How to manage time?

How to manage time efficiently..?

  • My problem is Time Management. I sleep 6-8 hours a night, spend about 2 hours on food, 30 minutes on shower, 30 minutes on hair/makeup like any typical teenage girl, and about 7-8 hours on homework (5/7 honors classes). All this puts me going to sleep about 12-2 every night. This problem leaves me with no time to do anything, really. I'm supposed to be learning to drive and I'm turning 16 this summer, but I have no time to drive. I can't figure out which sport to do and for now I'm fit but I believe I just stopped growing so I now have to watch what I eat and exercise more. I just quit swimming since I skip it so much and started Zumba (fitness dancing) but don't have time for that. So far, my sports in my life have been: ballet, hip hop, drill team, swimming, figure skating, soccer, and I've quit everything since I felt it was "not right for me." Now I'm good at nothing and I feel it's too late. I hate running and swimming and I'm not flexible. I had to put down a party a couple of weeks ago since I was busy with a project and now I'm fearing I'll never have a social life. It's the end of Spring Break and I'm still working on homework. I think homework is what takes up most of my time, although I usually get distracted by TV, facebook, email, Pokemon ( :P ), and the Harry Potter series meanwhile doing homework. Another big distraction is this Israeli Scouts thing that I do (takes up about 2.5 hours every Sunday) where a couple of friends and I have to plan events (..?) for 4th/5th grade girls and the leader of this group wants us to finish an hour plan by Thursday and I spend quite a bit of time on that.. What I do is plan out my time (only 10 minutes) on paper and mark off what ever I get done with homework and all daily activities. Kinda an agenda. Basically, I need your advice on how to manage my time so that here and there I can make time for an interesting life (And time to exercise[do you have any sport ideas for me? :3 what do you do?] ). I'd be sooo thankful if you answered with reasonable advice. I've been thinking about this problem with dead ends basically for my whole life and want an end to it. I want to be able to have a life and manage homework with decent grades (B+'s to A's). Thanks so much! Shelly.

Hey Shelly, You seem to be a very busy girl! Take into account that you only have 24 hours in one day like the rest of us. You want to get the most value done in those 24 hours and in order to do that you have to know what your goals are. If your actions aren't aligned with your goals, then you're wasting time. Cut it and replace it with something that does help you achieve your goals.
