This assignment will help you develop an important skill for college <strong>and</strong> everyday life – time management. For this<br />
assignment, you will keep an informal time log in which you note all your activities for 3 days, from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.<br />
Then, you will review your activities to identify times when you were not productive. You should use this information<br />
for planning ways to make better use your time.<br />
Part 1: Monitor Your Time in Hourly Increments<br />
1. Use “Time Monitoring Worksheet” to write down what you did each hour of the day, starting at 5 a.m. <strong>and</strong><br />
ending at 10 p.m. Even if you do not get up until 10 a.m., you still need to record 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. as “sleep.”<br />
2. Do not overdo the recording; record the primary activity for the hour. At most, record two activities per hour.<br />
Part 2: Reflection<br />
On day four, review your completed “Time Monitoring Worksheet” in order to take a serious look at how you use your<br />
time each day.<br />
Write a reflection (250-500 words) on how you manage your time. Include the following in your reflection:<br />
1. What are some things you can do more efficiently?<br />
2. What are the main items/tasks that take up most of your time?<br />
3. Do you see areas in your daily routine where you can make adjustments to become more productive?<br />
4. Do you have any “black holes” that unnecessarily suck up a lot of your time?<br />
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.<br />
You are not required to submit this assignment to Turnitin.<br />
