Time Management: Time to Get Organized!
Time management means making the best use of your time.
You organize your work to get as much done as possible.
If you don't manage your time well, you might not finish everything.
It's also likely that you won't do a great job on the tasks you do finish.
What's more, you'll feel stressed and think that your life is out of control.
On the other hand, if you manage your time well, you'll be able to fit in some downtime as well.
You'll also feel better because you accomplished many things.
Here are some tips(good subjection or advices):
1. Prioritize Well (which job or task is emergent)
Decide which tasks are the most important.
Make sure you schedule(v. arrange or plan) enough time to finish them.
It's often a good idea to do these tasks first.
For example, if some homework is due on Tuesday, you must do it by Monday at the latest!
On the other hand, cleaning your room can wait.
Put it off until after your homework is done, or maybe later in the week.

2. Set Time Limits
Work out how long each task will take.
If you're not sure, set aside a specific amount of time to work on that task.
You can take breaks, but set time limits for breaks, too!
One good way to do this is to use the Pomodoro Technique.
Work for 25 minutes, and then take a five-minute break.
After you do this four times, take a longer break.
3. Make a Plan
Plan your week in advance so you know what you should be doing each day.
Having a plan also means you can be flexible.
If something takes longer than you expected, your plan will help you find time to finish it.
Your plan also helps you balance homework with other jobs to keep your mind fresh.
4. Omit Non-essential Activities
Take any unnecessary activities out of your plan.
Spend your time on necessary jobs instead.
You can always add these other activities back in if you finish things ahead of schedule.
Learn these skills and you'll manage your time more effectively!
