But, you can’t give yourself unlimited free time — it’ll be 10:00 pm, and you still haven’t done that report, worked out, or anything.

And you may look back and realize that you’ve consumed a bunch of junk food, junk you would not have eaten if you were following a schedule.

My suggestion would be something like this:

1. As soon as you get home, have a snack and hang loose for about an hour (video games, nap, talking on phone). Controlling this time is where your strongest self-discipline comes in to play. It’s so easy to just keep saying ‘well, i’ll get started in just a few more minutes’.

This sounds weird, but if you’re serious about keeping to a good schedule, do this: Set an alarm clock that you can’t miss. When you turn it off, automaticaly set it again for tomorrow.

2. Get started on homework. If you have a lot, divide it into 2 work sessions, with your workout in between.

3. Shower, then finish your homework.

4. FAMILY TIME is important to have too. By this time, maybe it’s about dinner time and you can have some famly time. TALK and visit with your folks and family. It may not seem important now, but, when you’re older, you’ll never regret it. You will regret it if you don’t. That’s part of what makes you who you are. That’s where you get your most in depth character and values. So, be sure to schedule some time with mom and dad if possible!

I hope this helps a bit
