I'm not a very good time manager myself, but I thought maybe if I blogged about time managing, I would listen to my own advice.
Prioritize. Do the most important assignments first and worry about the lesser assignments later. Also, do the harder assignments first because if you save them for later, you'll be too tired to do a good job on them. Also, do the assignments that are due first, first. Don't do the assignments that are due next month first, and save the assignments that are due tomorrow for later!
Make an agenda. If you have loads of projects due for a class, you should make an agenda! What I'm talking about is something like this...
January 5th: Have 50% of paper done
January 7th: Have 25% of science project done... etc.
When I make an agenda, I usually forget about it, so make sure you put it somewhere you'll pass everyday, like on your door. This way, when you walk in and out of your room, you'll see it! Also, you might want to make a schedule for the day, like this:
2:30 - Get back from school.
3:00 - Start homework
3:30 - Finish math homework
3:35 - Start science homework
4:20 - Finish science homework
4:25 to 5 - Read book for English class
Don't chat with people online. Some people are able to multi-task, but I'm not one of them. When I chat with people, I find that it takes longer for me to finish my homework, and I get really distracted.
So, how do you manage your time?
