How can I better manage my time?

I have two essays to write that are due Monday, one for English AP and one for US History AP.

I’m not sure how to split it to write both essays. I’m not a very strong writer (at least not in my opinion, the teachers seem to differ) and so it takes me a couple hours to write just one essay. I suck at writing them. Plus, I tend to procrastinate and get side-tracked. What can I do to manage my time and finish both essays? Thanks.

Ah, that’s tough. I know how you feel (especially when it comes to procrastination!). I can only tell you the method that works with me. Bear in mind, though, that it might not be the best method for you.

Since I spend most of my “work” time on my computer, I make a quick time table on it, and make sure I follow the table. For example, part of my table would say something like:

13:00 – 14:00 French homework.

14:15 – 15:15 English essay.

(Since I spend hours on my computer sometimes, I make sure I rest my eyes every hour for 15 minutes.)

“Rewards” are another method I use. “I won’t break for a snack until I finish this paragraph/first draft/etc.” Or, “I won’t try out that new game I got until all my work is done (Oh, the agony).”

Hope this helps, and good luck on your essays!

Do one thing at a time. Don’t freak out and stop proscratinating. Focus!
