My Project

Coming to high school as a freshman can be challenging for a variety of reasons. It can be made more difficult when students are feeling overwhelmed and disorganized.

Using planners can significantly enhance students' organization, time management, and overall academic success.

Planners help students allocate time effectively by allowing them to schedule their tasks, assignments, extracurricular activities, and social commitments. By seeing their responsibilities laid out in a structured format, students can prioritize tasks and manage their time more efficiently.

Planners provide a space for students to set short-term and long-term goals. Whether it's completing assignments, preparing for exams, or pursuing personal interests, setting goals helps students stay focused and motivated.

With a planner, students can break down larger tasks into smaller, manageable steps. By jotting down homework assignments, project deadlines, and study sessions, students can avoid procrastination and stay on top of their workload. This systematic approach reduces stress and ensures tasks are completed on time.

Writing down important dates, reminders, and deadlines in a planner acts as a memory aid. The act of physically writing information helps reinforce retention and recall. Students are less likely to forget assignments or events when they have them documented in their planner.

Feeling overwhelmed by schoolwork and commitments is common among students. However, having a planner can alleviate some of this anxiety by providing a sense of control and structure. When students can see their responsibilities laid out clearly, they feel more in control of their workload and are less likely to experience feelings of overwhelm.

Ms. Sutmire will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 11.
