Are you one of those people who can’t manage his time?

If the answer is yes this article is for you. Seguro que mucha gente tiene problemas para
organizar su día y hora de las tareas y al final del día te sientes fatal por no haber hecho
casi nada.

One of the most useful things I have learned is how to manage my time effectively. I was
taught this by my mother who is very organized. She taught me that time management is
one of the most important skills you can have in life. And it is so useful to me because it
allows me to get the most out of each day. And in this way I have found many free time in
my day to day to be able to study English and do homework quietly. Thanks to this time
management I am preparing for the Cambridge b2.

If I were you, I would buy a notebook where I would write down all the work I have every day
and I would organize my day. Why don’t you try it?
