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 />
