“Until we manage our time, we can manage nothing else” – Peter F. Drucker 

As a student of high school, not to mention a student in the IB program, it is extremely essential that I prioritize my time and have a firm, strict schedule. I have the advantage of coming from a high school, Alpha Secondary School in SD41, which lead to me developing and utilizing my time management skills. High school consists of a tough battle between academics, extracurriculars, social life, and leisure, but this battle can be won by all students if they conquer their procrastination. Some benefits of time management include less time spent on chores/homework, provides more free time, lowers your stress, and helps you focus so you always produce your best work.

Time management is important to me because many students coming into high school have trouble balancing their activities and prioritizing their tasks. They join too many clubs, they get flustered by the amount of work/homework, and they constantly stress over every little endeavour given to them. High school shouldn’t be revolved around stress and worry, it should be revolved around the amazing experience you will have over the next 4 years. And if you develop and hone your understanding of the importance of time management, it will prove to be worthwhile. Even though this isn’t an overnight change, it can be developed by the end of the 1st semester and will flourish to be an excellent asset in high school that will benefit you greatly, providing an exciting, stress-free secondary school experience.
