To figure out a mathematical average:

Step 1: Add up all of the hours you spent on one activity on a particular day. Do this for the same activity for every day of the week.

Step 2: Add together the hours you calculated in Step 1.

Step 3: Divide the total you got in Step 2 by the number of days you did the particular activity.

Now that you have done all of the math, take a moment to think about the ways you used you time. Things like school are pretty much set in stone and the time you spend here can't be changed, but other things are definitely under your control. For example, do you really need to spend 3 hours watching the Mariner's game when you have a book to read for language, math problems to do, and a history worksheet to finish?

In the space below, answer the following questions.

1. Did anything surprise you about the way you spent your time? If so, what? If not, why not?

2. As a result of what you found, are you planning to spend more time on any particular activity? If so, which one and why? If not, why not?

3. As a result of what you found, are you planning to spendless time on any particular activity? If so, which one and why? If not, why not?
