September 2017 Messenger: Take Control of Your Time

School is back in full swing at my house. We’ve had classes for three weeks now, so we’re starting to adjust to the routine. My kids have had to learn that while we give them time to relax after school, there’s still homework to be completed, practices to go to, and chores to be done. Essentially, my husband and I are trying to teach them time management. My oldest and youngest are doing pretty well at this. My middle child, however, has had to learn the hard way a few times that he can’t wait until the last minute.
Benjamin has just started middle school. He is loving having different teachers, switching classes, and learning to play the baritone. He’s also learning that he must take more responsibility upon himself. He’s already had two assignments that were late because he forgot to do the homework. Every day, I ask him if he has homework. Most of the time, he quickly answers “no” without stopping to think through each class. Yesterday, though, he finished an assignment that isn’t due until Friday! It made this momma proud that he’s learning responsibility and making good choices. Hopefully, our time management coaching is starting to sink in.
Even as adults, managing everything that must be done in a day, week, or month can be challenging. I know if I didn’t make a list of all my tasks and projects, things would slip through the cracks and not get done. I even make lists for the projects at home. (My husband doesn’t always appreciate this list though!)
In September’s Messenger, Dr. Mathis gives five steps to help you take control of your time.
