Day+3-+Organization+of+Time

__Topic:__ Time...the most important commodity!

__Objective:__ Reinforce metacognition and ask them to start thinking about how they think about and manage time. Instruction on making a "to-do" list and how to use it to prioritize tasks. Discuss how time management is linked to self-discipline. Present strategies for how students can act and react when they believe they are not using their time well or efficiently.

__Time:__ 1 hour

__Materials:__ Planner that student will use for the coming year.

__Homework:__ Write two paragraphs. One should focus on a situation in which you used time well and effectively. You should include observations as to why you believe you used time well. The second paragraph should be about a time when you did not use time effectively and what you believe you could have done to be more time-effective. This can be related to either an academic or a nonacademic situation.
