1. Fill in the "In class time" row with 35 hours (as provided in the example).
2. Estimate and enter the weekly hours spent on homework for each of the 7 subjects in their respective rows.
3. Sum the hours from all 7 homework rows and add them to the 35 class hours to calculate the "SCHOOL TOTAL WEEKLY HOURS".
4. Estimate and enter the weekly hours for each extracurricular activity (Paid job, Community Service, Sports, Visual & Performing Art, Non-school assigned homework).
5. Add all the extracurricular hours to calculate the "EXTRACURRICULARS TOTAL WEEKLY HOURS".
6. Estimate and enter the weekly hours for "Playtime, Downtime, Family Time", "Necessities", and "Chores".
7. Add these three categories to calculate the "UNSTRUCTURED TIME TOTAL WEEKLY HOURS".
8. Confirm the "SLEEP TOTAL WEEKLY HOURS" is 63 (45 weekday + 18 weekend).
9. Add the four category totals (School Total, Extracurriculars Total, Unstructured Time Total, Sleep Total) to get "Your Weekly Total".
10. Ensure "Your Weekly Total" does not exceed 168 hours (the total hours in a week).
