Time Monitoring Worksheet

Time Monitoring Worksheet

In this assignment there are two parts to complete. The first is a time log in which you will monitor and write down all that you do within a 3-day time period. In the second portion of the assignment you will reflect on your completed worksheet from part 1 and write a short 250-word summary of your experience. Use the questions in Part 2: Reflection instructions to guide your writing.

Part 1: Monitor your time in hourly increments.

1- Use the Time Monitoring Worksheet to write down what you did each hour of the day, starting at 5 a.m. and ending at 10 p.m. Even if you do not get up until 10 a.m., you still need to record 5 a.m. – 9 a.m. as “sleep.”

2- Do not overdo the recording; record the primary activity for the hour. At most, record two activities per hour.

Part 2: Reflection

On day four, review your completed Time Monitoring Worksheet in order to take a serious look at how you use your time each day.

Write a 250-500-word reflection on how you manage your time. Include the following in your reflection:

1- What are some things you can do more efficiently?

2- What are the main items/tasks that take up most of your time?

3- Do you see areas in your daily routine where you can make adjustments to become more productive?

4- Do you have any “black holes” that unnecessarily suck up a lot of your time?

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

You are not required to submit this assignment to Turnitin.
