Time management is an important skill for our children to learn beginning early in life, but today I’m going to give 15 Tips for Time Management for High Schoolers. These will be listed in the Notes. They are a free downloadable from Your Therapy Source, which has all kinds of resources—some free, some that have a cost . I’ll put their contact info in the Notes.

1. Prioritize Tasks: Identify and focus on completing the most important tasks first, such as schoolwork and essential projects, to ensure academic success.

2. Set SMART Goals: Establish Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound goals for both short-term tasks and long-term achievements.

3. Create a Daily Schedule: Use a digital calendar to organize your daily routine, allocating specific times for school work, extracurricular activities, and free time.

4. Avoid Procrastination: Tackle assignments early instead of waiting until the last minute, using constant reminders and deadlines to stay on track.

5. Limit Social Media and Video Games: Allocate a specific amount of time for leisure activities to ensure they don’t interfere with more important tasks.

6. Use Time Management Techniques: Break larger tasks into smaller, more manageable parts, and set aside dedicated study times for each.

7. Form Study Groups: Collaborate with peers for group study sessions, which can be an effective way to prepare for big tests and complete large projects.

8. Take Short Breaks: Incorporate short breaks during study time to refresh and maintain high levels of concentration and critical thinking.

9. Monitor Free Time: Be mindful of how much time is spent on non-essential activities to ensure there’s enough time for important academic and personal goals.

10. Adopt Good Organizational Skills: Keep track of important dates, deadlines, and extracurricular activities with a digital calendar or planner for better organizational skills.

11. Balance Academic and Social Life: Strive for a healthy work-life balance by managing time effectively between social events, extracurricular activities, and academic responsibilities.

12. Get Enough Sleep: Ensure you’re getting the recommended hours of sleep each night to maintain alertness and reduce stress levels during the school day.

13. Seek Support: Don’t hesitate to ask for help from family members, teachers, or school counselors when feeling overwhelmed by tasks or deadlines.

14. Stay Physically Active: Incorporate physical activity into your daily routine to boost mental health and improve focus for academic tasks.

15. Prepare for the Next Day: Plan your outfit, pack your school bag, and set out any necessary items the night before to save time and reduce stress in the morning.
