How to Get Good Grades - Step 3 - Manage Your Time Well!
By Joseph Park
With good time management, you have time for the things you have to do, and you still have time for the things you want to do.
Use Class Time and Study Halls
Always use the time teachers give you in class to start on your homework, to ask questions, or to get help. "If I use my study hall and the time that teachers give us in class, I don't have nearly as much homework to do at night." Jermaine.
Create Your Own Study Plan
Some students study best at night; others study best earlier in the day. Many students also have activities, sports, and jobs that they need to work around.
At the end of each school day, determine how much time you have available, look at how much homework you have, and then develop a plan. To help keep yourself organized and on track, have a study plan in mind before you get home from school each day.
For example,
3:00 - 4:30 Band practice
4:30 - 5:00 Break
5:00 - 6:30 Do math homework
5:30 - 6:00 Break
7:00 - 8:00 Study for history quiz & do science review questions
Prepare for Sabotage
Identify anything that could interrupt or ruin your study plan, and then figure out how to eliminate or avoid it.
"I used to get interrupted by phone calls. Now my friends don't call until 9:00, and I make sure my homework's done by then." Kathy
"I can't watch TV until I have all of my homework done. If I do, my homework probably won't get done." John
