Time Management
Through this essay, I plan to show how I will productively manage my time while I attend
college. Although this calendar is very subject to change, its a good conductor of how I will be spending
most of my time.
Below is a chart of how I currently spend my time in high school. It is based off my average
routines and schedule.

Looking ahead on what my schedule might look like in college, I created some classes based off
of information from the ASU course catalog. Through this table I was able to see how much time I would
be spending in my studies and much little time I would have for my other activities that I am currently
doing.

To get the closest idea of what my college schedule will look like, I asked a few of my college
friends to tell me how many hours they spend doing certain activities. I compared their answers to my
daily routine and priorities and constructed a model for myself.

After looking at my current time chart and my predicted college time chart my percentages of
time for daily activities has remained fairly the same. Of course I have had to cut out some time from
other things to get more homework and studying time, but other than that, all remained fairly close to
my current schedule. I am surprised however, that from the data I collected I will be receiving more
sleep in college then I am currently. I will also have much less time to care for my personal hygiene then
I due currently because of early college sport practices and closely timed classes. That worries me a little
because I care about keeping my hygiene up, but I will just have to practice how to get ready faster and

more efficiently in the mornings. I believe that once I make the choice of what college I will be attending
and the schedule for their dive practices, it will be a lot easier to find ways to manage my time. Im
looking forward to finding the best plan for me as I journey down this new and unfamiliar road.
