This video addresses 4 main strategies:

1. Create a good workspace for yourself, not your bed. Give yourself space to have your device, your materials, and is free as possible from distractions. Save the Netflix for later!

2. Managing time by using visual schedules, checklists, or planners. Prioritize each assignment. Break down each assignment into smaller chunks to make the work manageable. Use a timer to pace yourself as your work.

3. Take breaks. Give yourself some time away from the work. Schedule them in but make sure it's not an all day break. Use that timer.

4. Use your resources! Reach out to your teacher and counselor and friends to help you. Ask questions of your teacher, they want to help.

Create a daily routine which includes getting up, dressed, and eating at scheduled times.

Your Pequannock Planner

This is a great tool where you can write down your assignments, appointments, work schedule, or extra-curricular events.

Google Classroom is a great tool and something all of your teachers are using, but it can be completely overwhelming. There are some built in tools in Google Classroom that can help you see what your assignments are, what's due and when, and what's been graded or is still missing.

Check out this brief video that will show you where to find this too.

Using the Google Calendar function will allow you to see all of your assignments on a Google Calendar. This would be good for those who love the digital calendar on their phones, Chromebooks, or other device.

If you aren't good with digital calendars, use a paper one or your Pequannock planner to write down your due dates.
