【推荐1】Have you always been late to school? Have you always missed a deadline? Have you always failed to get your homework done in time?     1    , there are several ways to handle them. Here are six time management tips for you.

●Create a schedule

Effective time management for teenagers begins and ends with good scheduling. At the beginning of each week, create a schedule that maps out all your major projects and the available time.     2    .

●Set small goals.

    3    , you tend to put it off because you don’t really know where to start and feel overwhelmed. To get started easily, write the big task at the top of a list. And then break it down into smaller tasks. Turn these smaller tasks into a checklist that you can follow.

●Make the most of every second.

While you’re travelling to school or waiting for a friend to turn up, you probably find yourself checking or posting on social media.     4    . By getting some reading done during your unexpected free time, you’ll end up saving a lot of time.

●Identify your productive time.

Whether you’re an early bird or a night owl, identify the time when you are most productive and use that time to get through your to-do list.

●Wear a watch.

It might sound simple, but wearing a watch does in fact help you keep an eye on time.

●    5    .

Remember it is said as a rule that 20% of your efforts can produce 80% of your results. So focus on that 20% and try to do the least amount of work in the most efficient way.

【推荐3】Most of us look forward to the weekend as a time to relax. But as the weekend comes to an end, many of us are experiencing a sense of anxiety and even fear. Experts have named this worry the “Sunday scaries.” But even though the Sunday scaries are common, they are manageable.     1    

Identify your anxiety sources.

Anxiety is a normal human experience, and one of the main ways to manage it is to figure out what’s really causing you to fear the week. Is it a deadline, meeting or presentation? Even if there’s not a single reason behind it, organizing the stress from the week ahead can help.     2     One list for tasks that need to be completed immediately, another for tasks that are less urgent, and a final list for tasks that you’d like to complete at some point.     3     This can help reduce the stress and fear of the week.

Create some excitement for the week ahead.

Getting rid of the Sunday scaries isn’t just about reducing fear of the week ahead, either.     4     Instead of focusing on the terrible things from the week, build excitement over a coffee or lunch date with a friend. This gives you the opportunity to shift your thoughts to something fun and will help improve your mood.

    5    

Instead of sitting on the couch and watching the clock, go do something that you enjoy. Such as planning some favorite foods to enjoy while watching football. Do your best to honor this time and make Sunday night all about you—leave the work emails for Monday morning.

【推荐1】Someone may find it difficult to learn history.     1     Of course, you need to study carefully in and out of the classroom. Whether you have a big test coming or you’re looking to improve your studying skills for history courses, there are a few things you can do to prepare.

Organize your notes in time order.     2    . Keeping that order in the notes that you take both in class and while reading will help you organize the information you receive. Always write down the date of events in your notes and try to keep things in order.

Write down important information from your teacher and textbook. As the information is on the blackboard in front of you, you don’t want to take notes.     3    . However, you’ll soon forget the facts and dates if you don’t write them down right away. The same goes on when you’re reading the texts. So, keep a notebook and aim to take at least 1 page of notes per chapter or 30 minutes of lecture.

    4    . Studying history can often feel like you’re memorizing many disconnected dates, names, and places. Avoid this by making the clear connections (联系) in the notes that you take. Then, when you’re preparing for a test, you’ll be able to draw on these connections and historical events.

Ask your teacher about any information you didn’t understand. Sometimes students feel shy to ask their teacher questions, but there’s no reason to feel shy that way. If you’re confused about a point in the lecture or are struggling to remember any dates, names, or places, don’t hesitate to ask your teacher after class.     5    .
