To effectively divide your time between school and home, it's crucial to establish a well-structured schedule and adhere to it consistently. Safeguard your study hours and craft intelligent to-do lists. Reflect on your usual time management practices in your daily routine. Recognizing your habits, whether they're beneficial or detrimental, along with your preferences, strengths, and weaknesses, can guide you in finding strategies to optimize your time and sustain your motivation. It's also vital to prioritize your tasks, break them down into manageable parts, explore methods to boost productivity, reduce procrastination, keep your motivation high, and establish a consistent study routine.

Thank you for your question. Many students have similar question. Firstly, you may identify a time management tool ,e.g. your phone calendar, MS outlook, etc.
After you have identified a time management tool, below are my suggestions :
1. Put down the time you need to go to school / attend classes
2. Assign some time everyday for revision on what covered in the lessons, work on assignment, projects, etc. Prepare the material for the classes in next school day
3. Ensure you have sufficient time to sleep.
4. Assign some time for exercise and also you can put some time for your leisure, family & friends gathering, etc.
5. Before the exam / assessment, you need to assign more time for revision in advance
Hope this helps! Good Luck!

Fantastic query! The first step to thriving in high school is figuring out and ranking your objectives. Are you aiming for a specific GPA? Or perhaps you're striving for academic achievements or high test scores. Maybe you're more interested in extracurricular activities or sports. And of course, it's important to make time for fun and nurturing friendships. Once you've sorted out your priorities, it's time to create a plan or schedule to manage your time effectively.
I can vouch from my own high school journey that setting aside time daily for studying and homework can significantly boost your grades. If you're involved in sports, you'll know that improvement comes with time and practice, so you'll need to find a balance based on your priorities.
Remember, high school isn't just about getting through the years; it's a golden opportunity to learn. As you move on to higher education, you'll likely have to start paying for it, so make the most of this time. Be curious, absorb knowledge, and don't hesitate to ask questions. The world is your oyster!
