It’s difficult to plan your personal time if you don’t know how you’re spending it. Tracking your hours is an important step toward better time management. Start by breaking down a major project into manageable individual tasks.

For your classes, you may need to complete an academic review, draft essay or answer a series of questions. Each activity should take a set time that allows for edits and research. Allocate time blocks to each assignment and take note of the time you start and finish the tasks.

It can be useful to use a time tracking app or simply the clock on the wall to make sure you stay on track. Every time you need a break, get a bite to eat or let your mind wander, clock off and write down your hours.
