Hi Joel. You need to create a weekly schedule that includes everything you must do, including class times, practices, workouts, meetings, and games. Once these are written down, look at the open spaces in your schedule and plan when you'll study, rest, or handle personal tasks.
When you study, you should use active methods instead of just rereading your notes or textbook. For example, you can make flashcards, quiz yourself, rewrite key ideas, or explain the topic out loud as if you're teaching someone else. These techniques help you remember information better, especially when you don't have a lot of time.
Staying organized is very important. You can use a planner or a digital calendar to write down due dates, test days, practice times, and travel plans. Meanwhile, color-coding school and sports tasks can help you see what your week looks like at a glance.
You should also check your class syllabi every week so you know what's coming up and can prepare before busy times like midterms or tournaments.
