Two discoveries of how one spend ones time
When keeping track of how one spends ones time, one discovered that one spends too much time playing ones PS3, and not enough time doing homework. The PS3 is a way for one to relax after having a difficult day. One did not realize that one could be on that game for hours. One discovered that one really needs some time management skills. One found that one would end up rushing at the end of the night trying to get homework done. This also falls under one of the goals that were set.

Activities

One has to be more focused on the end result and this will help one to manage time better.
