, extra grooming, etc.
8. 16 Number of hours of work per week
9. 8 Number of hours in class per week
10. 5 Number of average hours per week socializing, dates, etc. Be honest!
11. Now add up the totals 117.5
12. Subtract the above number from 168 - 117.5 = 50.5
The remaining hours are the hours you have allowed yourself to study.
Ooh, I get 50 Hours a week to study! or 7.2 Hours per day.
I must have dome something wrong.
Or perhaps this survey is designed to show how much time we waste not studying.
It's a little disconcerting that they have listed every valuable daily activity. If it isn't on the list then it's intruding on my study time!
