School Planner
This HANDY PLANNER is a fillable PDF that you can use to plan your days, making the most of the times you know you are most productive. You can type directly into the slots and tick them off once completed.
We know many of you will have other commitments and responsibilities as well, so include them in your planner and don’t forget to schedule in some breaks for food and exercise. This way you can ensure you have allocated the time required to your studies and maintaining a schedule while you are distance learning. This is a great opportunity for you to take some control over your learning and demonstrate the key competency of managing self.
Having a routine is vital at a time like this, so use the planner either in a digital format or print it off and write on it. Make sure you keep it visible while you are doing your school work.
