Free Printable: How to Help Your Student Budget Their Time

January 29, 2025

We often encourage parents to talk to their children about budgeting money, but what about budgeting time? Learning to manage time is just as important—especially for teens. It helps them handle the stress of school, sports, clubs, and social activities. Plus, it sets them up for success as they navigate life after high school and enter the workforce.

As kids return to school after the holiday break, now is the perfect time to discuss time-management strategies. The worksheet below is a great tool to get started. Have your teen fill it out and do the same yourself to spark a conversation about balancing your busy schedules.

Fill in the activity name and the number of hours required for each activity. Then, shade in the corresponding number of hours on the wheel. You may find there aren’t enough hours in the day to accomplish everything, in which case you’ll need to do some time budgeting!
