Time Management, Procrastination, and Homework

By Katie Wei
Time management is very important when you get higher and higher in your grade levels. The older you get, the harder the work becomes, and the more work you get.  When we were younger, without a care in the world, and frolicking in the grass, we didn't care about homework. We did it when we came home, then went out to play. It was great! Until now.
After school, we all have activities to go to. Dance, soccer, piano, you name it. When you procrastinate after these long, exhausting activities, it all just drags, and then the next thing you know, you're doing all your homework at midnight. This is when time management comes in. Your agenda is like your best friend. You should always write down when you have time to do homework, and when you don't. It is also helpful to write down what obligations you have, like your after school activities. 
I remember one day, I was feeling lazy. So I procrastinated. That was a very stupid thing to do on my part. First, I got in trouble when I told my parents that I had to do all of my homework on sunday night. It was nice during the weekend when I didn't have to do anything at all, but when sunday night came, I regretted everything I had done.
Overall, just be smart with this, and don't do things at the last minute. If you have a long period of time to do a project, be smart and space things out. Unlike what I did.
