5B How to use Time Wisely?

After completing the time study I found that aside from spending 33 hours of my week on my homework, sadly I spent 77 hours sleeping, but it does give me the energy to get through the week. When the time study was finished and I reviewed how I spent my week, I was disappointed that I only spent 21 hours just for me, and I know that right now focusing on my school work is the most important thing, but it is also important to just have some fun in my life and give my brain a rest, so in the future I want to spend more time with my friends.

            Being a commuter student I have to budget in travel time and between that and getting ready, it took up 18 hours of my week. I think this study help me to realize that if I can find a quicker way to get to Southern then I can use that extra time to get more work done, but also give me more time for relaxing and meeting new people at school but also to keep in touch with my old friends from high school as well.

            During the week study I noticed that I found myself procrastinating on work that had to be done because I felt that I didn’t have enough time to spend with my friends. This weekend was the Guilford Fair, and I had a PowerPoint project that was due on Monday for my Recreation and Leisure class, and I had yet to start it. Instead of working on the project I chose to go to the fair, not only Friday Night but I also went Saturday too and when Sunday came I felt the pressure of having to get it done but still be acceptable. I think a method that was talked about in one of the readings could help prevent procrastination and still have time to spend to do what you enjoy, and it was over-scheduling. If you give yourself more time for the things you need to get done, when you’re finished you are left with extra time that you can use to meet up with some friends or just relax.
