Time Management

168 hours/week
35 in school
49 for sleep
15 for eating
-----------------------
69 hours left

There are 168 hours in a 7 day week.  You spend 35 of these hours in school and about 49 hours are used to sleep.  Around 15 hours are used for eating meals.  So that leaves about 69 hours for working, playing, studying, watching TV, etc.  How do you use these hours?

Setting long and short range goals will help you manage these hours so that you can do the things you have to do and also have time to do the things you want to do. 

Goals are what you want to accomplish.  For example, as you approached (or are approaching) 15 years old, you probably wanted to drive as soon as possible.  You decided that there were certain things you needed to do to get your driver's license.  What  were they? 

Long range goals are those goals that you want to accomplish in the future and short range goals are the goals you want to accomplish "tomorrow".  Let's use the driver's license example.  The long-range goal for a 14 year old is to ___________.  The short range goals, the activities to accomplish this were___________.

Next, choose one of your long-term goals and develop five short term goals or steps that will help you accomplish this long term goals.  For example, if your long-term goal is to get a job at the mall, then a short-term goals may be to visit the store in person to complete an application or to complete a job application online.
