One of the exercises that we’ve been asked to do this week is consider our “optimal” and “satisfactory” hours spent on various activities in the MBA program. Honestly, I have no idea what is realistic. So, I counted up the number of waking hours during the week (~119 if you’re getting 7hrs of sleep a night) and took a wild guess. Here’s the spread I’m looking at right now.

My only two solid numbers are:

(1) 17% of my time will be spent in class. I have 4-hours of class each weekday.

Theoretically you’re supposed to study 2 hours for every hour of class, right? If that holds true, 34% of my time will be doing that.

(2) At the very least, 15% of my week will be spent with Scott. We’ve scheduled Sundays for hanging out together, grocery shopping and cooking for the week. This is something some of the 2nd year student recommended, and I’m relieved to have it as a standing commitment.

I think everything else is going to be very fluid, and depend on the week. I’m considering joining 5 different student clubs right now, and I’m stoked about case competitions. I’ll write more about all of that later. There just aren’t enough hours!
