I find that sometimes I do my homework too late at night, when I could be sleeping. I can fix this by doing the majority of my homework when I first get home, and then take a small break and then finish. I realize that staying up late is not good for your brain or your body.
Another way to improve my time management skills is to make a written plan for myself because I find I do way better with a plan for my day or week. I like to stay organized and stick to a schedule, and if I can set myself up like this, I will be better at my time management.
I want to ask questions when I need help
I find when I don’t understand something, I try to figure it out by myself first. This is great, but when that doesn’t work out for me, I realize that I have to ask a teacher. I am often nervous to do this. I can work on this by remembering that asking for help is not a weakness, and if I ask for help more it will make me feel more confident in my understanding.
Another way to fix this is by reminding myself that if I ask questions when I am stuck, I will understand the question or problem way more. Once I have a better grasp on things, I feel much more at ease and my worries and stresses seem to lessen.
I want to work on managing my emotions and worries
I find I can get very overwhelmed at times, which causes me to worry. I can fix this by breathing when I start to feel worried or stressed. I can work on this breathing by doing big, deep breaths to calm myself down. This also helps to let my brain know this is unnecessary to stress this much.
Another way is to look on the bright side of the situation and think less negative and more positive. This can sometimes be difficult to do, but I have to teach myself how to do it because this will help my stress and worries.
