5 B - Time – never enough

It was very interesting to do this time study. I have never thought of how much time I actually spent doing different things before.  I was surprised to learn that most of my time was spent sleeping.   I spent 75 hours sleeping in one week.  The second largest amount of my time was spent on time with my friends. Over all I spent about 22 hours doing work outside of the classroom.  I did not spend the 30-40 hours doing work outside of class. What I found I procrastinated on the most was getting my school work completed.  I would like to be able to complete my work early, so I don’t have to rush at the last minute to get it done.  I always procrastinate, when in all reality I know that I should get it done right away.  Then I can do other things I enjoy without having to worry about my work.  I would like to devote more time to reading and organizing my notes.  I think that I have to schedule more time into my week for reading, so that I have a better understanding of the concepts presented in my classes.  Reading was never one of my favorite things to do.  Sometimes I need to read things over more than once to understand it completely.  Extra time, set aside in my week would really help me with this.  I want to tackle the tasks that I can do well and efficiently first.  Then later on in the week some of the tasks that I think may be a little more time consuming or difficult, I will have extra time set aside to get them completed. This will eliminate me being under pressure to complete them.  The most important thing that I will take away from this study is that you only have a certain amount of time to complete your tasks, and you should try to use it as wisely, and as efficiently as possible.
