Creating a time table provides structure. It allows you to have a sense of direction in your daily life. Using a time table helps you to focus and keeps track of goals and responsibilities. I've set targets and goals when i creating this table and i will be accountable for them. This will also help me to prioritize
time, so that at the end of the day i would not feel like i have not achieved anything.
Formula for achieving goals:
If this is what i want to achieve, i would put in effort to do it and if this is what i want to do then i will get it.
The three main questions for setting goals:
1. What are my goals ?
- To have a balanced life.
I have difficulty keeping a balanced life because it's hard for me to juggle two distinctive sets of duties. For example: days nearing examination, I'll put fun and relaxation time aside and concentrate entirely on studying. Therefore in my timetable, i balanced my playing and revision time.
- Prioritize my time and responsibilities in life
- God
Going to church on Friday nights, Sunday mornings and doing my daily quiet time is essential if not i'll grow further away from God. Making me feel emptier day by day.
- Family & Friends
Making time for my family and friends is important to me because they are always there for me to share my joy or when i need a shoulder to cry on or a hug to make me feel a whole lot better. They play a significant role in my life.
- Studies
It is necessary to do well in my studies as it determines my future. In my time table, i have added revision time.
- Sleep
As a growing teenager i have to say that sleep is important. With the lack of sleep, falling ill is easy and sleeping in class will be a huge factor because paying attention in class would be difficult. Hence, the latest time i would go to bed on a week day would be at 12 am.
2. How can i keep myself accountable and follow my daily timetable?
- Do not compromise
- Follow my schedule strictly and do not compromise with my friends when they ask me out. And if i lose track of time and miss certain activities, i will just follow according to the time. I will not make up for it.
- Put away my phone when it's revision time
- Take away luxuries as punishment
- Take away computer time
- Punish myself by not having meals till i finish my task
