Set mini Targets

Start your day or week by setting yourself some mini targets. They don't necessarily have to be detailed or difficult, but you will find it provides you with some focus.

1. What do you want to achieve?
2. Have a wide range of activities/ goals so that you feel that you have used your time as well as possible.
3. Don't see any target as meaningless. Rest, fun, school work, research, music, socialising all have a place in your day! It's just making sure that you balance all these elements and don't spend too long on one area.
4. Reward yourself. Set yourself mini rewards after completing your targets and make your targets progressively more challenging the more comfortable you get!

Create a Routine

You are more likely to meet your goals/ targets if you create a routine! This could take the form of a formal timetable or doing a certain subject/ topic or activity for a certain period of time.

• Do exercise/ mindfulness first thing in the morning.
• Have your meals at the same time of day, everyday.
• Try and create a ;streak', so that you create a habit. i.e. read over your knowledge organisers at midday everyday.
• Review how you are doing and make changes to your routine if necessary.
