Time Management

  All day I've been thinking about todays post. After pondering it some more, it hit me. I was right in the middle of doing homework on my bed, just remembering today and looking back at everything. Then what to write about just suddenly came to me.  Today I was in one of my class periods, and my friend who sits next to me noticed that I always have labeled in my agenda days before "think about blog post/draft" and that on Wednesdays and Sundays I have "blog post." I think that I'm a very organized person, I'm all about having a plan and having everything in my agenda. She saw it, looked up at me and said "Aw, how do you have time for it? How do you manage to do it? Are there times when you don't do it because you don't have time?" So that led me to think about a time management post!  It's past back to school time, or at least for me it is. But time management is something that you can learn at any time and use it wisely.

• Have a schedule/routine. I get home from school, waste about an hour or so (I get out of school at 2:05, I start doing what I should be doing by 3:00-3:15) Usually I talk to my mom a bit, I help her out, I just sit and check social media. I do my homework early because I'm that type of person. If I don't do my homework early in the day and leave it for the night time, then later at night I won't put in 100% of my effort. You have to know yourself and be able to recognize the type of person that you are.

• It's all about adjusting. If I volunteer Mondays then I need to get home do the work that's due the next day, and the work that's due later on in the week, I'll slack off on, I do twice the work to make up for it on Tuesday. You've really got to adjust to your schedule. This goes for sports, clubs, and any extracurricular.

• Reward yourself. I do my work so early so I can relax for the rest of the night. I can watch Netflix, I can write a blog post, I can just waste time and not think about school.

• Have a good sleeping schedule. ALL or well maybe about 98% of us high school students have a horrid sleeping schedule. We're sleep deprived. Today I took a pre-test in one of my classes, I fell asleep after finishing it. I swear, those ten minutes were the best ten minutes I've had throughout the past three weeks that I've been in school. I'm usually in bed by 9:40, 10:30 tops. But then again keep in mind this has not been going on for a long time, this has only been for three weeks. I can honestly say that I don't fall asleep at that time, but I am in bed and I am relaxed and ready to go to sleep. (try reading a book to fall asleep or play some soft music)

 

  Is it hard? How do you do it? Yes, it is hard. Very hard. I don't know how I do it, I just try as hard as I can. Effort really goes a long way. Hard work always pays off, you might not see it immediately, but in the long run it will. Believe in yourself and everything will be possible.
