A Weekly Study Schedule

Evaluating Your Use of Time

A weekly study schedule will make you aware of how much time you have each week and help you use that time effectively. Before you prepare a weekly study schedule, however, you need to understand how you spend your time each day. The following activity will help you evaluate your current daily use of time.

Activity

The daily schedule of one student, Rich, follows. Look over his plan to see how he spends his time.

(Langan, 1978/1989, pp. 136)

Rich has three classes. Assuming that every hour of the course should receive at least one hour of study time, how could Rich revise his schedule to have at least three total study hours in addition to time for "rest and relaxation? Make your suggested changes by crossing out items and adding study time to his schedule.

Find the Time and Activity Worksheet below and use the chart to record a typical school day in your life. Be honest: You want to see what you are doing so that you can plan ways to use your time more effectively. When you are done, please submit your worksheet.

Then evaluate your use of time in the following discussion.

Note: People sometimes learn from their schedules that they are victims of a time overload, for they have taken too much work on themselves with too little time to do it. If you think this is your case, you should talk with your counselor about possibly dropping one or more courses.
