Taking care of schoolwork, chores, sports, and your social life
all at the same time can be a real challenge.
In this lesson, you will create a spreadsheet that shows how long you spend on your activities,
from homework to hobbies.
Then, you’ll use the information from the sheet to make decisions about how you spend
your time.
Managing your time is a useful skill for planning your day and making sure you complete all
your responsibilities.
Spreadsheets can help you track time and organize other information,
like goals, habits, or data.
Tracking your time in a spreadsheet can show you which tasks are taking too much time,
and which activities you need to spend more time on.
