living that outrageous life

My first reaction that came to my mind was that, keeping track of everything I do would be a waste of time. When I first started keeping track I kept forgetting to write down the times and things I was doing and how long I did that activity for. As I spent the first day forgetting to write down the time and activities I did, the second day and after that, it was getting a little easier to track most of what I did for the whole day. On the weekends, keeping time was getting difficult for me because for the whole day I would be hanging out with my friends or not even is at home which was hard or I would forget.

One of the methods that I was using was that when I started doing activities I would open my notebook and write down the activities name, start time, and the time I finished it.

Now that I’ve used Excel it’s a program that is more advanced then Microsoft Word. Excel is one of the programs I have never used or even looked at. This program was hard and complicated when I first opened and looked at it. It organizes your writing and makes it look professional for keeping track of time, a schedule, and working hours. The one thing I learned about Excel was that it’s not that hard for someone to use the program and write something in it, once you get the hang of it you will love excel. Enjoy!

Two things I could change would be; How much of TV I watch and how much homework I do. Being on the couch all day makes you gain weigh and you will eyes problems. Doing homework isn’t a bad thing have some fun and be active also. Watching TV for a whole day makes you lazy, tired, and you would probably be a boring person.

This project was helpful to me because it made me realize things I need to change about my life. I’ve learned how to use Excel, Graphs and Charts, which I knew but went it depth with it. It made me recognize what I do for a whole day. The Time Budget Data Log was something that became part of my life and it was something that I remembered all the time once I began the project.
