Personal Audit ( _____ of 5 points)

Pick one day this week to “audit” your own behavior. From 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., complete the log below showing how you spend your time in 30 minute increments. Be honest (e.g., Are you truly studying or are you watching TV with the textbook open in front of you?). Write down what you are doing on a half-hour basis in the Personal Audit form attached. A common mistake is to wait until the end of the day to fill out the form; you should keep the form with you and log your activities as the time passes.

1. How does your personal audit demonstrate that you spent your time, focus and energy?
