What you do (or don’t do) today and every day determines your future

Never seem to have time to really get ready for that next test or big assignment? If you answer “yes,” take this little quiz.

How many hours each day do you spend on these entertainments? 

Be honest. It’s important information for you.
  • television
  • cell phone
  • face book
  • music
  • iPod
  • computer games
  • sports
  • socializing with friends

How many hours do you spend each day on these tasks?
  • studying & homework
  • part-time job
  • extra-curricular activities
  • volunteering
  • other responsibilities

Your assessment
Now rank the items according to their totals from most to least time spent.This assessment is your entertainment and work profile. It’s important. It defines your life in terms of interest, activities, jobs, and goals. You are what you do, and what you accomplish.

Why it’s important
Does time slip through your fingers despite your good intentions? Don’t let daily and weekly activities control you. You want to be in control. That means you must get organized, set your priorities, get things done, and control your time.
