  • Track your time.

    Keep a log of how much time you spend on each task.    

    Get enough sleep.

    Plan ahead.

    ...and leave time in your plan for the unexpected delay or technical difficulty.

    Eat nutritious food.

    Your brain needs protein, carbohydrates, and fat to function at its best.

    Write down your to-do items at the end of the day, so when morning comes you are already set to start your first task.

    Take purposeful movement breaks.

    Fold a load laundry, shoot hoops for fifteen minutes, practice your musical instrument, or make a cup of tea and then start back into your schoolwork.  Physical movement that uses both sides of the body to accomplish something worthwhile is refreshing to the brain.
