Time and organization attention strategies

Create a comprehensive schedule for the week/month/semester (include study time and extracurricular activities

iStudiezPro creates a weekly/hourly schedule and assignment list
Microsoft to Do List with reminders

Allow for “dawdle time” when planning schedule and tasks to be done in order to help avoid schedule overload

Use a brightly colored, single folder to place all homework assignments that are to be turned in; arrange the assignments in the order of the schedule for the day

Place all work into a single folder/binder during the school day, then sort through when arrive home

Put assignment checklist in the plastic holder on the top of the binder

Create a routine

Example:

Print out assignment list from website
Determine the order to complete assignments (e.g. some people do better with completing the short tasks first, while others do better with tackling the long assignment first, sometimes it might be based on the subject)
If stuck in a certain area, put asterisks by it and skip that part to return later (e.g. sometimes it helps to develop a topic sentence after you have started writing some ideas)
Cross each task off the list as it is completed
