You’re writing your essay late at night, and then you realize that you have a soccer game tomorrow and that you need a good night’s rest. you decide to be tired because you think that your grades are more important to you than a game. The next morning, you wonder what you could do to better balance your schedule. So you decide to steal your sister’s old schedule.
So, you look at your soccer schedule and write it on your new schedule and look for your academics Schedule. But first you should prioritize your education and your well being. Write down your assignments and when they are due. You should also make a section of all the subjects you are struggling in. So, you take your schedule with you the whole week to try it out.
After that, you make a few changes and you look up online to see what would help. You see a website called College Wise, so you check it out You see the first thing that they suggest is ask yourself these questions”,Are you doing things you care about? Are you pursuing an interest that you enjoy?”So you reflect on it and you check another website Out. You see one named Academic Approach and you read, “The First Step Towards Balance Is Time Management.”You asked your teacher for advice on time management, but they already said that you are doing great, but they said that you need to keep updating your schedule and that it’s much better on your phone than on a physical copy. So you put all your plans on your phone. You also put another category of when you should study. For the rest of the year you use it to keep on track of all your school activities.
