Don’t let panic strike.
5 Steps to Making Secondary School Workload Manageable…
1. Make a list of tasks and due dates for each subject.
Refer to school assessment calendar or term overviews provided for each subject. If unsure, email relevant teachers.
2. Record important dates into a calendar.
Assessments, holidays and other commitments you need to work around.
3. Break each task down into steps as necessary.
What needs to be done first, second, etc?
4. Estimate time needed to complete each step.
5. Prioritise and schedule.
Work backward from the due date.
Allow time for unexpected setbacks.
Schedule when you will complete each step for each task, working around your other weekly commitments.
Consider constructing a schedule for weekly routines to prioritise what is important.
You can do this in a diary, on a list or calendar (if big enough).
