Time Management Equals Success

Yes, you’re supposed to enjoy being a teen.  Yet, we waste so much of our lives. So, why not make sure every moment counts?
Poor time management, generally in the form of procrastination, adds a level of stress to your mind that doesn’t allow you to fully enjoy your down time.  You’ll come up with a million things to do instead of the greatest tasks at hand, even cleaning your closet! (OK, maybe not that.)
Time is valuable.  Until you realize that, Facebook and other mundane tasks will start to kill you, or, at the very least, keep you from getting into the school of your choice. Everything seems more important than the ‘worst math homework ever’ or that looming test on the novel you haven’t read. So much stress that it makes you hate seeing your book bag in the corner. 


Just get it done! Learn to prioritize with the realization that everything can’t be done in a day.  Yet, challenge yourself to go above and beyond expectations. You’ll be much more relaxed overall and have more time for fun stuff.
Schedules become habits. Don’t you hate it when you wake up by early on Saturday?  There’s no doubt that our body’s internal clock prefers to be in control.  But, taking care of you is also very important.


Healthy minds and bodies work and play better.  Regular sleep times and planned study periods are beneficial. Routines, even if strayed from on weekends, nurture an environment of giving value to your time.
Another over-riding theme on this topic is the ability to be self-aware.  We all have limits.  Doing too much can be a huge barrier to successful time management.  Learn how and when to say ‘No’ to everything from excessive hang out sessions with friends to participating in too many activities.  Focus will allow you to reach your goals, including getting into your top choice of college or university.
Back to Facebook already?  No one said this balancing-act would be easy.
