A tool to help you catch up with school work

A tool to help you catch up with school work


Have you ever been so behind in your school work, that once you get home from school you just have no motivation left to start working on the work you need to catch up on? This scenario is quite typical of high school students, especially in the senior years of high school (year 11 and 12).

Recently, I've been struggling to keep on top of my school work due to family reasons and work. Year 11 is hard. There are a lot more things you have to do in class and outside of class compared to in junior years (year 7-10) to ensure that you understand the content. Eventually, my lack of motivation to do my school work led to the work piling up. I found myself faced with work the size as tall as Mount Everest so I talked to the school counsellor about this.

Here's the advice that she gave me:

Break it down.

Apart from this, she gave me a worksheet called "My Ladder to Success" to help me focus on one step at a time. I wanted to share this resource with you because it really helped me to not be as overwhelmed with the amount of work I have to do and actually start doing it.

Here it is. I apologise in advance if the image is a bit blurry. I'm still trying to figure out how to use Blogger.


How to use it

  1. Save the image on your laptop/ computer.
  2. Print this image out.
  3. Write your goal at the top and the date you would like to complete your task by.
  4. Write out small steps you can take to complete the task.
  5. Fill out the rewards column on the left.
  6. Make a start!

I hope that this resource will help some of you that are pretty overwhelmed with school work. It really helped me to stop being overwhelmed with the huge amount of work that I needed to complete and take small steps to work towards completing my assessments!

Building your support system

Building your support system 2020 has been rough. Admit it. The Coronavirus pandemic has had an impact on us all. Some of us grieved for our old lifestyles when we were able to go out whenever we wanted to. Some of us lost our jobs as a result of this pandemic.
