Does it seem like there's never enough time in the day to get everything done? Feel like you're always running late? Here are some tips for taking control of your time and organizing your life. 1. Make a "To Do" List Every Day Put things that are most important at the top and do them first. If it's easier, use a planner to track all of your tasks. And don't forget to reward yourself for your accomplishments. 2. Use Spare Minutes Wisely Get some reading done on the bus ride home from school, for example. 3. It's Okay to Say "No" If your friend asks you to hang out on a Thursday night and you have a final exam the next morning, realize that it's okay to say no.
