1. Keep a time log for a few days, noting the activities you engaged in and the amount of time you spent on each (e.g., reading, sleeping, browsing the internet, exercising, eating, studying, texting, working). Think of this like a register for a bank account where you record each transaction. At the end of the week, calculate the percentage of time you spent engaged in each activity. Compare major categories of activities to see where your time was used. You may want to use these data to create a budget in order to gain better control over where you spend your time.
