Step 1:
Make a To-Do List
Write Down all of the things that you need to get done for the day.
Add to it throughout the day.
As you complete the task you can cross it off or put a check mark next to it!
Limit Distractions
If you are trying to get yourself organized and ready for the day, watch out for distractions.
A distraction is a thing that prevents someone from giving full attention to something else.
An example of a distraction could be your phone, email, other people around you.
Use a Calendar or Planner
Write assignments or events on your calendar/planner as soon as you know about them.
Have things written down so you can look ahead for the week and know what is happening. Then you can add to your To Do list anything that you need to accomplish to be successful for the week.
Having a schedule also helps you to set aside time for each task/event.
Make sure you also add a set time for homework/studying so that you get it done.
Get Organized
This is one of the hardest steps. This step may take a while to accomplish and will be a step that you are always working on.
When you organize your school work and papers it will help you to better know what you need to add to your To-Do list and what needs to be added to your calendar/planner.
Knowing where your supplies are and where to put things away will help you to manage your time throughout the day and week.
Get Some Rest
Getting a good nights sleep will help you to better manage your time.
Students who get 8-10 hours of sleep are able to focus better and be more successful throughout the day.
In order to accomplish all of the other task you need to first get a good night of rest.
