Time Management for Kids.

The natural resources - Sunshine, Air, Water and Time have been distributed equally to all. Time comes in quotas of a day- 24 hours exactly – for us all. Each one of us gets exactly the same time every day. Yet some of us seem to fit in so much in that time. In fact, our own efficiencies vary a lot from day to day. Some days, we are the achiever, and on some others, we seem to get nothing except idle away the hours. Have you noticed the almost superhuman surge in your abilities as exams approach? Imagine the kind of results you can get if you can harness the full potential of your every hour.

Time management is important for everyone, and more so for students. Why? One- because this is the time for you to form good habits. You make habits, and habits make your future. But more importantly, you should practice time management simply because you need it. Everyday is like a shopping cart - and it can hold only a limited number of activities. Be it School, Sports, TV, Games, Gossiping or Homework. The key to manage time efficiently is to plan and manage your activities. It is possible to put a lot in a standard shopping cart, only if the items are arranged properly. The same goes for your days, weeks and months too.
The benefits of effectively managing time from a young age are astounding! For the starters, you would perform better, forget less, and feel happier. That’s a lot, isn’t it? Precise planning will help you to ward off the fear of some unknown time-eating monster lurking in the darkness. You would be completely aware of what’s taking your time, and what needs you next. You will be the person in control. As you use your planner more and more, you would realize the absence of unwanted, last moment surprises. You will feel more relaxed and free. And as you enjoy this new found freedom that stems out of proper planning, you will also, unknowingly, eliminate many of your bad habits. A person who follows his planner religiously, can’t afford to procrastinate.
A good friend of mine, who studies in the high school, told me of a revealing terminology. She says that a grade ‘F’ doesn’t stands for Failure, but for Forgot!! Isn’t it time that the future stops forgetting!
