Understanding your results:
As you think about the demands on your time, please consider carefully the effects that your
choices will have on your personal health and well-being. As the weekly time worksheet
demonstrates, there will be many demands on your time.
Most people can only manage 60 hours of productivity each week. If your result is above 60, you
may need to cut back on either work or school. If you are below 60 you should be able to balance
the demands of school and work. However, keep in mind that you also have commitments to
family, your health and hobbies or exercise.
After you have completed the worksheet and reviewed your results to evaluate your time and
what may need to change, complete the weekly time grid below to help you plan your time for
each of these commitments.
