YOU’RE HOME.

NOW WHAT?

There has been very little time to adjust your life from one that’s completely scheduled out for you to one that’s totally freeform. We are entering a time where it is critical that you learn to organize your time, take care of yourself, and be there for those in your life that need you. This is a lot to ask, but this video should help you get started.

WHAT SHOULD YOUR

DAY LOOK LIKE?

Here are some suggestions to consider when planning your days:

School Work

Check Google Classroom, work on assignments, email teachers, etc.

Create a system to keep organized.

Whether you are remote learning or receiving enrichment, your BRAIN is important and the continuation of your education is important.

Schedule time in chunks. Ten minutes here, then one random hour, and then checking your email while watching Netflix will leave you with a whole lot of things started and unfinished.

Time management and self-advocacy are post-high school skills you are getting first hand practice with now. Ask for help when you need it and manage the hours that you have.

WHAT SHOULD YOUR

DAY LOOK LIKE?

Here are some suggestions to consider when planning your days:

This is an extraordinarily stressful time for everyone. You need to try to do normal, healthy things for yourself.
Set a bedtime and a wake time for yourself.
Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
Get fresh air when the weather permits.
Do fun things for your brain like coloring, playing music, or another creative activity that you love to destress you.
Plan time to exercise everyday. YouTube has great free workouts from yoga to HIIT. Set timers so that you make yourself get up from your computer to stretch or take a walk.
Keep up normal routines like getting ready in the morning. The first few days are fun in PJs and messy hair all day, but after three weeks, you’re going to start feeling the lethargy creep in.

Your Health

Your bedtime/wake time, meals, exercise, going outside, mental health breaks, etc.

WHAT SHOULD YOUR

DAY LOOK LIKE?

Here are some suggestions to consider when planning your days:

Things are probably hard on the adults in your family. Have patience with them and offer to help out around the house when you can.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed with duties at home, reach out to your teachers to let them know. We are here to support you and we just want to know how to best help you.
Check in with your friends on their “social-distancing” experience, but also call them to talk about dumb stuff (shows on Netflix, memes, and whatever else you kids talk about these days). Laughter and normal conversation are helpful to de-stress your lives.

Family / Social Contact

Helping your parents, checking in with friends, visiting grandparents, etc.

WHAT SHOULD YOUR

DAY LOOK LIKE?

Here are some suggestions to consider when planning your days:

Every single student has a different set of additional responsibilities on their shoulders, especially at this difficult time.
To help yourself feel more in control of these responsibilities, put them in your schedule so that you’re not constantly interrupted by them.

For example, if you are babysitting a younger sibling a few days a week, figure out when your down time will be. Morning? Evening? During a nap? That’s when to get some eLearning done.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, send an email to your teachers or your counselor. They will LISTEN and help you come up with a plan. You do not need to bear all of this on your shoulders unless you don’t ask for help!

Other Responsibilities

Chores, running errands, etc.
