time block timer finish spending hour
Ava and Ben’s stories show how we may manage and use our time more effectively.
Ava’s problem was that she often couldn’t finish what she had to do. After Ava saw her sister tracking her spending in a diary, she started a time diary. She recorded her activities every hour and the results were a wake-up call. Since then, she has been keeping her time diary to stop wasting time and finish more tasks.
Ben’s problem was that he had trouble focusing while studying for an important exam. He used a(n) timer and tried different time blocks to manage his study time. Finally, he found that 25 minutes of study and a 5-minute break worked best. He has been using this time block to stay on task.

Ava I’m the kind of person who likes to plan. During weekend, I wrote my to-do list in my planner. My problem was that I didn’t finish many of the things I had to do. I often asked myself, “I was busy all day, but why didn’t I finish much?” Now I know why, and I’ll tell you what I found out. One day, I saw my sister keeping a diary to track her exercise. That made me think, “Why don’t I track my time too?” So I started a planner and wrote down what I did every hour. When I checked the record, I was surprised that I spent way too much time watching TV instead of getting things done! Since then, I’ve been keeping my time diary once a week. By doing so, I can track how much money I spend on my tasks.
