Turn off the TV, shut down the computer, and complete whatever task you are delaying. (All)

Avoid unnecessary meetings. (Roland)

Limit grocery shopping to once a week. (Ting)

Eat light, especially lunch. This will ensure that you don't get sleepy in the afternoon (Ting)

It is argued that students who have no more than 10 hours ofpaid work a week are more effective than students who do notwork or work longer hours.

Spreadsheets:•Analyze data and sort list items•Statistical data modelling•Computing data•Graphing funtions•Short term storage of raw data

Databases:•No duplication of data between information tables•Store a large amounts of data

Best program for our data?Spreadsheet

Relational database and Spreadsheet

• spreadsheet displays data, database stores data

• spreadsheet data is easier to manipulate

•Spreadsheet does not need constraints

•Database have limitations because of constraints, spreadsheet data can be freely changed

•Spreadsheet leans towards visuals, database leans towards tables and applications

spreadsheet displays data, database stores data

• a spreadsheet is a simple lists designed to display data, relational databases are a collection of tables of related data

Relational database:

• spreadsheet does not contain as much data making them easier to manipulate•Relational databases are more complex as they have more data

Spreadsheet data is easier to manipulate

Spreadsheet does not need constraints

•Spreadsheet does not require constraints in order to work•Relational databases requires constraints to organise and store data•Database constraints are easily noticeable

Constraints

•If a spreadsheet does contain constraints, they are “hidden”

•Data can only be entered into database if its considered “a legal operation” •Limitations are caused by constraints•Spreadsheet data without constraints can be changed freely

Database have limitations because of constraints, spreadsheet data can be freely changed

Spreadsheet leans towards visuals, database leans towards tables and applications•Spreadsheet can be turned into visuals such as:

•Charts•Graphics•animations

•Relational databases are used in:•Database applications•tables•forms

Conclusion

•For such a data that we have used, a spreadsheet approach is better

• many factors contribute to how we all spend our time

•Age difference•Work•Social connectivity
