Data Entry Example for Excel

In order to evaluate your time accurately, you will need to keep a log of your activities for at least 3 days.

For this next step you need to analyze the major categories of your time for your three sample days: personal care, eating, school, study, work, recreation, television, sleep, other, etc. You will need to total each category for each day to create a table that looks something like the one below.

Activity Hours Spent
sleep 55
eating 20
personal 5
exercise 8
class 20
studying 13
television 30
entertainment 10
unaccounted 7
168
If you do this for 3 days your total should be 72 hours.

Remember if you do this for a week you should get a total of 168 hours. It can be amazing how much time we waste and can't account for after trying to track this type of time utilization.
