Homework - "I do not have time for this!"

As a teacher, I heard an apology from a few students every morning, why not do their duty. Most of them had to do with extracurricular commitments: "I could not in my
last night, because I had. a homework baseball game "Or:" I was playing basketball with my brother to go with her. "" Some of the apologies were due to family commitments, we had my grandmother
Birthday last night. "The best excuse I've ever heard ..." I could not do myHomework, because I had to go with my mother to do her nails. "

Many teachers agree that the number of classes students reason for lack of homework. Creating excuses for homework lowers your qualities and promotes a bad habit for your future.

The only reason to go to school to learn and prepare for the future, if you can work one day, a house, or both, you must take the responsibility. One of the main reasons
Teachers giveHomework to help you practice your skills responsibilities. It will not be long in a job if your boss tell you "Sorry, I could not do this report, I had to play football last night .." It will not keep a roof over your head long with excuses like "I'm sorry I could not pay the bills ... last week I was busy, did her nails."

Rest, relaxation and fun are important elements in life, but should be a balance between fun and responsibility! You must know yourPriority. If you take care of your most important
Top priority, you will automatically receive the time for "fun stuff!"

Many adults do not learn to manage their priorities and have a good difficulty balance in their lives. If you learn to manage the priority now, you have a huge advantage if
You are an adult. Not to mention the fact that you improve your quality on the way!

* Action Plan *

There are several things youTime to better manage and avoid the evening activities in order to do your job with the fun-Balance:

- Communicate with your family. Sunday, ask your parents if they have something planned for you for a week. This is the time to learn about dentist appointments, birthday dinner, your brother's baseball games, etc. It 's always better to know these things ahead of time, as in the last minute.

- Plan ahead. If you have a big order due on Thursday andThey have a basketball game on Wednesday night, be sure to do the task on Tuesday night.

- Keep all your homework in one place. Do not hide your math homework in a textbook, the tasks of science in a notebook and your work in English book bag or spend a lot of time
just looking for homework. Keep to save all the documents in a folder on your search time and complete their homework faster.

- Make use of time "down". Spend much time each dayWait ... Waiting to take teachers to calm presence for other students to come to the bus, or for appointments. Face
Your job at this time. Maybe you can get three math problems done while the teacher takes presence. Maybe you can do your home work on the science bus. A few minutes
Here and there can quickly result in up to 1 or 1.5 hours of free time in the evening.

- Use a timer. If you are struggling to stay focused when you do yourHomework, challenge yourself like Nike and "Just do it!" Set a timer for the time you think you need as a result
Allocation and the request for time to beat. It is possible, how much time you have finished their homework, be surprised if you concentrated.
