    • You have to be at school anyway, so get as much done as you can here instead of saving it for home.

Develop a Weekly Schedule

  • To find out how you spend your time and where you have time available, fill in the Weekly Schedule:
    • Write in all scheduled activities (sports practice, games, lessons, etc.).
    • Write in anything that’s the same every day (dinner, chores, etc.).
    • Look at the times that are open and then circle the best times for you to do your homework.
