TIME MANAGEMENT<br />

Having sufficient time to meet all of your commitments<br />

requires planning. Before you can control your time<br />

usage you must understand where it goes.<br />

For three typical days list everything you do over the<br />

whole day. Break the day up into:<br />

- before school - at school - after school - sleep.<br />

Summarize your time usage and fill in the gaps below.<br />

How much time do you spend:<br />

• sleeping _______ • eating ________<br />

• home study _______ • travelling ________<br />

• at school _______ • sport/exercising ________<br />

• part-time job _______ • other ________<br />

• leisure/TV/friends _______<br />

Total _______<br />

Remember, there are 168 hours in a week.<br />

Are there any glaring time wasters? If so, list them and be<br />

aware of when they occur.<br />

A key to your future is your education so study is a full-time<br />

commitment and must be viewed as such. One workable<br />

strategy is to allocate 38 hours per week to lessons and<br />

study. This is the same number of hours as full-time work.<br />

For example, if you attended 25, 50 minute classes (about<br />

<strong>20</strong> hours), you should spend 18 hours minimum studying at<br />

home. It is vital to relax and pursue leisure activities for about<br />

12 hours per week, to create a balanced lifestyle.<br />

Aim for your Study Timetable to tailor<br />

your lifestyle, bearing in mind that weekly:<br />

• 38 hours academic time minimum<br />

• sometimes ‘overtime’ will be<br />

necessary<br />

• compulsory ‘time out’ of about<br />

12 hours<br />

• self-discipline and purpose are<br />

the keys.<br />

Each week revisit your plan, taking<br />

into account any time wasters from<br />

the previous week.<br />
