Then, try these three magic words: Control your time.
There are only 24 hours in a day on Earth. So, no student has more time than another; for this reason,

effective time management can make all the difference in school life.
Many students often struggle with organizing and planning their time between the tasks and assignments

they have to complete on time. The productive use of time will determine how well you do as a student.
Time is one’s major resource, and when used effectively, it helps to focus on tasks, to stay organised, and to

get high marks.
And yet, why don’t you develop the habit of spending time wisely? Here are some tips for you.

Firstly, you can find out where your time goes, for example, think about the time you spend on the Internet
surfing, posting, texting or making personal calls. Then, discard these time-wasters according to the order

of importance and make the appropriate adjustments, like controlling your time by turning off notifications
on your smartphone. Secondly, you can use the most popular time management method known as The

Pomodoro Technique. In this method, you can set a timer for 25 minutes and focus on a single task, at the
end of your session, call it 1 pomodoro. Then, enjoy 5minute break. After 4 pomodoros, you take a break of

about 20 minutes. Finally, you can prepare To-do lists for every day. They are a good way to stay organised.
If you can adjust your time effectively and carry out the things on your to-do list, these habits will be able

to stick with you throughout the future.
Time management will allow you to do things with less effort, so you can get tasks faster. If you want to

be successful in your school and in the future, it is important to know how to control your time. By making
the best use of your time, there is no doubt that you will realize the positive change you’re creating in your

life. You just need to do it!
