Tips & Warnings
Organize your time in increments. If you would like to take it a step further, plan your day-to-day agenda by the hour, carefully scheduling in extracurricular and free time.
Find a system that works with your individual needs. There is no right or wrong system, there is only a system for you.
Plan out and prepare your school bag, wardrobe and breakfast ahead of time. That way, you do not have to make any last-minute decisions that could risk wasting your time.
