Why does my child procrastinate? Why are they so disorganized? Why don’t they get homework done or turn it in when they do it? I’m tired of arguing with them. Help!
What may really be going on is that your child has poor time management. Time management is essential for students’ success, but many struggle to master it.
Hiring an Academic/ Life coach that is in Savannah can provide personalized guidance and strategies. Academic/ Life coaches offer practical tools and motivation to help students improve.
Coaches help students achieve personal and academic goals by focusing on time management, confidence building, and balance.
The coach guides them through customized solutions to help the student overcome challenges and build sustainable habits.
Coaches evaluate students’ current habits, identifying strengths and areas for improvement. This fosters self-awareness - key to effective time management. Once students understand their tendencies and recognize unproductive behaviors, they can make informed changes to prioritize tasks, set realistic goals, and allocate their time more efficiently.
Coaches tailor time management methods to fit students’ unique schedules and goals, such as using time-blocking or digital planners.
Coaches ensure follow-through with regular check-ins, helping students build consistency.
Coaches teach prioritization, goal setting, and distraction management to enhance focus and efficiency.
By celebrating progress, coaches boost students’ confidence and keep them motivated.
Coaches address procrastination by breaking tasks into smaller steps and setting clear deadlines.
One example is they might encourage a student to use the "two-minute rule," where the student starts tasks that take less than two minutes immediately. This simple strategy helps overcome the initial barrier to starting work, creating momentum and building a sense of accomplishment.
Another example is introducing the student to the POMODORO method of getting things done. The student works in blocks of 20-25 minutes then takes a five minute break. This routine continues for up to four times, then the student breaks for 20 minutes. They repeat the process until the task is complete.
