Find More Time to Study with
Better Home Time Management

(c) Home Time Management 2013 | Mary Segers http://marysegers.com
Finding time to study is critical to success in college.
I think that's probably the number one complaint of students... especially
nontraditional students who have a family and job vying for the same time
slots.
I'm going to help you find more time to study with better home time
management but in order to do so it's important that you understand 3 things:
***You Need to Classify Activities as Unnecessary or Necessary
***You Need to Stop Wasting Time on the Unnecessary Ones
***You Need to Save Time While Doing the Necessary Ones
Let's look at a few examples of each.
(c) Home Time Management 2013 | Mary Segers http://marysegers.com
Unnecessary or Necessary

 from studying as much
A big problem that keeps students
as they need to is that they don't separate unnecessary
activities from the necessary ones.

Or, even if they are somewhat conscious that they need
to, the balance of activities is way off, i.e., they do 1
necessary to 3 unnecessary activities.

Unnecessary or Necessary
 Spending time with spouse
 Watching TV
 Checking email
 Chatting with friends
 Surfing the net
 Piddling away time being
bored

 Spending time with kids
 Cooking meals
 Cleaning
 Studying

You Need to Stop Wasting Time on the
Unnecessary Ones



It's absolutely amazing how much time we can just piddle away.

When I was a smoker I smoked a pack and a half to 2 packs per day.
One day, just out of the blue, I decided to figure out how much time I spent
just on the act of smoking.
Now, I didn't smoke in the house so I'd just take a quick smoke break out on
one of the porches with a book so it was an actual break from whatever I
was doing.
(c) Home Time Management 2013 | Mary Segers http://marysegers.com
I did the calculations, did them again, asked someone to doublecheck me, and then finally accepted the numbers.
Are you ready for this?
I wasted 5 hours per day on smoke breaks (a 10 minute break for
each one).
A measly 10 minute break. 30 x 10 = 300 minutes / 60 = 5 hours.
Per week that would equal 35 hours of wasted time.
Yeah, I'd call that a vast amount of time.
(c) Home Time Management 2013 | Mary Segers http://marysegers.com
I began making flash cards or creating study sheets and when I'd take a
cigarette break I'd study that for the 10 minutes.
It gave me a break from whatever else I was studying and gave me plenty of
extra time studying.
Like 5 hours per day of extra studying.
Even if I only spent half of my smoking breaks studying that was still 2 and
a half hours or 17.5 hours of studying per week.
You could also use those flash cards or study sheet when you're stuck in
traffic, waiting at the doctor's office, in line at the grocery store, waiting for
the pasta water to boil... you get the idea.
(c) Home Time Management 2013 | Mary Segers http://marysegers.com
Even someone who smokes the average one pack a day could
get back 3.3 hours of study time per day (or 23.1 hours per
week)
Or, better yet… quit... like I eventually did.
Not that I ever really cared for TV but, as far as that huge timewaster is concerned, I pretty much quit watching any show
not recorded.
For those that were recorded I could then watch them when I
made the time available and had the inclination.
(c) Home Time Management 2013 | Mary Segers http://marysegers.com
You Can Save Time While Doing the
Necessary Ones

 in order to find more time to
For those things you can't quit doing,

study, you simply must use better home time management in order to
save time doing them.
Plan the week ahead and include your spouse and kid in those plans.
Create weekly meal plans based on your family's tastes and the time
you have available, and create a cleaning routine that fits your family,
your time available, and your tolerance level.

Recap



Follow these suggestions with your home time management and you'll find you have
lots more time to study.
