Shelbie Bruce's Time-Management Tips

Welcome, all! This week I'm gonna be talking about what we're all going through — an increase in responsibilities as we turn 15. One of the most important responsibilities is learning how to manage our time well. This is something we will be doing the rest of our lives. Getting a head start now could be what turning 15 is all about! Now, before I give y'all my tips, I think our goal in this should be to create a routine that will make it easier for us to get things done quickly.

Tip #1: Time yourself on everything. If you do this long enough it will become a good habit. Limiting the time you have to do things will force you to work more quickly and efficiently. You won't have time to be distracted!

Tip #2: Prioritize your schedule! Do the more difficult and time-consuming things first, leaving the simpler things for when you may be more tired and less motivated. I like to do my chores first, since they usually take more time and effort.

Don't worry if you don't get it right the first time. No one is perfect. It will take practice to get into a good routine! Do you have any time-saving tips? Leave a comment below and tell us!
