Study Skills

This week's study skills focus on the importance of time management. As the end of the school year approaches and we have finals and tests, we need to find a way to manage our time in a more productive way.

Time is the most valuable resource a student has. It is also one of the most wasted resources. The schedule we develop should guide us in how to manage the available time in the most productive way. Our schedules should be a map of our day and how many hours we have for free time. From the free time on our schedules, we need to set aside time for studying. Sticking to our schedules can be tough. Do not dribble away valuable time. Avoiding study is the easiest thing in the world. It is up to us to follow the schedule we prepared. A good deal of our success in high school or college depends on how well we manage our time.
