Time Tracking Study Hours

Tabs to keep myself honest

I have to re-take my PE (Professional Engineering) exam, in October. My honest assessment is that I had not been serious enough in putting in the hours. I went out dancing a lot. I procrastinated till the last 4-5 weeks. Bottom line, I didn't get enough studying done.

I thought that visualizing how much time I spend on each activity that is important to me will put things into perspective.

Tracking:

• PE study time
• Couch to 5K running program
• Dancing
• Ukulele

I still need 'play' time because it keeps me happy and creative. I just can't overdo it. So I'm keeping tabs to make sure my play time is still under my serious time.

Giving Up:

• Spanish
• Cantonese
• Partying
• Coursera, Udacity, other random e-Learning projects
• Motorcycle trips
• Traveling

I don't have TV time because I don't watch or miss TV.
I might need to add social/dining time... A girl's gotta eat.

Do you think this will work? Or is this just another time consuming thing I'm using to procrastinate from doing actual studying?
