Time Management

If you want to get the most out of life and find time for the things you want to do as well as the things you have to do, you must learn to manage your time!

There are 4 important steps to managing your time.

STEP 1 - Think

- How do you spend your time?
- Record for a week how much time you spend on different activities e.g. watching TV!

STEP 2 - Criticise

- Look at what you've recorded in step 1 and add up how much time you spend on different activities.
- Any surprises?
- Any ways you are wasting time?

STEP 3 - Prioritise

- Are there any ways you could use your time better?
- Work out what is really important to you!
- Do you really need to watch every soap opera on TV?

STEP 4 - Plan

- Use your pupil diary to record homework you have to do, deadlines for projects or folio work, dates of exams, etc. so that nothing gets left to the last minute.

P.S. Don't forget birthdays, visits, etc. Plan some rewards for your hard work!
