BALANCING SCHOOL AND HOME
Now that school is back in full swing, you may find yourself wondering where the day went. Homework, projects, sports, and other school related activities take up a great portion of your time. Not to mention, household chores, religious activities, and club meetings fill in the extra space.
The best way to avoid frustration and missed deadlines is plan and set reminders. Whether you use sticky notes or electronic calendar reminders stay ahead by planning your time. Start by noting important dates and times on a calendar. Set the first reminder between 2 - 5 days prior to the due date depending on the necessary preparation. For long term projects, divide the tasks so that adequate time can be allocated without feeling rushed or stressed.
You can be the best you possible when you use available tools. Minimize risk by having a backup plan for power and computer issues. Use flash drives or other portable media to store additional copies of assignments. Have a back up buddy who can share assignment or activity information if an emergency pulls you away.
