Where does time go?

It may seem like there aren't enough hours in the week to get everything done. That may be true or it may be that you are not using your time as efficiently as possible. To assess where your time goes, complete the inventory below. Be as honest with yourself as possible. Some of the items are done every day and will be automatically multiplied by seven to show your weekly total. All "Number of Days" can be adjusted depending on how often you do each activity. After you have responded to all the questions, you'll have the opportunity to see how many hours remain during the week for studying.

There are 168 hours in a week. This is the number of hours that remain for studying. Most universities say that students should spend two hours studying for every hour spent in class. If the number of hours you have left in your week is not twice the number of hours that you are in class, you may need to adjust your time spent doing other activities.
