THE PROCRASTINATOR

• Pay overdue cell-phone bill
• Work on project due today.
• Visit a roommate or family member who has been in an accident.
THE PRIORITIZER
• Go on a date with a friend
• Work on an essay due in 30 days
• Call home
• Visit with academic advisor
THE YES MAN
• Engage in idle conversations.
• Respond to all instant messages.
• Respond to all phone calls.

Completing the Daily, Weekly, and Quarterly Time Management Grids

Weekly Time Management Grid:

1. Current class schedule. Write the name of the class on the day it occurs, please include any lab times.

2. Current work schedule. Include any weekend hours, and also give a copy of your schedule to your employer, noting exam days so you can get off work and have adequate study time.

3. Write the times you eat breakfast, lunch and dinner.

4. Actual study times. Identify routing homework and study days. Make sure this is the best time for you to study. Be sure to include regular breaks.

5. Schedule social time. All work and no play can make college life pretty boring. While it is important that you schedule time to study and complete your assignments, it is equally important to have a balance of activities that are fun! (Church, Club, Organization meetings, leisure activities, etc.)

Quarterly Time Management Grid:

1. Date each box. Write the actual date for the current quarter in the upper right

hand corner of each box.

2. Holidays. Use a highlighter to mark the university wide recognized holidays.

3. Due dates of assignments. Using your syllabi for each class, write in the dates in

which every assignment is due. This also includes any tests and quizzes, as well

as final exams.

4. Lastly, color code each class with the corresponding assignment.

5. Work backwards from exams and papers to map out study/writing time.



Daily Time Management Grid & Things to Do List:

1. Current Day. There is a grid for each day of the week. Write the actual day.

2. Plan. What are you planning on doing today? Write it down. This is the same

information from your weekly planning grid.

3. Monitor. What did you actually did in those hours? Record and track!

4. Prioritize. On the reverse side is a “things to do list.” You should record everything else you need to do on this day, (phone calls, checking mailbox, going to the bank, meeting with a friend or professor). Decide what items is high, medium, or low priority

Other important tips:

• Remember that fall quarter usually has an additional week. This means you will have to write another line for the 11th week.

• Add special notes for each weekend’s tasks and study times.

• Consider enlarging this grid or using a large 3 month calendar to fully track your assignments.

• Remember your schedule will change during finals week. That’s why it is important to include this information with item #3 above.
