If you have children in the school-going age, this message today will definitely help to maximize their capabilities. This article looks at how you can help yourself or your child to benefit from the following 10 time management tips in order to perform better in school.

1. Reduce the amount of time spent on telephone.
Sometimes unexpected calls can lead to long conversations and since you know that time is precious, you should refrain from answering calls when you are doing your work. You should manage your time properly and answer personal calls only when you are having your breaks.

2. Identify which activities are time-stealers in each day and avoid them.
Think about the activities that you carry out each day. Do you spend a lot of time watching television, surfing internet, chat online or on the phone, play computer games, etc? These activities will take up a lot of time if you add them up and you should make it a point to cut done on them, especially when it is near the examination periods.

3. Goal setting with deadlines.
In order to manage your time well, it is necessary for you to set small, achievable goals with deadlines. This is so that you can follow through and achieve the goals within the time frame allotted. However, you must be realistic and know what you are capable of achieving. If you set your goals too high, you will only end up demoralizing yourself and nothing will get done.

4. Write a to-do list each night and look through it every morning.
You have to prioritize your tasks. You need to clear up the most important task first before going on to the less urgent ones. This will help you to keep on task and prevent you from accumulating everything to the eleventh hour and stressing yourself out.

5. Start a routine and stick to the schedule.
In this time management tip, we look at how you can draw up a daily schedule. Plan out what subjects must be revised each day and how much time you should allocate to each subject. For example, you need to spend more time on your weaker subjects but at the same time not forgetting the stronger ones. Draw up a daily schedule on what needs to be done each day after school or for the whole day on weekends.

Let the rest of the family members know about your schedule so that they will not interrupt you when you are revising your work and they will also help to keep you on task. It is important to set short breaks (approximately 10 minutes) between each 45 minutes to 1 hour’s study period.
