Time Monitoring

Complete Parts 1 and 2 in the “Time Monitor Worksheet.” In Part 1, monitor all that you do within a 3-day time period and record these activities in the worksheet’s time log. In Part 2, write a short 250-350-word reflection about the experience of logging your time. 

Part 1: Time Monitoring Log

  1. Use the time monitoring log provided in the “Time Monitor Worksheet” to write down what you did each hour of the day, starting at 5 a.m. and ending at 10 p.m. Even if you do not get up until 10 a.m., you still need to record 5 a.m. – 9 a.m. as sleep.
  2. Do not overdo the recording; record the primary activity for the hour. At most, record two activities per hour.

Part 2: Time Monitoring Reflection

On Day 4, review your completed time monitoring log from Part 1 and take a serious look at how you use your time each day. Use the questions in the worksheet’s instructions for Part 2 to guide your writing.
