It looks like you've uploaded a
Time Management Worksheet titled *"A Weekly Tally"*, which is designed to help students track how they spend their time during a week. The worksheet asks you to fill in the number of hours needed for various activities and then compare the total to the number of hours in a week (168). Based on that, it helps determine whether you're over-committed or have extra time.
Since I can't view images directly, I'll explain how to
solve this worksheet step by step, assuming you’ve filled in the blanks with your own data. Here's how to complete and interpret it:
---
🔹 Step 1: Fill in the "Time Needed" Column
For each activity, estimate the number of hours per week (or per day) you spend on it.
Let’s go through each category and give an example of how to calculate:
#### 1.
Credit Hours this Semester
- Example: If you're taking 15 credit hours:
- This is just a number — write “15” here.
- *Note:* This isn’t a time, but it affects study time.
#### 2.
Study Hours (2 x credit hours/week)
- Formula: 2 × Credit Hours
- Example: 15 credits → 2 × 15 =
30 hours/week
#### 3.
Sleep/Naps (7 x ___ hours/day)
- How many hours do you sleep per day? Multiply by 7.
- Example: 8 hours/day → 7 × 8 =
56 hours/week
#### 4.
Meals (7 x ___ hours/day)
- How long do you spend eating per day?
- Example: 1 hour/day → 7 × 1 =
7 hours/week
#### 5.
Hygiene (7 x ___ hours/day)
- Brushing teeth, showering, etc.
- Example: 1 hour/day → 7 × 1 =
7 hours/week
#### 6.
De-stress Activities (7 x ___ hours/day)
- Exercise, reading, video games, hobbies, etc.
- Example: 1.5 hours/day → 7 × 1.5 =
10.5 hours/week
#### 7.
Communication Activities (7 x ___ hours/day)
- Phone calls, texting, emails, social media.
- Example: 2 hours/day → 7 × 2 =
14 hours/week
#### 8.
Work/Volunteering
- Total weekly hours.
- Example: 15 hours/week →
15 hours
#### 9.
Regularly Scheduled Activities
- Church, piano lessons, meetings, sports.
- Example: 5 hours/week →
5 hours
#### 10.
Commute/Travel Time
- Total time spent traveling daily × 7.
- Example: 1 hour/day →
7 hours/week
#### 11.
Family Commitments
- Help siblings, care for family, etc.
- Example: 5 hours/week →
5 hours
#### 12.
Friend Commitments
- Hangouts, group projects, etc.
- Example: 6 hours/week →
6 hours
#### 13.
Household Duties & Errands
- Chores, grocery shopping, laundry.
- Example: 8 hours/week →
8 hours

🔹 Step 2: Add Up All Hours
Now sum all the values from the "Time Needed" column.
Let’s use the examples above:
| Activity | Hours/Week |
|-------------------------------|------------|
| Study | 30 |
| Sleep | 56 |
| Meals | 7 |
| Hygiene | 7 |
| De-stress | 10.5 |
| Communication | 14 |
| Work/Volunteering | 15 |
| Scheduled Activities | 5 |
| Commute | 7 |
| Family Commitments | 5 |
| Friend Commitments | 6 |
| Household Duties | 8 |
|
Total |
145.5 |
>
✔ Total = 145.5 hours/week
---
🔹 Step 3: Compare to 168 Hours
- Number of hours in a week:
168
- Your total:
145.5
- Difference: 168 – 145.5 =
22.5 hours free
---
🔹 Step 4: Answer the Question
>
HOW DO YOU DO?
-
Under 168 hours: You appear to have
EXTRA TIME
- In our example: 145.5 < 168 →
✔ You have extra time!
- You might be able to add more study time, rest, or fun activities.
-
Over 168 hours: You are
OVER-COMMITTED
- This means your schedule is impossible — you’re trying to do more than 24 hours a day.
---
✔ Final Interpretation
If your total is under 168, you’re doing well — you have room to breathe.
If it’s over 168, you need to reevaluate your commitments.
