Making A Weekly Plan To Help Us Succeed
Overview
Making a weekly plan by the day and hour can help to lessen stress by being able to arrange the hours necessary for success.
This is for all my math classes. The need to organize is summed up well in the aphorism "Organize or agonize". This is part of the fulfillment of my share of Renton Technical College's OSPI grant.
Making A Weekly Plan To Help Us Succeed
Making a table of days and hours in the day for when we will do the work for each class is a very useful thing to do. Here’s how it’s done.
Using a big piece of paper which you can tape to a wall, create a table like the one below with days of the week in the first column, and the hours of a day in the first row. Then decide on a task for each hour of the day, and for each day of the week. I’ve filled in just the tasks for Monday, but you should think about what you need to do each day of the week. Don’t worry about appointments that need to be scheduled as they are needed. Just get the basic pattern of activities for each day of the week.
By making a table like this you will discover that it takes much of the stress out of your week because you can easily see what needs to be done at any time during the week.
Keep a separate calendar for due dates and appointments. This table is to let you know which task should be done at any time during a day for which you have no other appointments or obligations.
