Time management strategies?

Well, I am probably not a particularly good person to answer this question, as I had a similar problem (as did most of my peer group) when I was at school.

However, with hindsight, the teenage time management problem seems not to have disadvantaged me in any significant way whatsoever.

I enjoyed my teen years immensely, largely as a result of putting:

• lethargic relaxation: • ear-splitting music; • rewarding social activities: and • an anarchic reluctance to follow the ludicrous demands of academic slave-drivers;

resolutely at the top of my own, perfectly reasonable, list of personal preferences for having a raucously good time.

Having said that, I now find that a similar set of personal preferences are starting to impede my ability to move efficiently forward with the personal projects that I really want to complete.

So what have I found to be most helpful in minimizing inefficient procrastination?

I guess, the most effective strategy has been to write a daily “To Do List”, in which the things that I perceive to be most important in the long term are put ahead of the things that I find to be most enjoyable in the short term.

I then ensure that I complete, at least some of, the things that are fundamentally important before I indulge myself in any of the other things that I consider to be more agreeable.

I wish you the very best of luck in progressing the important things in life (including school / homework), while continuing to enjoy your formative teenage years in a manner that will ensure you mature into a successful young woman with a well rounded personality.
