Have you ever: - forgotten homework?- handed work in late? - raced to finish work the night

before?- been unhappy with its quality?- felt stressed because of a lack of time?

Good time management means you will meet deadlines, be more productive, put things off less and be less stressed.

So how can you manage your time better?

of what you need to do. Put it in order of importance and tick it off as you finish

Make a list

Plan your days and create a timetable Think about what else you need to do each day sport, dance, work etc and put those on your timetable first.

Use lots of reminders

such as your student planner, e-diary, wall planner, post-it notes and your phone

Break each task down into smaller steps, keep repeating this process until each step only takes 5 minutes and then do that step

stop making excuses and just start

Make a start
