REDUCING STRESS AMONG GRADE 10
STUDENTS IN SMHS"
1. Why is this important?
- Time management has many benefits to our professional life and overall work-life
balance. Time management is important because it helps us keep our workday under
control, allowing us to build our business without sacrificing our personal life. Good time
management skills take time to develop and put into practice. But as we learn to
manage time, we will notice the days take less effort to achieve the same results. You
will save time on tasks, maintain better energy and productivity levels, and experience
less stress as you work through your to-do list.
2. Will there be disadvantages to this?
- One of the main disadvantages of using time management is that you must allow part
of your time in making up a plan to follow. If those plans get sidetracked you feel
pressure to get back on the timetable that you have set out to accomplish, thus cutting
into other plans. Also being on a schedule you tend to leave the people around you are
feeling slightly tense because they do not know how much time you have allotted for
them.
3. Why would people benefit from this?
- Time management can be very useful in a student's hectic schedule. It ensures that
students are well prepared, organized, and focused to manage their daily lives and
complete academic assignments on time. It can lead to improved success; however,
this is a skill that students must learn and practice.
4. Why would we need this?
- If you manage your time properly, then it can reduce your stress level and increase
your confidence. With proper time management, you can do all your difficult work very
easily. You can also be more productive with the time you have. And you will be able to
spend some time doing activities that you like.
5. How will this affect them in school?
- Managing time effectively enables students to become more confident, and organized,
and learn more efficiently. Effective time management skills are particularly essential for
high school students, as they must deal with more subjects, tests, assignments, and
extracurriculars.
