Time Management Worksheet 

 

Instructions:

You may use the worksheet for the assignment or you may choose to submit a copy of a digital calendar or another time management tool that you already use.

 

Keep the following in mind as you complete the worksheet: 1 course credit hour should equate to 5-6 hours of engagement with course materials, readings, and assignments and study time.

 

Complete one week of the calendar. Include the following categories:

• School (include Week 3 readings, activities, and assignments)

• Work

• Family/friends

• Personal time

• Sleep

 

In a few sentences, describe the changes you plan to make to your schedule to ensure adequate study time moving forward.

 

 

For reference: 

(Just so you have an idea what my real life schedule looks like.)

 

School: I’m attaching the Week 3 reading in case you may need it. For Week 3, I’m also due to complete a Patient-Centered Discussion topic (by Wednesday of that week) one peer and one faculty reply are also required for such discussion in 2 different days of the same week. In addition, I also have to complete a Scavenger Hunt Quiz, and a Reflection post for the week, both due by Sunday. 

 

Work: I work 2 days for the assigned week, Wednesday and Thursday, 12 hrs shift (7am – 7pm) at the hospital. After I get home from the hospital around 8:30pm I shower, put my son down for bed and go to bed myself around 9:30pm. 

 

Family/Friends: I have a 6 year old son, that I have to drop off (8am) and pick up from school (2:3pm) on the days that I’m off, which for the assigned week would be Monday, Tuesday and Friday. I also have to sit down and do play time with him after school, around 3:30pm. We get homework done around 5:30pm on these days that I’m off for one hour. Get him bathed by 6:30pm, dinner by 7pm, ready a bedstime story with him around 8pm and put him down to sleep by 8:30pm. 

 

Personal Time: 

Get my nails done Friday morning 10am.

Go to the gym at 9am on the days that I’m off. 

Read my e-mails, catch up with friends, do some reading, review school work, etc. 

 

Sleep: 

Go to bed around 11pm on the days that I’m off from work.
