Time Management

Using your time wisely so you’re not always rushing, stressed, or behind.

Why It Matters

You’ve only got 24 hours in a day. Time management helps you make them count.


It’s about setting priorities, meeting deadlines, and still making space for rest and fun.

How You Know You’ve Got It

  1. You know what needs to be done—and when

  2. You plan ahead instead of cramming last minute

  3. You balance school, activities, and personal time without burning out

How To Level Up

  1. Use a planner, calendar, or app to track assignments

  2. Break big tasks into small chunks and start early

  3. Say no to things that don’t fit your priorities
