Your task is to record your time over a seven day period. You may use the 24 hour schedule in Eagle Online or create your own word document.
Step 1: Record your time for 7 days
Step 2: Think about the top three things you value most, maybe school, family, work, your health, etc. and record for later use.
Step 3: Add up how much time you spent over the entire week in the following categories:
- Sleeping
- School
- School work
- Work
- Leisure
- Family
Step 4: Divide the hours you spent in each category by 168 (the total number of hours in a 7 day period).
Ex. Sleeping – 36 hrs. / 168 = 0.2142857
Move the decimal place two places to the right and drop the remaining numbers to determine the percentage.
Ex. 0.214 = 21%
Therefore 21% of your time was spent sleeping.
Step 5: Create a pie chart that represents the categories above and your values. Illustrate how much of your time was spent doing each activity.
Step 6: Reflect on your time management and write a paragraph to answer the following question: How does the time you spend align with your values? If you are having a hard time managing your time, remove the items that do not align with your values!
Submission: You are required to submit three items. You may combine all of the items onto one document:
- A copy of the time sheet with all of your activities recorded on the sheet.
- A visual representation of your time on a pie chart with percentages and your calculations.
- A one paragraph reflection on how your time aligns with your values.
