School closes for Term 1 on Wednesday, 20 March 2024. The autumn break is an opportunity for you to find an interesting book to tread. Make it your goal to join a library and to read a book from cover to cover. Your life, especially in terms of your academics, will never be the same again!
Giving yourself some sort of incentive is a great motivator to keep at your goals. Humans are naturally wired to do better at tasks that incentivise reward. Which is why we study hard for A’s, train hard for gold medals, and work hard to increase salaries. When it comes to time management tips for learners, these rewards can be simple things like giving yourself a piece of candy when you’ve completed your tasks for the day.
It will be hard for you to start implementing these tips if you say you’ll do it later. Now is not the time (no pun intended) to wait for your schedule to magically appear in front of you. Here’s what you can do right this second:
1. Make a list of your deadlines for the semester
2. Get yourself a planner
3. Write out your personal goals (long and short term)
4. Make your schedule for tomorrow
5. Set reminders to start working on those task
6. Keep up with it! Hopefully these time management tips will help you become a better high school student. Remember that a lot of these methods are simply about organising your brain onto paper so that you don’t have to cram everything into your head. Our bodies are not designed for remembering every little thing we have to do. Sometimes we just need a little helping hand to keep track of things. And that’s okay!
