In most of the schools around the world, students have been complaining about their homework and the fact that they don’t have any free time outside the school. So it became an interesting question: how do students combine school and life outside the school?
I had interviews with two of my friends and asked them some questions. One of them told me that because of the school and a lot of homework, she often cancels plans with her friends outside the school in her free time. Also, she constantly goes to bed late and sleeps for only four or five hours, because of a big amount of homework. The other one told me that despite the big amount of school work, she somehow always manages to have time for both friends, family, and rest and school and homework. She also gave me some tips for managing time correctly. While doing the homework, she always does hard and long assignments at first and then does easier and shorter tasks. Also, while doing the homework, she turns off her phone, so she won’t be distracted from her main job. Like that, she finishes her homework soon and has time for rest. Setting the time limit for each task is a great idea, too. This technique is called Pomodoro. Before starting doing something, you could set a time limit in which you have to finish each task. Also, you should take a break between doing each task. Without the breaks, you will be too tired and won’t remember anything you learned the next day and will be stressed.
In conclusion, we see that combining school and life outside of school can become easier if we’ll follow some easy tips which I’ve mentioned before. Everyone says that combining school and your free time isn’t easy, but they don’t have a proper time management. With good time management, you will be able to finish your tasks sooner and have a lot of free time for yourself.
