Academic Tips: Time Management

Before you can start using your time efficiently, you need to know how many hours you have available each week to study for your classes and standardized tests. Begin by filling out this chart, tracking how much time you spend in class, traveling to and from school, and sleeping.  Don’t forget to include the hours you spend participating in extracurricular activities, performing chores, and socializing (using AIM counts!).  Add up the weekly totals, then subtract that number from 168, the total number of hours in a week.  The difference between the two numbers represents how many hours you have per week to study.

Being realistic about how much time you have to study and complete homework will help you to set realistic goals and eliminate time-wasting activities.
