This is why it is not included in the time allocation. If you however need it, block another 30 minutes per day or according to your requirement. The Free Time If you have followed the computation, you are left with 55 hours for the week that you can use. If you allocate 4 hours each day for socializing and doing other personal things like jobs, attending extra curricular activities, writing letters, checking on e-mail etc you will still have 28 hours for the week that could be spent further on study periods or your personal time. Let the week be our benchmark. Out of that take away all the time that you will need for sleep and rests, meals, personal things, errands and all those things that you can not do without.

They rarely have fat files as files that are not so relevant are discarded or kept in the general circulars. The reality here is that fat files are seldom looked upon. They consume so much time just browsing through them. Reduces stress Often it is not the amount of work done but the amount of work that is yet to be done that causes stress. This is complicated by the frenzy of activity that one goes through without showing much for results. Reduces anxiety Anxiety is more often the result of not being sure where one is going.
