Where does all the time go?

I never realized where my days went and what I was doing with them until last week. Ever since I started college, I felt that my days became a routine, doing the same thing over and over again every day. When I was asked to chart out my schedule for a week, it gave me a chance to see where all the hours of my day actually went. This study showed me that there’s actually a routine in my day. I really am doing the same thing every day and there isn’t much variety, or much time for me to change anything. From the looks of my chart, it seems as though I spend most of my days focused on homework. There is a lot of free time in my day, and that’s usually when I do homework, but I tend to combine homework and personal time, which isn’t the best thing to do. Usually about 5 to 7 hours a day is spent on doing homework while maybe 1 or 2 is spent on personal time for myself. There isn’t any one thing that took up most of my time; all my activities seem pretty equal and balanced. On my chart, I included sleeping hours, which makes it look like that takes precedence. I feel that I did procrastinate quite a lot, especially when it came to my history essay (which, I’m working on at the moment because of how bad I procrastinated). I knew it had to get done, and when I saw how much I had to do for it, it scared me because of how much there was to take in. So, I put it off until the last minute so I knew that I would do it. I tend to have a better idea of how to organize it when I wait. Time management is something that I really need to work on, in order to better plan my time, I should probably go through my syllabus, and write down all the homework assignments that I know need to get done at the beginning of the week this way there won’t be any surprises. It’ll keep me focused and stop me from spending my time doing not much of anything. From this, I can take away that I need to learn better time management and prioritize assignments and other activities. This can be applied to the remainder of the semester, and in life as well.
