Time Commitment Worksheet

Print and fill-in the following worksheet, with required times first (i.e., work, classes), then other commitments including sleep and study times (plan 2-3 hours of study for every hour of class).

Next, analyze how you spend your time. Use the chart above to count up total hours in each area. How much time each week do you spend on each?

We all have 168 hours each week. You have now taken a look at how committed your time is:

• If you have more than 168 hours committed, you cannot "fit" everything into a week. You will need to look at modifying some commitments to give yourself the time you need.
  
• If you have many hours less than the 168 hours committed, you have choices as to when you want to study based on what's "best" for you. Without committing time for study, it may be too easy to feel, "I'll do it later."
