Here is a website with some graphic organizers to help with managing your time. http://www.region15.org/curriculum/WORKHABITS-Portrait.pdf

• Find the graphic organizer entitled “Task and Time Plan”, and use the column that states “Steps to Complete” to help with an assignment that you are struggling with just knowing where to begin.

• There is also a diary graphic organizer (“My Time Diary”) that may help you determine what you are spending most of your time doing.  If you are struggling with time management I suggest taking one day out of your week and filling out this Time Diary to see when the best time may be to just get that work done!

• There are 15 pages of graphic organizers to help you become a better time manager, and to bring up those grades.
