If phone calls or text messages are providing to be a distraction, tell your friends that you are only available at certain times of day and not to expect a response at other times.

Tip 8. Become a Taskmaster

Give yourself a time budget and plan your activities accordingly. Figure out how much free time you have each week before you add any commitments.

Tip 9. Don’t Waste Time Agonizing.

Instead of agonizing and procrastinating, just do it. Wasting an entire evening worrying about something that you’re supposed to be doing is not productive, and can increase your stress.

Tip 10. Determine Your Priorities

You can’t do everything at once. Establish the importance of each item. Then set realistic goals that are attainable.

Tips From College Students

Tips for High School to Prepare for College

1.      Be prepared to do a lot of reading in college.

2.      Learn time management: use a calendar and plan how to use your time. Learn to manage your time while still in high school, keep a calendar of all exams and paper due dates.

3.      One of the biggest transitions between high school and college is development of time management skills- students must learn to balance high school and social life.

4.      Be prepared to discipline yourself, as the temptation to slack could be great. If you miss 4-5 classes in a semester, you may not make it through the semester successfully.

5.      Being sick affects your ability to be a student and remember that community living contributes to the cold/flu season.

6.      Learn to read – summarize and outline reading

7.      Learn to take notes in class.

8.      Learn to study.

9.      Start the college and scholarship search as early as possible.

10.  Take as many science, math, English, and foreign language courses you can: they build a foundation for college.

11.   Participate in volunteer and community service programs. It helps get scholarships!

12.   Take advantage of the advanced classes offered in high school.

13.   Think about what characteristics in a university are of most importance to you ( climate, environment, degrees offered, size, location, etc.) before making a final decision about attending college. Visit them if possible.

Advice from University of Portland Students

1.      “ I think the most important thing to let high school students know is not to overlook anything. When I was in high school I often asked myself, “why do I need to know this?” then if I didn’t think it was pertinent, I wouldn’t bother to study it. But in college, all those seemingly unneeded tools come together in the real life (e.g: finding and intersection of those two lines in algebra is later important in cost/ revenue calculations). In the way of classes learning to read and write well is very important. The focus should be on the format and clarifying ideas in writing, and being able to pick out the important parts of writing (the testable facts). Volunteering and joining clubs are important to get into the college of your choice.”

2.      “I’d advise the students to take as much math as they can high school.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

3) Heart: always do what is right so your heart, your conscience, will feel peaceful. When you do wrong, your conscience will prick you and create regretful sensations within your heart. When you do what you honestly feel, you won’t have any regrets. Your heart is your internal compass- it gives you direction and discernment. Just like a magnetic compass gives directions, even true north, your personal compass, your heart, will point you in the true north, the exact directions and paths you need to trod.

4) soul: Study scripts and other sacred literature daily. In other words, feed your spirit because your spirit needs spiritual food just like your physical body needs temporal food to survive. Pondering, meditating, and reflecting are excellent Soul-sharpening activities. Try writing your thoughts, feelings, aspirations, concerns, and decisions in a dairy or journal. Writing helps you focus and make good decisions.

Get into the habit of daily improving body (physical fitness), your mind, your heart, and your soul.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

Teens should never get too busy living to take time to renew themselves. When teens “sharpen the saw” they are keeping their personal self sharp so that they can better deal with life. It means regularly renewing and strengthening the four key dimensions of life-body, mind, heart, and soul

1)    Body. Eat wholesome foods, fruits, vegetables, legumes. Avoid illegal drugs, smoking, alcohol, tobacco products, tattooing. Exercise regularly and effectively. Get plenty of rest at night. Get to bed early at night and get up early each morning. “Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”

2)    Mind. Think positively. Read. Study. Think. Analyze. Seek to read a good book each month. Then each week. Ask intelligent questions. Observe. Develop your mind through positive “self-talk.”

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do much."

Helen Keller

Reflection:

This post is trying to say that when your with someone, you could do way better. But when you are alone you  do so little because you are working by yourself. Like when you are with people you accomplish a lot because you have people doing all sorts of things and when you are alone your doing everything by yourself.
