Decide what additional information to collect (e.g., feelings while engaged in an activity, alone or not, self-instigated or not). Before you begin this 2-day time diary, write down your predictions: What percentage of your time will be spent with others, what percentage engaged in academic study, etc. Gather activity data for 2 days, then analyze and summarize your results. Categorize each activity as to type. Note the percentage of time given to each category.
