Final Summary of Time Management in High School
Here’s the final summary of time management for high schoolers.
A well-ordered, productive, successful, and fun life doesn’t just happen by accident.
Starting in high school, you need to sit down and deliberately prepare a personal approach to the different demands on your time, without going crazy.
Our ability to manage time and organize our efforts around a few central goals is what makes the difference between success and failure.
I know that you can identify your central goals and work towards them with all your strength and speed.
Then, you will know the meaning of “feeling fulfilled,” and will find the majority of your time management problems disappearing.
The strength of your convictions will burn them away as you walk your true path in life.
