Get Distracted?
Use an Analog Clock for Time Management
- Make sure you understand how to read an analog clock (or watch this video!)
- You will need an analog clock with a glass face and a dry erase marker.
- When you sit down to do your work, shade in the time on the clock that you will need to complete your assignment. As the minute hand moves, you will have a clear visual of how much time has passed and how much time you have left.
Add the "Thinking Time Tracker" Chrome Extension
This is a digital version of the analog clock strategy. Add it here!
Try the "Forest: stay focused, be present" Chrome Extension
