I’d say my priorities are pretty decent right now, but there’s still a lot of room for improvement. A lot of the time, I catch myself going on my phone or watching videos instead of focusing on my homework first. There have definitely been moments where I feel like time isn’t on my side, especially when everything starts piling up because I put things off. I’ll be honest I do procrastinate sometimes, usually because I get distracted or just don’t feel motivated in the moment. But after watching the talk, I realized that I actually do have enough time I just need to use it more wisely.

If I really had control over all 168 hours in a week, I would spend more time on school, relationships, and family. For school, I want to stay on top of my work and finish assignments earlier so I’m less stressed and can improve my grades. Socially, I want to start talking to people more and building connections instead of keeping to myself. When it comes to family, I want to spend more quality time with them because I know that time really matters. I’ve realized I waste a lot of time on my phone doing things that aren’t important. To manage my time better, I’m going to try following a simple daily schedule, cut down on distractions, and focus on important tasks before anything else.

I learned that we often think we do not have enough time, but in reality we have way more time than we realize. She explains that there are 168 hours in a week, and the way we spend those hours depends on our priorities. I realized that my priorities are somewhat in order, but I still waste my time a lot on things that are not very important, like being on my phone or watching videos for hours . I do feel like I am racing against the clock, especially when my schoolwork builds up at the end of the week , and I also procrastinate most of the times because I put off tasks that feel difficult or boring in the moment. though , I now understand that this usually makes my schedule more stressful and harder to complete later.If I had all 168 hours planned wisely, I would make more time for school, family, and activities that help me grow as a person an even have free time . To gain control of my free time, I plan to be more intentional by scheduling important tasks first, limiting distractions like my phone, and using my time more purposefully instead of wasting it.

My priorities are kind of in order but not always because I sometimes focus more on my phone than school or family. I do feel like I'm racing against the clock a lot especially when I wait too long to get my work done and procrastinate at times because I get distracted or simply don’t feel like doing my work, but I know I'm just making things worse for myself later on. I would like to find more time for my school and my family and my friends because these are more important to my life and my future than anything else. If I had 168 hours a week to myself with nothing to do, I would probably use a lot of it on my phone and social media or just doing nothing at all even though i would like to spend it doing more productive things. I believe I waste a lot of my time when I'm stuck on my phone or when I procrastinate and don’t get my work done on time. Some of the things I would do to gain more control of my free time are making a simple schedule and doing my work a bit earlier and reducing the amount of time spent on my phone.

I believe that my priorities are in order, but the situation is that sometimes I pay too much attention to those things that are not very important. I do feel that I am always in a race with the clock, particularly with school, sports and other commitments. Honestly, I also procrastinate a bit, most of the time due to my phone, as I am distracted by it or simply prefer to rest rather than immediately get down to business. But I am aware that time wasting only makes life more stressful in the future. After watching the video, I understood that I am not as short of time as I thought I am, I just have to better manage it. In the case of my lists, I wish to spend more time at school in order to stay ahead with my assignments and not to hurry. I would also like to dedicate more time to relationships, spending time with friends and being present rather than distracted. To family, I would like to have more quality moments with them since I do not necessarily make that a priority. In case I really had 168 hours per week, I know I spend much time on my cell phone, social networking and not doing anything constructive. The steps that I intend to take in order to control my free time will be to have a schedule, restricting the amount of time spent in front of the screen, and beginning to do my assignments early, rather than late. In so doing, I believe that I will be less stressed and feel more in control of my time.

I believe my priorities are somewhat in line, but social media and little chores frequently divert me. I do put off doing difficult or time-consuming things because I occasionally feel like I'm running out of time, especially during hectic school weeks. I would see how much time I waste watching videos or browsing through my phone if I had all 168 hours in a week. I intend to create a weekly routine, cut down on distractions, and spend more time with friends, family, and my academics in order to take charge of my leisure time. I want to spend more time with friends to sustain connections, study more to raise my grades, and make priceless memories with my family.

I would say my priorities are not always in order, I am often distracted by social media or playing video games. I wanted to fix my priorities because i feel ashamed when I am not doing the requirements I need to do at the time I'm supposed to. I do feel like I am constantly racing against the clock, I tend to put off longer tasks for later thinking I have time but once I get to it, I am stressed and putting a lot of pressure on myself and end up not doing much of it. I do procrastinate, I tend to feel like not wanting to do the things I need to do until the last minute because I have other priorities which shouldn't be my top priorities. What i would like to make more time for is my personal health, to do more exercise each day. If i had those 168 empty hours a week, i would spend my time on social media, talking to my friends, playing games, and going outside. A plan i would make to "gain control of my free time" is to reduce distractions during school to make sure my grades and work are my main priorities, spend more time with my friends and family, and to have a schedule for myself. STEPS I SHOULD TAKE- School: Turn in 2-4 assignments everyday so i do not procrastinate and fall behind. Relationships: To communicate to those around me whether its my family, friends, and teachers. Family: To spend more time with them especially my family members that I barely see.

My name is Daniel Betancourt, and I feel that my priorities are fairly well organized. As a senior, I know that I need to focus on my future career goals after graduating. My main goal is to become a professional soccer player, and I have been fortunate to receive multiple Division 1 offers from colleges. While my main focus is going pro, my plan B is to play Division 1 soccer in college if I don’t immediately go professional. Most of my daily schedule revolves around soccer practice, training, and competitions, which sometimes makes me feel like I am racing against the clock to fit everything in. Schoolwork can occasionally feel pushed aside, but I know it must be completed, so I make it a priority to stay on top of all assignments. My priorities include school, completing assignments on time to maintain eligibility and academic standing; relationships, balancing friendships outside of soccer while staying connected to family; family, spending time with them and maintaining traditions; and soccer, dedicating hours every day to training, skill development, and competing at a high level to achieve my goal of going professional. I truly believe in the saying, “I don’t have time = It is not a priority,” and everything I do is planned around reaching these goals while keeping school and personal relationships in balance.

Even though I think my priorities are somewhat in order, I am often distracted by social media and small tasks. I sometimes feel like I'm running out of time, especially during busy school weeks, and I do put off doing challenging or tedious tasks. If I had all 168 hours in a week, I would see how much time I waste scrolling through my phone or watching videos. To take control of my free time, I plan to make a weekly schedule, reduce distractions, and spend more time with friends, family, and my studies. I want to study more to improve my grades, spend more time with friends to maintain relationships, and create treasured memories with my family.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say that my priorities are not really in order, which I wanted to fix, but I either felt I had little time to do so or felt ashamed for not doing them earlier. I know I can be busy at times, but I believe there's always room for me to do something now rather than saving it for later. I am a procrastinator; however, I'm taking small steps each day to help myself to become better when it comes to making sure my work gets done, cleaning around the house, and ensuring that I'm always communicating with friends and peers to help boost my morale and confidence.

Steps I Should Take

School: Finish 2 class work assignments every day. Write more notes, and when I have free time, quiz myself on those notes.

Relationships: Ensure that I'm communicating with those around me and those that I haven't spoken to in a while. It doesn't hurt to stop by and say "hi!" once in a while.

Family: Definitely call and contact my aunt and cousins more since they live farther than where I live.

Exercising: I should stretch first thing in the morning. And if I'm just on my phone, not doing anything but scrolling through social media, I should exercise more. I should take at least an hour every hour of the day by doing cardio exercises to make sure my body's in shape.

Creativity: Ensure that I continue with making more jewelry, knitting and crocheting more, and continue drawing. I always draw when I'm in the car; however, I should also make that a priority instead of going on the phone as much.

Healthcare: Ensure that I stay away from sugary products since they're not great for my health. Every day, I should replace juice and soda with tea and water instead, and replace sugary snacks with interesting veggie sticks or fruits.

After I watched the video I thought about my priorities. I realized that they are not always right. This means that sometimes I feel like I do not have time especially when I have to do school work practice golf and do things at home all at the same time. I put things off sometimes. This happens when my phone distracts me or I do things or when I think I have a lot of time to finish my work. Then I feel stressed when I realize I should have started my work earlier. The video made me think that everyone has the amount of time in a week which is 168 hours. The difference is how we use that time. It helped me understand that I probably have time than I think but sometimes I use it for things that are not important. If I could control my time better I would like to spend more time on school, golf, my faith and my family and friends. For school I want to study more stay organized and finish my work before it is due. As a golfer I want to practice more and get better. I also want to have the time to be with my friends and family, and not just use that free time to spend it on my phone. Also, my catholic faith is very important, so i want to take a moment on my day to pray and think. Sometimes i waste my time on my phone scrolling on TikTok/ instagram and i want to do something about it so that I can have more control on that. To manage my time better i made a schedule where i do my work with my phone away from me. I also want to put more effort on things that really are importan to me life family/friends time, golf, god, and good grades.

School: i will be more organized and do my work when the week start and stop procrastinating my work.

Relationships: I will spend time with my friends and really be there. Family: I will spend time with them and help them more.

Faith: I will make time to pray and think. Where I waste time: my phone, media putting things off and getting distracted. Actions I will take: I will make a schedule start my work earlier put my phone away and focus on the things, in my life.

I also noticed that I did not have my priorities in the right sequence after viewing the video. This is why at times I do feel like I am always out of time, more so when I have school, stuff at home, and other obligations at the same time. I also procrastinate occasionally, and frankly it is simply because I am lazy, distracted or I simply believe that I have too much time. Then I later start stressing myself up. This video got me thinking how it is that every person has the same 168 hours in a week and it is truly a matter of how we utilize it. It taught me I am likely to have more time than I believe, but I am wasting it on the things that are not so important.

Given that I had a more effective way to control my free time, I would desire to spend more of my time at school and in relationships and family. In school I would prefer to have more time to read, keep up and complete a task right before the deadline. In the case of relationships, I would wish to have more time to converse properly with my friends and be present rather than spending all the time on my phone. On the part of family, I would like to spend more time with them and serve them more since I know that. I believe that I spend a lot of time scrolling on my phone, being on social media, and procrastinating when I should simply do it. My schedule is going to be much better, I will get my homework earlier, I will leave my phone somewhere when I am supposed to concentrate on something, and I will be smarter with my time are some of the steps I intend to make.

School: work harder, be more organized, get work done sooner.

Relationships: to spend more time with friends, to be present more, to talk more. Family: spend more time, help less, more control involved.

Phones, social media, procrastinating, distractions are where I spend time wasting time.

Actions I will take: schedule, begin earlier, avoid distractions, concentrate on important things.

After watching the video, I would say my priorities are in order. I try to focus on school, relationships, and family, and I feel like I’m keeping a good balance. I do feel like I am constantly racing against the clock, especially when I have a lot of assignments or activities planned. I don’t usually procrastinate because I like to stay on top of my responsibilities and get things done on time.

Even though I manage my priorities well, I notice I sometimes waste time on games and hobbies like pickleball and golfing. While these activities are fun and important for relaxation, they can take up more time than I intend if I’m not careful.

For my lists:

School: I want to make more time for studying and keeping up with assignments so I can stay organized and stress-free.

Relationships: I want to make more time to spend with friends and family, making sure I’m present and engaged rather than distracted.

Family: I want to spend quality time with my family, like having meals together or helping out around the house.

To gain control of my free time, I plan to set clear schedules for schoolwork and hobbies, limit time spent on games if necessary, and make sure I dedicate specific blocks of time to family and friends. These steps will help me enjoy my hobbies while still focusing on what matters most.

Fabio Ron

1. Are my priorities in order?
I would say my priorities are not always in order. Sometimes I focus too much on my phone, video games, or social media instead of schoolwork, spending time with family, or building friendships. I know what’s important, but it’s easy to get distracted by things that don’t really help me reach my goals.

2. Do i fell constantly on the clock?

Yes, I often feel like I am racing against the clock. Between school, homework, soccer practice, and trying to have fun with friends, it feels like there’s never enough time in the day. I usually end up doing things at the last minute or skipping some activities I should be doing.

Do i procrastinate?

Yes, I do procrastinate. I often put off homework or studying because scrolling social media or watching videos seems more fun. I know this wastes time, but it’s hard to stop because it’s easy to get distracted.

Lists of priorities and time planning:

School: I want to make more time for homework, studying, and practicing soccer skills related to school sports. These are important for my grades and long-term success.

Relationships: I want to make more time to hang out with friends in meaningful ways, like playing soccer together or talking about things that matter.

Family: I want to make more time for family dinners, helping around the house, and spending quality time with my parents and siblings.

Where I waste all my time:

I realize I waste a lot of time on scrolling social media, watching YouTube or TikTok, and playing games that don’t help me with school, relationships, or family.

Steps I plan on taking to gain control of my free time:

1. Limit social media and phone use to set times during the day.

2. Make a schedule for homework, soccer practice, and family time.

3. Combine activities when possible, like practicing soccer with friends instead of playing video games.

4. Set small goals each day for school, relationships, and family, so I use my time more effectively.

I think my priorities are mostly in order, but it can get hard to balance everything. School, soccer, work, and the gym take up most of my time. I care a lot about improving in soccer and doing well in school, but sometimes I get tired and just want to scroll on my phone or relax instead of being productive. So even though my main priorities are straight, I could manage my time better.

I definitely feel like I’m constantly racing against the clock. Between practice, games, homework, shifts at work, and workouts, my days feel packed. Sometimes I feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day. But after thinking about the 168 hours idea, I realized that I probably do have small pockets of time that I waste without noticing.

If I’m being honest, I do procrastinate sometimes. Usually it’s with schoolwork. After a long day of practice or work, I’ll tell myself I’ll do homework later because I’m tired. Then later turns into late at night, and I end up stressing myself out more. It’s not that I don’t care — I just feel drained sometimes.

If I truly had 168 empty hours, I would want to make more time for school, relationships, and family. For school, I’d like to stay ahead on assignments so I’m not doing everything last minute. For relationships, I’d want more time to hang out with friends without feeling rushed. For family, I’d want to be more present instead of always being tired or busy. My family supports me a lot with soccer and everything else, so they deserve more of my time too.

I think I waste most of my time on my phone, especially at night. Even 30 minutes here and there adds up. Some steps I plan on taking to gain control of my free time are making a weekly schedule around practice, work, and gym sessions, doing homework right after school before I get too tired, and limiting my screen time. I also want to plan at least one night a week for family time and one time to just relax without feeling guilty.

Being a student athlete with a job isn’t easy, but this video made me realize that I can take more control over my schedule instead of just saying I’m too busy. It’s really about choosing what matters most and being more intentional with my time.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say my priorities are somewhat in order, but I often focus too much on school and forget to make time for family and friends. I usually feel like I’m racing against the clock, especially when assignments pile up or I have other responsibilities. I do procrastinate sometimes, mostly because I get distracted by my phone or feel overwhelmed, which only increases my stress. If I truly had 168 empty hours a week, I realize I’m wasting some of that time on social media, watching videos, or doing things that aren’t important. I want to make more time for school by studying consistently instead of cramming, for my relationships by spending quality time with friends and my boyfriend, and for my family by checking in with my mom and siblings more often. To gain control of my free time, I plan to make a weekly schedule, set small daily goals, limit phone use during study or family time, plan intentional activities with friends and family, and review my progress each week to see what works and what I can improve.

# data[].attributes.body
I think my priorities are okay, but they could be better. Sometimes I stay on top of things, but other times I fall behind. I do feel like I’m always running out of time because of school and other things going on. I do procrastinate, mostly when I don’t feel like doing the work or when I get distracted. I want to fix this so I don’t feel stressed all the time.

There are things in school, my relationships, and my family that I want to make more time for. In school, I want to spend more time on my work so I don’t rush. With relationships, I want to talk to my friends more and build better connections. With family, I want to be around them more and help out. I waste a lot of time on my phone and watching videos. To get more control of my time, I plan to do my homework first, make a small daily plan, and take breaks only after I finish tasks.

I feel that my priorities are in order. As a senior, I know that I must have career goals to pursue after graduating. Everything I do is planned around my hockey schedule. I do feel at times I am racing against the clock because there is a lot I want to accomplish. Sometimes schoolwork is not prioritized, however, I do realize it must be done. My list that Laura asks for would be the following; School-Do not procrastinate and get all assignments done by the due date, Relationships-being in a virtual school since 8th grade has made it hard to have friendships. I am friendly with hockey players at the ice rink but miss the days of going to school and being around guys and girls. I look forward to going to college and being around many people and not just hockey guys. Family-I do a lot with my family and we have created many traditions together. I hope to keep in close contact with my family when I leave home. Since this may be my last year at home, I have found time to learn to fly and enjoy the same passion my father has. I get up extra early to fly with an instructor, making it a priority. I like what Laura said, "I don't have time = It is not a priority". My goals are to play high level hockey as long as I can, go to college, and become a pilot and be able to fly as a career.

Would you say your priorities are in order?

# data[].attributes.body
I think they are. I am just focused on finishing school and making some money to be responsible and self reliant. I think I balance everything in my life fairly.

Do you feel like you are constantly racing around the clock?

Sometimes yes sometimes no. I leave things for last minute sometimes and I stress later but I’ve slowly gotten better and realized why save something for tomorrow if you can do it today. That saying has helped me grow a lot.

Do you procrastinate (be honest)? Why or why not?

Yes I do procrastinate sometimes. As I said I leave things for last minute sometimes and later regret it but I’ve gotten better at it.

Lauras Lists- Focused on school, relationships, and family.

School:

Keeping up with homework. What works for me is getting everything easy out of the way first and dedicating specific times to those hard assignments.

Relationships:

I like keeping a social life. It’s important to have people to talk to and escape with every once in a while. I like meeting new people.

Family:

I value family a lot. I help around the house a lot because my mom is always working. I try to spend every minute I can with my brother and mom weather its sitting and talking for hours or going out together.

If you truly had those 168 empty house a week, where would you waste them?

I would try to explore the world the most I cloud. Visit new parks, try new coffee spots, go on runs. I would also use them to hang out with my family outside of them always being at work.

What are some steps you plan on taking to gain control of your free time?

I don’t have too much free time but if I did, I would plan my days better. I love planning so I would make a plan for my week. Include time for myself, time for academics, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I would say my priorities are mostly in order, but sometimes it’s hard to balance everything. Since I’m homeschooled and play soccer for Inter Miami, my schedule can get really busy with training, recovery, and schoolwork. I always try to put school and soccer first because they’re both important for my future.

2. I do feel like I’m constantly racing against the clock. Between practices, workouts, travel, and assignments, the days go by really fast. Sometimes it feels like there’s not enough time to get everything done, but I’m learning to manage my time better and stay organized.

3. I’ll be honest—I do procrastinate sometimes. It usually happens when I’m tired after a long day of training and just want to relax. I know it’s not the best habit, but I’m trying to work on it by planning ahead and doing a little bit each day instead of waiting until the last minute.

4. For my lists, here’s what I’d like to focus on:

School: I want to make more time for studying and staying ahead on assignments.

Relationships: I’d like to spend more time with my friends since I don’t see them often because of soccer.

Family: I want to be more present with my family and spend more time with them when I’m home.

5. If I truly had 168 empty hours a week, I’d say I waste a lot of them on my phone or watching videos. To gain control of my free time, I plan to set limits on screen time, use a schedule to stay organized, and make sure I balance rest, school, and soccer better.

# data[].attributes.body
Would you say your priorities are in order? For the most part i think my priorities are in check. I prioritize hockey, school and family.

-Do you feel like you are constantly racing against the clock? No i look at the bigger picture and relize that speeding and rushing does not solve every problem sometimes going slower can help your outlook on things. Even though i do believe time is money i dont look at it as how fast you go but how you use your time.

-Do you procrastinate (be honest)? Why or why not? Sometimes i do, Sometimes i will prioritze something less valuable than what i should be doing

3- Create the lists that Laura is asking her audience to create. However, instead of career, yours should focus on school, relationships, and family.

I think i should spend more time studying for AP exams and SAT testing, I want to be the best friend i can be, And for family i really want to be the best older brother i can be for my little brother and sister, I want to spend more time playing mini sticks hockey with my brother and more time talking to my sister.

What would you like to make more time for and why? I wish i could have more time at home i am away for half of the year for hockey and wish i could be home with all my family and friends.

If you truly had those 168 empty hours a week, where are you wasting them? I would not say i am wasting any hours, am I as productive as i could possibly be no, But i am happy and having a good time at home during the offseason and would not change anything.

What are some steps you plan on taking to "gain control of your free time"? None I am happy with where i am at.

Honestly, I think my priorities are mostly in order, but I could definitely do better. I try to stay focused on school and keep up with assignments, but sometimes I let other things like my phone or just being tired get in the way. After watching the video, I realized I should spend more time on the things that actually matter to me instead of just what’s easiest or right in front of me.

Do you feel like you are constantly racing against the clock?

Yes, I feel like I’m always running out of time. There’s always something to do—schoolwork, chores, trying to see friends, or even just trying to relax a little. I don’t always plan my time well, so things end up feeling super rushed. The video made me think about how I’m spending my time and how I could be more in control of it.

Do you procrastinate (be honest)? Why or why not?

Yeah, I procrastinate a lot. I don’t mean to, but I get distracted easily or just put things off because I don’t feel like doing them. Then I end up stressed trying to finish everything at the last minute. I think it’s because I don’t always know where to start or I just get overwhelmed. But I know it’s something I need to work on.

Lists from the video (school, relationships, family):

School:

Keep up with homework and not wait until the night before

Study for tests earlier instead of cramming

Ask teachers for help when I don’t understand something

Work on long-term projects a little at a time

Relationships:

Spend more real time with my friends, not just texting

Reach out to friends I haven’t talked to in a while

Be a better listener when people talk to me

Put my phone down when I’m hanging out with others

Family:

Help out more without being asked

Spend more time with my siblings

Eat meals together when we can

Talk to my parents about what’s going on in my life

What would you like to make more time for and why?

I’d like to make more time for things I enjoy, like drawing, acting, or just relaxing without feeling guilty. These things help me de-stress and feel like myself. I’d also like to have more time to spend with people I care about.

If you truly had those 168 empty hours a week, where are you wasting them?

I waste way too much time on my phone, mostly scrolling through TikTok or Instagram without even realizing how long it’s been. I also spend time just laying around when I could be doing something more useful or fun.

What are some steps you plan on taking to "gain control of your free time"?

I’m going to try tracking how I spend my time for a few days so I can actually see where it goes. Then I want to start planning out my week a little more, like setting aside time for school stuff but also time for myself. I’ll also try to cut down screen time, especially when I should be doing homework.

# data[].attributes.body
Would you say your priorities are in order?
Yes, I believe my priorities are definitely in order. I’m focused on my education and make sure to complete my schoolwork. I also value my family, and I make time to help them out or enjoy fun activities together. On top of that, I’m committed to my future career as a professional soccer player—I train daily and continue to build connections in the sport.

Do you feel like you are constantly racing against the clock?
Not really. I try to manage my time well and live each day with purpose. I don’t feel pressure from others, and aside from school deadlines, I’m able to work at my own pace. Being young gives me some flexibility to enjoy life while staying focused.

Do you procrastinate (be honest)? Why or why not?
I do procrastinate sometimes, especially after intense training sessions or soccer games. On those days, I’m usually drained. When I’m not exhausted, I stay on top of my to-do list. But I’ve noticed that some activities take more time than expected—like going to the movies, working on a big English project, or even just needing a nap—so that can throw off my schedule a bit.

Laura’s Lists – Focused on School, Relationships, and Family

School:
I need to complete my readings and assignments. What works best for me is tackling the biggest assignments early in the week and saving the quicker tasks for later. This helps me stay organized and less overwhelmed.

Family:
I make an effort to help out with chores and enjoy quality time with my family—whether we’re relaxing at home or going somewhere fun like the mall, an amusement park, or even on a cruise.

Relationships:
It’s important for me to maintain friendships, meet new people, and maybe start a relationship when the time feels right.

What would you like to make more time for and why?
I’d like to make more time for my family, friends, and personal interests outside of school and soccer. Right now, I don’t have many hobbies besides watching movies and TV. I’d love to explore new skills or passions that give me a break from my regular routine.

If you truly had those 168 empty hours a week, where are you wasting them?
If I had a full 168 hours to spend how I wanted, I’d use about 63 hours for sleep (9 hours a night), 50 with family, 45 with friends, and 20 exploring a new hobby or challenge—like writing, gaming, painting, collecting, or even learning a backflip. I don’t think I’m wasting a ton of time now, but I know I could use some of it more wisely.

What are some steps you plan on taking to "gain control of your free time"?
To take better control of my free time, I plan to use a “Procrastination Prevention Planner.” I’ll map out my weekly priorities—like sleep, meals, schoolwork, and soccer—and set aside time specifically for family, social life, and discovering new hobbies. This way, I can make the most out of every week.

# data[].attributes.body
Would you say your priorities are in order?
Yes, I believe my priorities are definitely in order. I’m focused on my education and make sure to complete my schoolwork. I also value my family, and I make time to help them out or enjoy fun activities together. On top of that, I’m committed to my future career as a professional soccer player—I train daily and continue to build connections in the sport.

Do you feel like you are constantly racing against the clock?
Not really. I try to manage my time well and live each day with purpose. I don’t feel pressure from others, and aside from school deadlines, I’m able to work at my own pace. Being young gives me some flexibility to enjoy life while staying focused.

Do you procrastinate (be honest)? Why or why not?
I do procrastinate sometimes, especially after intense training sessions or soccer games. On those days, I’m usually drained. When I’m not exhausted, I stay on top of my to-do list. But I’ve noticed that some activities take more time than expected—like going to the movies, working on a big English project, or even just needing a nap—so that can throw off my schedule a bit.

Laura’s Lists – Focused on School, Relationships, and Family

School:
I need to complete my readings and assignments. What works best for me is tackling the biggest assignments early in the week and saving the quicker tasks for later. This helps me stay organized and less overwhelmed.

Family:
I make an effort to help out with chores and enjoy quality time with my family—whether we’re relaxing at home or going somewhere fun like the mall, an amusement park, or even on a cruise.

Relationships:
It’s important for me to maintain friendships, meet new people, and maybe start a relationship when the time feels right.

What would you like to make more time for and why?
I’d like to make more time for my family, friends, and personal interests outside of school and soccer. Right now, I don’t have many hobbies besides watching movies and TV. I’d love to explore new skills or passions that give me a break from my regular routine.

Anthony O'Dell

1. Are my priorities in order? I believe my priorities are somewhat in order, but there is always room for improvement. I focus on school, relationships, and personal growth, but sometimes urgent tasks overshadow long-term goals.

2. Do I feel like I am constantly racing against the clock? Yes, at times. Between school assignments, extracurricular activities, and personal responsibilities, I often feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day. However, Vanderkam’s approach to time management suggests that I can take control by prioritizing effectively.

3. Do I procrastinate? Why or why not? I do procrastinate occasionally, especially when tasks feel overwhelming. Sometimes, I delay work because I feel I have plenty of time, only to realize later that I should have started earlier. Recognizing this habit helps me work on better time management strategies.

4. If I truly had those 168 empty hours a week, I would work on:

School: I want to make more time for studying efficiently rather than cramming at the last minute.

Relationships: Spending quality time with friends and family is important, and I need to ensure I’m not neglecting them due to schoolwork.

Family: I want to dedicate more time to meaningful conversations and shared activities with my family.

Steps to Gain Control of My Free Time:

1. Identify time-wasting habits – I will track how I spend my time and eliminate unnecessary distractions.

2. Plan ahead – Scheduling my week in advance will help me allocate time for important tasks.

3. Prioritize effectively – I will focus on tasks that align with my long-term goals rather than just urgent ones.

4. Use small moments wisely – Instead of scrolling on my phone, I can use short breaks for meaningful activities.

1. Would you say your priorities are in order?

I would say my priorities are a yes and a no. I am a full time athlete so i cant really go to a lot of zoom classes, or sometimes get a full understanding of the lesson, so because of that it makes me not want to do the more complex assignments. But i definitely try and stay on my work as best as i can.

2. Do you feel like you are constantly racing against the clock?

Honestly, sometimes i do. I stay at home from when i wake up till about 2 then i leave for practice. On top of that, I help take care of my 2 siblings. I also train every day from 3-7. I get home, shower, shower my siblings, cook occasionally, and do the dishes.

3. Do you procrastinate (be honest)?

i feel like everyone procrastinates. But yes, I do. I do get my homework done at the end of it though. Well, weather its homework or any other normal task.

4. What would you like to make more time for and why?

I would like to make more time for my family. I wish we could go on more vacations as a family. Or to the beach. I would really like to spend more time with my grandparents. They live a bit far from me so its harder to see them. I would really like to get my bike fixed too. If i had 168 empty hours a week half of them would most likley be spent on scrolling through my phone and most definitely doing my laundry.

1.      Would you say your priorities are in order?

I try to keep my priorities in order, and I find it to be an ongoing reminder every week for some of them. My family and the people I care about, school work, and my personal well-being are at the top of my list. Priorities can also change their focus depending on the week or day, like if I am on holiday I don’t think about schoolwork.

2.      Do you feel like you are constantly racing against the clock?

Yes, I do race against the clock sometimes when it comes to schoolwork, especially if it is a big project. I procrastinate and submit some assignments on the due date. I think at times I definitely don’t manage time as well as I think.

3.      Do you procrastinate (be honest)? Why or why not?

Yes, I do procrastinate when it comes to school assignments. Sometimes if it is a subject I don’t like very much, I will wait until the last minute to do it. However, when it comes to going to a place I like or looking for something new I am excited about, I do not procrastinate. So I guess motivation is an important factor.

4.      If you truly had those 168 empty hours a week, where are you wasting them?

I’ll love to travel more, spend time with my family and friends, especially I always try to spend time with my grandma and she appreciates it very much. I will stop procrastinating about going to the gym, for my personal wellbeing. I will keep improving my education at school and learning new things. Like I am interested in photography lately and I’ll like to learn more about it.

5.      What are some steps you plan on taking to "gain control of your free time"?

Some steps to “grain control of my free time” could be to plan my days better. I will limit my screen time. Keep spending time with my family and friends. Do the new things I want to learn and get me excited. “We have time for what matters”, so we should remind ourselves of what matters and share the time to do it.

My health is paramount, and there are things I can't and shouldn't do.

I do my job responsibly and happily, and I enjoy it with my family and share it as much as I can.

2) I don't feel like this is against the clock, it actually took me time and sometimes too much, I know it's wrong, I try to improve it day by day

3) I procrastinate, my main problem is the language, that's why I take so long to submit my work, but I also always look for something else to do.

1. Would you say your priorities are in order?

Mostly, but there are times I get distracted or focus too much on one thing and let other things slide.

2. Do you feel like you are constantly racing against the clock?

Yes, sometimes. There is always something to do, and it feels like there is never enough time to do it all.

3. Do you procrastinate? why or why not?

Yes, I do. Usually, it is because a task feels too big, boring, or stressful. I tell myself I´ll do it later, but that just makes it worse.

Probably I would read something, watch any anime, or go to the beach.

5. What are some steps you plan on taking to "gain control of your free time"?

1. I feel like I do have my priorities set properly. I always know that school and soccer are my priorities before anything else. Then comes family time and extra curriculars.

2. I don't really ever feel like I am racing against the clock, as I try to anticipate things before they become problems, so that I do not have to stress.

3. Sometimes I tend to procrastinate, but it is very rare that I do. I always have a schedule in place so that I know when things need to be done.

4. School is my main priority, as it is what is going to help me later on in life. If I don't do well in school, I will not be able to support my family.

5. Family is my next priority, and it is something I value a lot. Family time to me is something that clears my mind and fills me with peace whenever it is needed. I feel that I am around people I am safe with when I am around family.

6. Relationships is the last priority. Love life and friendships are definitely important. However, without the first two I cannot be focused on relationships.

7. If I had 168 extra hours I would definitely take the time to practice more on soccer and get extra work done in school.

1 I would say that my priorities are in order because I have a schedule that helps me keep track of what I do and what I need to do. This helps organize my week, so it is as effective as possible.

2 Yes, I do feel that I am always against the clock because I have too many things to do and have little spear time. Sometimes I get late to events or meetings because I was too busy doing something else and lost track of time.

3 I only procrastinate with homework because I do not like doing it and it feels like a waste of time. Other than that, I do not procrastinate.

4 My main priority in the list is family. My family is everything to me, it means the world to me and what they do to make me happy is admirable. All the love and support they gave me throughout my life is incomparable that is why they are my main priority.

5 My second priority in this list is relationships. This is crucial because those persons are the ones that make a difference when you are having a bad day. All the memories that I have with my friends are beautiful and they are the ones that supported me through thick and thin as well as my family.

6 My last priority in the list is school and schoolwork. I do not like school and all the stress that is put into students to perform academically well. All those test that dictates your future do not make sense because some students are not good test takers.

7 If I had 168 extra hours I would practice more soccer and spend more time with friends and family.

Organizing your time is essential to managing your daily responsibilities. Reflecting on my priorities, I would say that, for the most part, I am able to prioritize the right things. However, sometimes I find myself spending too much time on less urgent tasks or distractions, which can make it feel like there is never enough time. Laura Vanderkam, in her speech, invites the audience to create a list of priorities. Here are mine:

School: I would like to dedicate more time to studying and not have to do everything at the last minute. I also want to improve my organization, so I have more time for revision and to avoid overload before exams.

Relationships: I want to spend more quality time with friends and family, without being too distracted by my phone or other unimportant activities.

Family: I would like to spend more time with my parents and sister, especially in free moments, to strengthen our bond.

If I really had 168 free hours a week, I would realize that some of them are wasted on unproductive activities, such as time spent on social media or procrastinating instead of tackling important tasks right away. To "gain control of my free time", I can adopt a few strategies:

Plan my days better, breaking up tasks into blocks of time.

Avoid distractions while studying, for example by putting my phone away.

Set clear and achievable goals for each day.

Prioritize rest to be more productive during the day.

By following these strategies, I can improve my time management and better balance my studies, relationships, and free time.

1. I would say that my priorities are somewhat in order, but there is definitely room for improvement. I tend to focus a lot on my school work, which is important, but sometimes at the expense of my relationships and personal well-being. I need to find a better balance to ensure that I'm not neglecting other important aspects of my life.

2. Yes, I often feel like I'm racing against the clock. With a busy schedule filled with classes, homework, and extracurricular activities, it can be challenging to find time for everything. This constant rush can be stressful and overwhelming at times.

3. I do procrastinate, and I think it's because I sometimes feel overwhelmed by the tasks at hand. When I have a lot to do, I tend to put things off, thinking that I'll have more time later. However, this usually leads to more stress as deadlines approach.

4. - School: I would like to make more time for thorough studying and understanding the material, rather than just completing assignments. I also want to participate more in class discussions and group projects.

5. - Relationships: I want to spend more quality time with my friends and family. This includes having meaningful conversations and doing activities together.

6. Family: I would like to help out more at home and be more present during family gatherings.

If I had those 168 empty hours a week, I think I am wasting time on social media and watching TV. Some steps I plan on taking to gain control of my free time include setting specific goals for each day, using a planner to keep track of tasks, and setting aside dedicated time for relaxation and hobbies.

1. I believe my priorities are in order, for the most part, my priorities start with god, next come family, next school, and finally friends but the order sometimes switches.

2. I sometimes feel like I'm racing against the clock, it's primarily when I don't plan my day out, or multiple things disrupt my day plan

3. yes, i sometimes procrastinate but only with difficult school work, once i feel overwhelmed i decide to leave it for another day or later but when it comes down to it i always end up doing the work.

4. Family - instead of spending time in my room watching television, I could spend more time outside with my mom or visit my sisters more often.

5. School - I wouldn't wait for the deadline to finish everything. I would try to stick more to my schedule to make it easier for me.

6. Relationships - I would make sure to finish my work as quickly and efficiently as possible to spend more time with my boyfriend when he comes visit or talk on the phone once I've finished all the work.

7. 168 hours - if I had 168 hours, I would put in the time for the goals I have to get to my future career and also spend time with my family and boyfriend. I believe I waste a lot of time scrolling on my phone for hours or just sleeping more than I should.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I would say my priorities are in order, as I know what is most important for me in this life. I build a system around my priorities to be as time efficient as possible.

2. I wouldn’t think that I am ever against the clock, as I would describe myself as a proactive type of person, and whenever I see a problem or something I have to do, I face it head-on.

3. I am normally an organized guy and I would like to say that I am pretty efficient with my time, but I would be lying if I said that I never procrastinate. It is pretty rare, but there are times where I feel like not doing anything so I just lay on my bed and watch TV or anything like that.

4. My main priority is my family, as they are the people who have given me life and have taken care of me all of my life. They are the people that have made me become the person I am today, and they are the ones that have instilled all of my beliefs and values.

5. Although school is probably more important, my second priority would be relationships. Love and friendships will be there for you for the rest of your life, and they will teach you lessons that you can’t learn anywhere else. I would consider myself a social person, and I have grown really close to some very good friends, and they have helped me through many rough stages in my life.

6. My third priority is school, as it kind of decides my future. Hopefully in college I figure out who and what I really want to be, and hopefully it sets me up for success. Although school is really that important, my first two priorities shape me as a person and make me be who I am today.

7. If I had an extra 168 hours, I would definitely make it count by practicing soccer, studying and doing homework, but most importantly I would spend time with my friends and family and make every second count.

1. I would say that my priority are in order in I constantly like to be ahead the clock cuz I like to be preper for everything, I don’t sometimes procrastinate either I forget to do it or I just let it for later because Im doing something that I really wanted to do

2. I would like to spend more time with my family because we don’t usually do cuz everyone has things to do like job or school and when we see each other is at night and everyone is already tired so I would like to do more activities with them.

3. If i had all those hours i would do a lot of activities and spend at lot of time focusing on myself and doing new things

# data[].attributes.body
1. I would say my priorities are in order for the most part. I believe hockey comes first, family comes next, then school and friends. Sometimes the order switches based on the importance of the task at hand.

2. I only feel I am racing against the clock in the early mornings. I am not much of a morning person and the hockey rink is a far drive so I have to get up really early to pack everything and get ready and that is sometimes a challenge. However, the rest of my days are pretty organized and easy going.

3. Yes, I procrastinate sometimes only with school work but once I get started I commit to it and I finish the task, I hate leaving loose ends and im not one to hand in late assignments I try my best to hand them in when they are due and not late. I procrastinate because I do not enjoy school.

4. Family-   Instead of playing video games and having so much alone time I could take an extra hour to play hockey outside with my brothers or spend more time with my family playing games or just hanging out at home more.

5. School- I wouldn’t wait till the deadline to do my work I would start my work sooner, instead of spending my time scrolling on my phone or watching TV.  I could make a written schedule so I can spread my work out and make it easier rather than backloading it and having less time to do it all.

6. Relationships- I would get my homework done so I could spend more time with my girlfriend on the weekends when she is free. I could coordinate my schedule with hers so I can plan to have more free time where I can see her.

7. 168 hours- If I had 168 extra hours I would put most of the hours into training for hockey so I can develop enough to get to where I want to go in life. I would put the rest of the hours into spending time with my family as they are the people I love most and I feel they deserve the best. I also really enjoy spending time with them. I believe i am wasting my time by not practicing every moment I can or scrolling on my phone for hours throughout the day.

# data[].attributes.body
1) I would say my priorities are in order, I always prioritize God first then my family they always seem to keep me in line when i make mistakes and are always there for me, then I have school and hockey.

2) Yes I always feel like im racing against the clock i’m not very good at time management, it’s hard to manage hockey, school, friends and family and a girlfriend. I’m always late for events because im catching up on the last thing.

3) Yes I procrastinate all the time, I always tell myself i’m going to do it then I put it off until the last minute and never can get them done when they’re first given to me.

school: With school i’m not a very big fan of it i’m never excited doing the work but ik its a going to play a big role in my life so it feels good when I study and get a good grade on a test or when I finish all my work for the week.

Relationships: I am a very caring person so my relationships mean the world to me. My strongest relationship would most likely be my dad, I can always tell him anything and he is always there for me no matter what. Although I will always cherish my relationship with my family, my girlfriend, and my friends.

Family: My family is everything to me, they have always been there for me no matter what, we have gone through so much together through the past years but we came out better and stronger people.

What would you make more time for?

I would make more time for my family, I spend a lot of my time doing school and playing hockey, hanging out with my friends, and my girlfriend, its hard to also make a lot of time for my family. But when I do have time it’s enjoyable with them.

168 hours: If I had 168 hours I would waste them on hockey, bowling, hanging out with my girlfriend and friends, then whatever time I have left I would spend time with my family. The time I spend with my girlfriend is very precious to me and the time I spend with my family is cherished.

Some steps I plan on taking to gain control of my free time is to finish all my school work first so then I clear that time up, then I would create a schedule of things I would want to do with the people I would want to do it with, and at the end of the day come home and spend time with my family

My priorities are definitely in order. I keep God as number 1 always as he fulfills everything that I do through his teachings and his word. I also only focus on baseball and school. I refrain from going out with my friends because I know the fun times I’m missing out on now will all be worth it in the end. I am also recently prioritizing the gym a lot more as I know the stronger I am the more recruit able I become to college coaches.

Do you feel like you are constantly racing against the clock? Feeling like I’m constantly on the clock can be overwhelming, especially when you're juggling responsibilities like school, personal life, and family. i would have to remember to also carve out time for self-care and relaxation to recharge. i also believe that time goes way to fast as you get older and you have to live in the moment.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Yes, I would say I keep my priorities in order. I think It is a great order having family and sports. As my family motivates me to perform better and excel. Giving me motivation for sports as well so I can get better.

2.

No, I do not feel like I am constantly racing against the clock. As I skate and workout in the morning so I can get it over with. Still giving me plenty of of time to do school work after working out. And when I have time left over after that, I can play games, and hangout with my friends.

3.

Yes, sometimes I do, procrastinate. I mostly procrastinate when I am busy or tired, I just say I will do it later. Doing this can cause me to get behind on things like schoolwork. Also I can get ahead of myself and forget about it.

4.

School

In school I have never been the best, but I am getting better. I procrastinate sometimes which can cause me to be behind rather than ahead. When I am procrastinating I fall behind and don’t do well. While when I don’t procrastinate I get ahead and do well.

Relationships

In relationships It is a little awkward until I get to know you. But I do care a lot about them, because real friends are great and can help a lot. I have a couple really great friends. It is nice knowing that we both would help each other no matter how low things get.

Family

I am not at home from 6-3, but my family knows I am getting better. Spending time with my family is one of my favorite things. As I have a great family and we all love each other. We spend a decent amount of time together, but I would like to spend more, as we our not together in the mornings.

5.

I would like to make more time to spend with my family. This is because they motivate me and love me and I feel like I don’t give it back enough. Though I love them I feel I don’t give them enough, because I don’t spend that much time with them. I just feel like I don’t spend enough time with them as they give me everything.

6.

If I had 168 hours to spare, I would spend most of the time with my family and friends. But then train for my sports to get better. I would like to spend time with my friends to hangout and have fun. But then lock in and train for hockey and work out later with time. I feel like I am wasting the time when I am on my phone in my free time.

7.

Some steps I plan to take to “Gain control of my free time” are. To spend less time on my phone or watching tv, to be able to spend more time with my family or working out. That is really the only free time I have in the day. So I feel as if I got rid of it, I could do more with my family and more training.

1. I do believe I keep my priorities in order, no matter what happens I always keep family and school at the top. as I believe that those 2 will always end up being 2 of the most important things in my life.

2. Most of the time I do not feel like I am racing against the clock. Because school being my second priority I will always do what I can to stay ahead or on pace. However there are the weeks where it just doesn't go according to plan and I do end up rushing some assignments because it is getting down to the wire. Some weeks there are real reasons why I didnt get to catch up on school but on the other hand there are the times where I do procrastinate which I am not proud of and trying to break the habit.

3. school. I uaually waste my hours doing something like video games when I could do myself a favor and get my school done then so next week is easier.

Second is my relationships. I am already close with my parents but with a few empty hours why not just strengthen our bond by talking about hockey or something he likes.

1. My priorities are definitely in order. I keep God as number 1 always as he fulfills everything that I do through his teachings and his word. I also only focus on baseball and school. I refrain from going out with my friends because I know the fun times I’m missing out on now will all be worth it in the end. I am also recently prioritizing the gym a lot more as I know the stronger I am the more recruit able I become to college coaches.

2. I wouldn’t say I feel like I’m always racing against the clock but I do sometimes feel the pressure. With me being a senior this year I know this is my last chance at getting the best grades possible for a school to recruit me for baseball. I also feel the pressure balancing baseball and school as I do travel a lot so I’m constantly working to not fall so behind on school work.

3. Procrastinating has to be one of my biggest flaws. I always have the saying, “I’ll just do it tomorrow” so I definitely need to get better at becoming productive and doing things in advance as it well lessen my work loads.

4. School: I need to take it more seriously as most times I am always procrastinating and turning assignments in late. It’s hard because baseball takes up a lot of my time but that is no excuse, I need to learn how to manage my time.

Family: I want to be able to spend more time with my family. I am gone from 9-5 doing baseball and my mom works from home so she’s usually there with my little brother. She understands that I’m working hard for a better future for us but at times we do just want to have a simple family dinner but our schedules don’t line up.

Relationships: My coaches are always very helpful but I need to learn how to take constructive criticism better. I sometimes take it as they’re attacking me but they are talking from a place of love and experience. They simply want me to play better.

5. I want to make more time for my family. At the end of the day they are my backbone and without them I don’t know where I would be. I also want to make more time for God and grow closer to him. Everything that I do needs to be through and for him.

6. If I had 168 hours to waste I would try to train as much as possible because I know my ultimate goal is to play professional baseball and until I’m being paid to play there shouldn’t be off days.

7. I am going to start writing my weeks out on a schedule planner so I have a better view of what I must get done and also how much free time I have for the week for my family and God.

How to gain control of your free time?

1. Would you say your priorities are in order?

Honestly, I believe, I do keep my priorities in order. First of all I'm in school looking for job opportunities or applying to colleges. I'm a very ambitious person, and even if I'm sure of the outcome. I'm willing to persevere through it anyway no matter the ups and downs it's all about risk-taking and stepping out of your comfort zone. I'm committed to being the best version of myself. Being a student, role model, making my family proud, and do stuff with time and care. Also, I'm a true worshiper of God, and I know he'll lead me in the right path, so being a leader not a follower so don't get peer-pressured into doing anything reckless or stupid to get into serious trouble or even death.

2. Do you feel like you are constantly racing against the clock?

Judging from my point of view, I would say indeed I feel like I'm constantly racing against the clock. I'm always put in a predicament where I have to do this, or I have to do that in order to get that. Most of time it's very stressful and I feel like time got it out for me because I'm put into this position to know everything. Then get things done in a timely manner that is suitable to my liking which sometimes never work out. However, I do feel like if I keep prioritizing my life and take those risks to live the life I want to live God will help me along the way. Maybe then, will I really feel like I'm not racing against the clock that much.

3. Do you procrastinate (be honest)? Why or why not?

Honestly, yes I have and do procrastinate especially when it comes to school work, because it sometimes gets frustrated or boring. Sometimes I just need some sort of distraction to get away from that stress or the boredom. In addition, when I watch movies or tv series I definitely procrastinate because I like a handful of genres when to come to watching movies and tv series. However, sometimes bing-watching those movies and shows I sometimes lose interest and get tired of it and put it off for another time or not even revisit just for the sake of time and my mental.

My census

School: I definitely have to stop procrastinating and buckle in. I'm a senior and this is my last year before college or what my future endeavors are. Also, since this is my last year it's absolutely important to put in my best effort, and finish off strong and not slack or else it will catch up to me and karma is a real pain, and real so I want to avoid that at all costs and do what I know is right for myself and the shape for my future.

Family: I need to work on spending more time with my family and working on relationships that needs fixing, even it means traveling or just having a deep intricate conversation with that family member and get back to the good days. Also, I need to save money to plan trips with my family, and the family I want to have so I can capture those memories and live life to the fullest before that adolescence kicks in.

Relationships: I need to work on my social skills because sometimes I need to be serious and I'm not and sometimes just joke about certain things that should be taken more serioiusly. Which I can definitely work on it's all about shaping myself and learning from my weaknesses.

4. What would you want more time for and why?

I would want more time with my grandmother, because I look up to her, I love her, and she's such a huge impact on my family that just having the days to share that beauty and the compassionate person she's I would want to have more time for that. If everlasting moments and memories was a thing I would want time have it with my grandmother who is just one of the main reasons I am who I am, and she just has a place in my heart that I can never take for granted.

5. If I had 168 hours a week, where are you wasting your time?

Oh I would definitely waste my time traveling, bing watching movies and shows, eating exotic foods, and just explore and get out my comfort zone. Especially like going on a hot air balloon or going zip-lining on a cruise again. Oh and one more thing go sky-diving or visiting a volcano and really learn about the geographic composition of our beloved planet Earth.

6. What are some steps you are taking to "gain control of your free time?"

Some guidelines that I have set for myself in order to obtain this "control of free time" is one making sure that all times I'm doing things to the best of my ability and not slack, basically no procrastinating. Next, prioritize myself even more and add things to help me in the long-run and become that version of myself that I know I can be. Finally, I would say just believing and praying to God to hear my prayers and wisdom to allow him to watch over me and help me walk in his footsteps to the beauty of life is what I want. I want to be in the hands of God and be the man he wants me to be because I'm a child of God, and because he told me so.

1. My priorities are in order: I skate for 12 hours a week, work out for 7 hours off the ice, and complete my schoolwork early.

2. I would not say that I am running against the clock, as I have gotten good at realizing that there are 24 hours in a day, and I can use all of them if I need to. So when you think like that, then you start to divide. You need only nine hours of sleep, so you get 15 hours daily to get stuff done. If you can't get everything you need to complete in 15 hours, you waste a lot of time trying to answer number.

3. Yes, I do sometimes, but I rarely do, and if I do, I make up for it by doing twice the work to make up for what I lost.

My list

1. In school, I made the honor roll again, finished early, and improved my understanding of the technical aspects of online school.

2. Relationships ask my coaches more and better questions about improving myself as an athlete, keeping in better contact with my friends and surrounding myself with even less negativity.

3. I will keep in better contact with my family and meet up with them in person.

I will spend 168 hours like this in a week: 15 hours skating/playing hockey, 63 sleeping, 7 working out in the gym, 20 hours on school, 10 hours with my friends, and spend the rest of them enjoying myself or to be total, I get 53 extra hours to do whatever.

1. Would you say your priorities are in order?

I would say my priorities are in order. I am doing school while taking care of my baby. I am also committed to graduating and enrolling in sonography school. I am also committed to being a good partner, wife, mom, and student. I also prioritize things that matter like my future and god. Rather than partying and doing bad things that kids in this generation do for "fun".

2. Do you feel like you are constantly racing against the clock?

Yes, I do feel this way because doing school and taking care of a newborn is very time consuming. I am always tired and putting off assignments. I tend to rush and stress to meet deadlines for assignments. I try to make sure I don't leave assignments for past due but its sometimes hard to sit down and focus on one thing while im always getting interrupted.

3. Do you procrastinate (be honest)? Why or Why not?

Before I became a mom I would never procrastinate. Now that I am a mom it is sometimes hard to juggle a million things at once. From doctors appointments to feeding times to wellness checkups its a lot. I tend to procrastinate homework assignments because I am either tired or I need a mental health break from all the assignments. I am usually taking a lot of breaks and then comes the day the assignment is due and im cramming it all into one.

MY LIST

1. School: I have to stop procrastinating. Maybe if I create a goal of doing 3 assignments a day , I won't have many assignments by the time they are due. I can also find someone to watch the baby whilst im doing homework so I can focus and get it assignments done. I can also prioritize my sleep and sleep all morning so I can do homework all afternoon, and then rest in the evening.

2. Family: I need to work on spending more time with my family and making an effort to visit them. Although its been a hard first months with a newborn I have been secluded. Now that he's 2 months I will go see them after school and spend time with them. Maybe have dinner once a week and visit my grandparents more often while they are still here.

3. Relationships: I need to work on being kinder to my partner during stressful times. With a baby times can get stressful but I will keep the mindset that my partner is my teammate not my enemy. I will work on myself and my emotions better to be the best version of myself for my husband and my baby boy and those around me.

1. What would you like to make more time for and why?

I would like to make more time for my siblings. Although I have a new life and a new family I can't forget about the family I grew up with. They are the most important people to me, they are my best friends and I love them so much. It hurts me to be away from people I created my best memories with, memories that made me who I am. Even though it is hard with a baby I want to try and make more time for them as he gets older. Now that summer break is approaching I will be hanging out with them more.

2. If I had 168 hours a week, where are you wasting them?

If I had 168 hours a week I would use 63 to sleep. 50 with my family , 45 going out and doing something new, and 20 working or finding a business idea to help provide for my family.

3. What are some steps you plan on taking to "gain control of your free. time"?

I plan on getting a planner and planning my days before they start. As well as creating a schedule of how much time to spend on homework each day that way I can divide my time equally. I will also get a mini white board and write out important things in big letters so I do not forget them along with the time. Lastly I will get ready an hour in advance to avoid delays and never be late.

1. Would you say your priorities are in order?

I would say my priorities are definitely in order. I’m in school and doing my work. I appreciate and help my family with whatever they need help with or enjoy leisure activities with them. I’m working towards my future career of being a professional soccer player by training every single day and networking.

2. Do you feel like you are constantly racing against the clock?

I don’t feel like I’m constantly racing against the clock because I try to use my time wisely each day and I appreciate every moment of my life. I also don’t feel this way because no one is pressuring me from the outside, except semester deadlines, and I’m young.

3. Do you procrastinate (be honest)? Why or why not?

I procrastinate; usually on days when I’m playing a soccer game or training for a long time. If not, then I try to stay on top of my “To-Do list” but some activities take time away from others; whether it be seeing a movie in theaters, soccer practice, a slideshow project for English class, or taking a nap.

Create the lists that Laura is asking her audience to create. However, instead of career, yours should focus on school, relationships, and family.

1. School; I have to read through all the lessons and complete my assignments. I have found the easiest way to do this is to complete the biggest assignments first and the smaller assignments that take up much less time later on. Doing big assignment at the start of the week and smaller ones at the end of the week seems to be the best order for me.

2. Family; I have to help my family with chores and enjoy time with them at home, the mall, an amusement park, a cruise, or wherever we happen to go together.

3. Relationships; I have to spend time with my friends, make new ones, and potentially get a girlfriend at some point.

1. What would you like to make more time for and why?

I would make more time for my family, friends, and activities away from school and soccer. I don’t really have a hobby besides watching TV and movies and I would like to learn new skills or find something else I like to do apart from soccer.

2. If you truly had those 168 empty hours a week, where are you wasting them?

If I had 168 empty hours a week, I would use 63 to sleep (9 hours a day), 50 of them being with or helping my family, 45 with my friends, and 20 finding or doing a new hobby or challenge, whether it be writing, painting, playing video games, collecting, or learning how to do a backflip.

3. What are some steps you plan on taking to "gain control of your free time"?

I plan on outlining my weeks through a “Procrastination Prevention Planner” where I outline my priorities for the week, including but not limited to, sleep, meals, school, and soccer, and slotting as much time as possible for time with family, friends, and new hobbies.

1. I would say my priorities are in order as I feel like I have enough time in my day to do what I need and want to do.

2. I do feel like I'm racing against the clock because, with all of the things that play into my life, I try to make sure to have time and or energy to do whatever needs to be done at that moment.

3. Yes, because sometimes life can be a bit messy and lead to less-than-great results but procrastination is normal and happens anywhere and at any time even if it is random.

My List

Career Options

I want to get into the gaming industry because video games have forged not only ideals that I hold near to my heart but new relationships with people that I know very well and care for very much. Though the industry is expansive with plenty of positions to look at, so it is hard to choose what to choose and when to choose it.

If I Had 168 Hours a Week to Work With

I would spend my time in fourths as it allows me to spend time with family, friends, school/career scouting, and time to spend by myself. With fourths in mind, I would spend 42 hours with each of the categories I laid out for myself.

How to gain control of my career, questions

Are my priorities in order? 100% of my priorities are in order, and more so than ever. I do not take school as my primary priority, it can take a back seat to my career in the Navy. Even as my second priority, I should have no trouble passing my last year swimmingly so it's okay that it takes 2nd. As for how I have my priorities in order, I work out at least 6 hours a day 6 days a week and mentally train myself on the structure of government, economics, foreign diplomacy, and Leadership. I do this because I wish to serve my country not only as a soldier but as a member of public service. I work incredibly hard every day and additionally, I also complete schoolwork online.

Do I feel as if I am racing against the clock? Yes, I do. As much as I know how much time I have left, I also understand critically that the human body is something that takes time to perfect, I feel I will be ready but the sense of urgency keeps me locked in. Additionally, it gives me a sense of guilt and anger when I realize how much time I have wasted and this propels me to push with all I have with the time I do have.

Do I procrastinate? Yes of course everyone procrastinates, however I don't do it as much as I'd like to because I have set times for everything I'm supposed to do, if I don't get it done on time it is failure so I don’t have a lot of time to procrastinate.

My list

God, my faith is one thing I neglected to share above, it is not something I can describe on a meager page, it is something that even surrounded and entrenched will not be forsaken. This is not something I can put into words but the ferocity I bring to life is propelled by my faith, my faith justifies my decisions and even in the worst of conditions the legacy of my life and faith in Jesus Christ steadies my resolve and silently guides my every decision.

Country, Everything I do is for my Country. I am the son of an immigrant, we came to this country with not but two pennies to rub together, and we now live in one of the wealthiest towns in America. My family is from Cuba, and I have seen what communism and evil have done to this country.  I am a student of history, and I will dedicate my life to defeating it. I know that such horrors lurk in the corners of Washington, in the world, and even in our communities. I am inspired by the actions of our forefathers, namely George Washington, James Madison, and all of the founding fathers. Most people do not know the sacrifices they made to give us these freedoms, an undeniable truth is that people are coming to take these freedoms. We must not let them win.

If you truly had those 168 hours a week where are you wasting them?

If i waste any time, it is in the times that i am not actively bettering myself, perhaps when i watch tv or a show. There is only so much you can do when you have to account for resting periods to grow your muscles and regenerate your wounds.

I dont have plans to change my life as it is working but i will bring a fiercer approach to it.

I would say right now in my life my priorities are in order. I go to school, work and come back home and spend quality time with my family. Yes, I feel like I am constantly racing against the clock. The reason I say this is because even if I wake up at 7am I always feel like time runs out on me. Yes, I do procrastinate. I always say, "I'll do it later". Then later comes on and I continue to do the same thing, till it's last minute and I have no other choice but to finish it.
In school I feel like I should invest more time into studying and when it comes to my family I would love to be able to always be home with them and share time. I would like to make more time for my family because I feel like last summer, I was extremely away from my family and focused on the wrong things. I wasted a lot of my time. If I had 168 hours to empty, I'd divide between family, friends, school and work. My everyday routine. Some steps I will take towards gaining power of my own time would be organizing more my days and planning things ahead.

# data[].attributes.body

I could be making sure my schoolwork gets done, watching my favorite netflix show, reading a book, working my part time, and spending time with my boyfriend.

7. What are some steps you plan on taking to "gain control of your free time"?
Some steps that i plan on taking is making a schedule that has the time for my schoolwork, to run errands, read a book, and go to the gym. I will schedule in my whole day even my shower to make sure i am able to have enough time in the day for everything.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that for the most part I am pretty good at managing my time. As an athlete you do not have the time to fall behind anywhere so it's not like a have much of a choice. I used to procrastinate a lot. But then I realized that the feel of getting something done is better than not doing something that you know you have to do. When it comes to time management, I have a very rigid schedule. 4 hours of school in the morning. 2 hours of hockey in the afternoon and an hour in the gym after that. With things like lunch and breaks included I look at about 10–12-hour days out of the house. The only thing I could do better is the use of that 4 hours of school. Sometimes I may take breaks when I don't need them. Now this doesn't cause me to fall behind, but it does stop me from getting ahead.

If you truly had those 168 empty hours a week, where are you wasting them? - A lot actually, gaming, drawing, writing, reading. A lot can come from a week of doing nothing.

I plan on going to the gym more often.

I'd say my priorities are definitely in the right place. In actuality, I only devote a few hours to activities that won't benefit me in the long run. such as simply using my phone or watching television. I do my homework for the majority of the morning. I get out of bed around nine and begin my homework. I typically finish at around three in the afternoon. I typically play video games after, and I start cooking at around five o'clock. I have practice from 8 to 9 after I finish my chores. I don't necessarily put things off or race against the clock because I have good discipline. I am well-organized and reliable. I don't need to make a list for friends because I have friends, but I should call my family more often, so I will work on that.

-Do you feel like you are constantly racing against the clock?

Sometimes I do  feel like I am constantly racing against the clock. This is because I do school, work and have time for me which is working out. I have to fit all that into one day. I do create a schedule but sometimes things do not go the way
it seems.

Do you procrastinate (be honest)? Why or why not?
To be honest I sometimes do, for instance I may be excercising and all of a sudden I get distracted by my phone and just quit. I am working on that and trying my best not to.

List-

Family- I would love for my family to come back together and have more family time, we barely have time because we are always busy working or doing school.

School- I am almost done and about to graduate but for my future self I would say to have more time for myself to do work and not behind my assignments.

Relationships- I would like to have time to meet new people and interact with them.

Where would I be wasting those 168 hours?

I would be working and saving up money or just focusing on myself more and exercising and cooking my own food instead of eating out.

What are some steps you plan on taking to "gain control of your free time"?

Some steps I plan on taking to gain control of my free time would be more organized and not procrastinating when doings things that I can get easily distracted.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that my priorities are in order I just do not act on them. I do feel that I am constantly racing against time. I procrastinate because I have so much to do that it leaves me immobilized sometimes. In school, I would like to have the discipline to sit down and do the work that I need to do always, not leave it for the last minute. Instead of relationships, I have tennis which is the sport that I play and will play in college. I need to also focus and do my best to get the results I want on top of that I need to do the fitness of it. With family, they live far but I can call them more often and see how they are doing. I would like to make more time for school because I am falling behind but this week I really been on it. The steps I plan to utilize the 168 hours a week is to have a routine and stick by it to be more efficient.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes. I would say that my priorities are in order because I always make sure to do the things that are more important first, and the least important stuff after. Even though my priorities are in order, I do feel like sometimes I am constantly racing against the clock. Sometimes I don’t accomplish or finish a certain task at the time that I want to, so that sometimes leaves me frustrated. I definitely am a procrastinator. I procrastinate especially when a task or assignment’s due date is far away, and I always end up doing it last minute. I would like to make more time for school because lately I have been having trouble balancing school and work. I don’t really need to focus on relationships, maybe I can work on being more attentive. For family, I’m with them everyday so I don’t need to make more time for them. If I had 168 empty hours a week I would definitely spend more time at school and at work. Those are the main things that I need to focus on. Some steps that I should take is being less of a procrastinator and beginning with the end in mind when getting ready to make a decision or complete a task.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Would you say that your priorities are in order?- I somewhat think my priorities are in order. I do think that I could improve though, because for smaller priorities I never get to them and just waste my time doing other stuff that wont benefit me in life.
2. Do you feel like you are constantly racing against the clock?- Yes, I do feel that way I always leave everything until last minute and everything just keeps bundling up. This leads me to have to rush through everything and trying to get everything done before times up.
3. Do you procrastinate why or why not?- Yes I procrastinate a lot. This is because I leave everything to last minute and I think its not really my "priority" at the moment. Also when I start assignments or anything that needs to be done I get distracted and say I am going to go back to doing my assignments but I never do.
My List:
School: Actually pay attention to my RLI classes. Not procrastinate on my assignments. Also, do my class assignments in class and not afterschool hours.

Relationships: Stop drifting away from my friends and actually start caring about talking to them. Hang out with my friends more often. Check up on my bestfriend even though she replaced me with a boy.

Family: Go out more places with my parents. For me and my sister to not get into irrelevant arguments. Lastly, talk to my grandparents more often.

What would you like to make more time for and why?- I would like to make more time for my sister. This is because I feel like we get too caught up in our school assignments or social media that we forget we have each other. I would also like to make more time to read.

If I truly had those 168 hours a week I am wasting them on procrastination, social media, YouTube and Netflix.

# data[].attributes.body
Would you say your priorities are in order? On some days, I do think that I my priorities in order. I have a schedule of what to do everyday and to fit everything that I need to accomplish for a specific day and then the rest of the week. Sometimes I get it done, but if I don't have time for something I try to get it done some other time in the week.
Do you feel like you are constantly racing against the clock? I sometimes do feel like I'm racing against the clock because I can't always finish some things during the same day I plan to finish it. However, I try my best and put deadlines and always manage to finish it the original time I started out with.
Do you procrastinate (be honest)? Yes, I do procrastinate and I think a lot of people do that. I end up working on, for example, a school assignment and then my mind tells me I need a 5 minute break, but that break turns into 10, then 15, then an hour and so on and eventually postpone it for another time. It's a bad habit that I try to work on.
My list:
Family= Go out with my family to places that we all like, not getting into unnecessary arguments with my sister, and be closer to my cousins.
School: Try to pay more attention to my classes, get my work done during the class period and not afterschool, and less procrastination.
Relationships: I would like to see my friends more often on the weekends, improve relationships that feel off, and make new friends.
What would you like to make more time for and why? I would like to make more time for hanging with my sister.  I want to make more time for this because I always want me and her to always have a good relationship throughout our lives and I love hanging out with her but want to do it more outside the house (like going to the mall or movies).
If you truly had those 168 empty hours a week, where are you wasting them? If I had 168 empty hours a week, I would be going out all the time. To the malls, with my friends, my sister. Going to amusement parks, go to Louisiana to see my friends over there. Anything that's fun basically.
What are some steps you plan on taking to "gain control of your free time"? Some steps that I plan on taking to "gain control of my free time" is to create a schedule, even though I already sort of have one (in my mind) I would literally create one and add things that I really want to do, such as swimming and going out.

# data[].attributes.body
For the most part would say that my priorities are in order. My main priorities right now are school and work, making sure I’m doing well in my classes as well as growing my leadership skills at my job. Honestly yes, I feel like I never have enough hours in a day to get everything done and it feels like a daily battle. Yes, I’m a big time procrastinator. I feel like I work better understand pressure which is not good because then I’m  just minimize my timeline of completing things that’s need to get done. Family is the most important thing to me, and spending time with the people you share you blood with is often taken for granted in this world. We never know when we will take our last breath, and life can be taken away in a second. So for me it’s important to everyday take a moment and spend time with my family talking about our day. School, spend more time studying rather than scrolling through social media. Relationships, I go to work almost every single day and through the months I’ve made some wonderful friends. I would like to get to know them better and talk to them on a daily basis even if it’s just a “Hi, how are you?” Because that can go a long way in making someone’s day, knowing someone cares. If I had 168 empty hours I would probably be wasting them by scrolling on Tiktok or Netflix. A step I would take is making myself a schedule to follow everyday to keep myself accountable of getting this done when they are supposed to be done.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say that my priorities are in order. I feel as if I can improve some of my organization, but for the most part my priorities are where they need to be. Though, I feel as if I am racing the clock because I try to finish several task in a day besides rationing them between every other day. I sometimes procrastinate because I am always so busy. I try to balance my school work with dance practice, baby-sitting my little brother, and taking care of my dog. As well as several distractions such as television, social media, and FaceTiming friends. Majority of the time I usually avoid these distractions until I have my priorities dealt with and done.

Family: I can try to communicate with the family members that I do not usually speak with daily.

School: I can put more effort and time into my studies for improvement.

Relationships: I can socialize with others more to perhaps make more friends, and make more time to spend with my closest friends.

I would want to manage my time more efficiently, and make room to spend more time with my family and friends. I feel as if I am always in my room either doing homework or on my phone, so I really want to hang out more with those that care for me. If I had 168 empty hours, I would try to finish as much homework as I can along with exercising and going out with friends to have a good time. Some steps that I plan on taking to “gain control of my free time” is to stop procrastinating, avoiding distractions, and organizing an agenda each day so that all of my daily tasks are set up in a timely manner.

Would you say your priorities are in order?  I think my priorities are in order most of the time. I'm sure I can do better in certain areas but the majority of the time yes.

My List:
Family - I can try and text my cousins more because I don't normally talk to them unless we are all together which doesn’t happen often.

Yes i would say that my priorities are in order because my top priorities would be school and baseball and I am really ahead in both. Yes sometimes when I don't do my school work early I feel rushed against the clock to get my work done on time and not turn them in late. No I do not feel like I procrastinate. School: I want to actually pay attention to what I am learning and expand my knowledge in different subjects that can probably be useful in the future.
Family/friends: I would like to spend more time with my family and choose much wisely my group of friends. What I would like to make more time for is my friends and family because I really don't get to see my friends due to baseball. Where i would waste those hours would be with my friends and training baseball to reach my goal. Some steps i plan on taking to gain control of my free time is by planning ahead of time and write it down to not forget.

I believe I have my priorities straight as I have set myself certain goals and I do whatever it takes to achieve them. I work as hard as I can on and off the field to be the best version of myself. No, I do not believe I am racing against the clock because I have a set schedule to make sure I get things done with time to spare and do what I want. Yes, I do procrastinate but then I remember what my goals are and start to get to work as time is valuable. When it comes to school i want to push my grades up until they are completely all A's as for my family I would like to take the time to call them everyday and have a good conversation as I do not see them everyday. If I had those 168 empty hours I will use them to see my family back home and spend time with them as they are a big part of my life and help me through everything. I believe to take control I must stop procrastinating because I already have a set schedule but I must follow through with this to stay on task.

I would say that my priorities are definitely in order. In reality I only spend a couple hours doing things that won’t help for the future. I spend most of the morning doing homework. I wake up around 9 and start my homework. I normally finish a couple hours later, around 11 or 12. At that time I normally go to the gym. I get back around 1-1:30. Then I’ll either play video games for an hour or get on my phone for bit until practice which starts at 3:30. I then get back late, at around 8. I then shower, eat, and play some videos games to end off the night. If I truly did have 168 empty hours in a week, I feel like I would use it wisely.

I do procrastinate because I'm always saying that I'm going to do things later. I would love to make more time for my family since I barely see them because we all work at different times and if I truly have 168 empty hours a week I would use some of those hours on them. Some steps that I plan to take to gain control of my free time is to follow my schedule and make sure I do everything.

I definitely think that my priorities are in order.. I have all my work done for school on time, I work two jobs, and I help out in the house. I definitely feel like I'm constantly racing against  the clock because I never stop, I always have something to do. I procrastinate on my school work a lot because of the fact that I have a lot of responsibilities and most of the time I just tell myself that I will do later. One thing I should focus more on is definitely making more time for my family and friends because i barely see them. If I had 168 hours free per week I would have some time for myself and the rest of the time I would be hanging out with my bestfriends and my sisters. I don't really ever have free time so I don't really need to change anything.
