Time Management

Maintaining a healthy balance between school work, activities and free time is important. The College offers a wide range of activities, service, and sports for students to participate in, and it is very easy to get overwhelmed. Managing your time effectively using some the techniques below may help you to reduce procrastination and stress, allowing you to feel in control of your time.

Block Distracting Websites

Websites like Netflix, Instagram, Snapchat can be distracting. By using lockdown apps, Chrome extensions, or directly using you Macbook's terminal, you can disable these websites for a period of time.

Remember that teachers sometimes use Youtube videos as course material and there are lots of high-quality educational content on the site

Block websites which can be harmful or distracting

find out which apps you can use

Set time sensitive goals for revision or assignments and dedicate a particular amount of time each day to work on this

use apps like Google Calendar to block out sections of your day
If you haven't done so, we highly recommend adding the your grade level assessment calendar to your personal Google Calendar. Most teachers add upcoming tests or coursework due dates on the calendar:

Also, planning events ahead of time also helps you to not forget about important events that are happening in the future.

Effective time management is integral for balancing the demands of academics, activities, and social life. The College has guidelines for the amount of time which should be spent on each subject, including homework and studying, which should, in theory, average around 1-2 hours per subject per week. Double syllabi subjects (such as English or Coordinated Science) or subjects with lots of coursework may require more time. Of course, this may vary depending on the day of week and the time of the year.
