My weekly schedule

In INQ class, we did a study on time management. We were asked to write down our weekly schedule. It taught me a lot about how I spend my time. I realized I spent quite a bit of time watching tv, which I rarely do. But I enjoy doing it with my parents. We do more talking than watching anyways. I spend a lot of my time listening to music, doing homework and working out. 3 things that I believe are very important. I enjoy being healthy, I love music, obviously, and of course I have to do my homework. I found myself procrastinating to do my homework sometimes. I was either too tired or just wanted to do something else but I forced myself to do it that way I could nap if I wanted to, or do whatever else it was I wanted to do. I think if I were to change my schedule in any way, I'd want to spend more time studying and doing what I'm supposed to. But I also wouldn't want to be up to my ears in schoolwork, so I'd also like to plan more fun things to keep me hanging on throughout the week. But if I procrastinate less, I'll be less stressed and be able to have more fun during the week. Which is always a good thing. You never want to work too much and have no social life. I actually think I planned my schedule pretty well this week, if I can continue to do that, then I will be less stressed and college will be much easier in the long run. Time management is very important for everyone, especially college students and especially first year college students. Since we need to adjust from the transition from high school, where we had little to no work and did little to no studying, to having tons of homework and actually needing to study. When I was in high school, I never needed to study. If I payed attention in class, I did well. When I had homework, which was rare, I did it and that added to my grade. I didn't have to worry about time management. But now I do, and I'm starting to manage my time much better now, and I think writing my weekly schedule down helped.
