Christina, to keep your schoolwork organized, try using different notebooks or folders for each subject. You can also use tab dividers in big binders to keep assignments, notes, and graded papers separate. A planner, whether digital or paper, can help you keep track of due dates, exams, and meetings. Make a to-do list of your assignments and prioritize them by what's urgent and important. Set aside time every day for studying and try to stick to a routine. Find a quiet study space without distractions and start with easier tasks to get the ball rolling. If you're having a tough time or need more time for assignments, reach out to your instructors. They can offer help, resources, or tutoring.

Staying focused can be difficult, and you're definitely not the only student who struggles with it. One of the biggest things I've learned while going back to school for my Master's in Occupational Therapy is that trying to force yourself to focus for hours usually doesn't work. Instead, break your assignments into smaller, manageable tasks and focus on completing just one thing at a time. I also recommend using the Pomodoro Method—study for 25–30 minutes, then take a short 5-minute break before starting again. Find a quiet place to study, put your phone away or turn off notifications, and use a planner or digital calendar to keep track of assignments so they don't pile up. If you're still finding it difficult to concentrate, don't be afraid to talk with your teachers, academic advisor, or your school's student support services—they're there to help. Most importantly, don't get discouraged by a few missing assignments. Start with one task, build momentum, and remember that small, consistent progress is much more effective than waiting until everything feels overwhelming.

Thank you for your question. Firstly, you need to find a time management tool to help, e.g. MS Outlook, Phone Calendar, Google Calendar, etc.
Below are my suggestions :
1. Put down the time you need to attend schools
2.. Assign some time every day on projects & assignments. Review the material covered in the class on the day. If you have any question, ask the teacher on next school day. Have 5-10 min short break every 1.5-2 hours
3. Make sure you have enough time to sleep and do some exercise
4. You can allocate some time on weekends for leisure and friends & family gathering
5. Assign more time for revision and start early before assessments
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
May Almighty God bless you!

Sometimes, a person might need extra help in classes. Maybe ask a teacher for extra help if you dont understand something or go find a tutor who can help you. Another thing is, maybe there is a reason you can't focus in class. Maybe you have some things you are thinking about during class that is making it hard to concentrate?

But my main idea that I think you should do is ask the teacher for extra help. I remember when I was in high school and I was absolutely terrible at Geometry that I had to ask friends for help.
