Tip of the Week

Chaos to order

Many students approach homework in a disorganized, haphazard manner which can make it feel overwhelming and unassailable. This often leads to procrastination, stress, and potentially falling behind. Encourage your child to bring the chaos to order by prioritizing their assignments before diving into their homework. Having them take a few minutes to prioritize will help them approach tasks with more intention and focus. Here’s a simple method you can suggest:

  1. Quick Scan: Briefly look over all the assignments for the day.
  2. Identify Priorities: Determine which tasks are most important or urgent. These might be assignments with due dates, projects that require more time, or subjects they find challenging.
  3. Create a Plan: Jot down a simple plan, outlining the order in which they’ll tackle their assignments. This can be as simple as a numbered list.

By prioritizing their work, your child can better manage their time, reduce stress, and improve their overall productivity. And it only takes a few minutes!
