Summertime is coming to an end and there are only several days left to make the last preparations before the new school year starts. Getting ready to the new academic year does not only mean selecting new clothes, books and other equipment needed for study. Some psychological and organizational preparations are also useful both for students and their parents. Of course, it would be better to start preparations to school at least a couple weeks in advance but some adjustments in the last days may also help to decrease the tension of the first days at school.
One of the most important aspects is establishing a daily routine. In order to make it easier to get used to the study rhythm a student needs a daily schedule. It is well-known that making the list of tasks for a day helps to cope with numerous house, family and preschool affairs and allows to find free time for hobbies, rest and fun.
A morning plan should include waking up in the same time every day and should provide time for breakfast, morning exercises, packing up things, all other preparations and way to school. However, the main key to the successful start of each day is good overnight preparation. There are some simple arrangements that can help to avoid panic in the morning:
– Choose clothes. It is better to choose and prepare the clothes for tomorrow in the evening. Check the weather forecast to make the right choice and you will have time to clean or repair something if needed. The same is about shoes and accessories.
– Pack a bag. Pack or put into one place everything that you may need tomorrow at school: documents, books, stationeries, sports suit and so on.
– Go to bed in time. Everybody has specific need to the length of sleep. Go to bed when there are enough time to sleep till the wake-up time in the morning.
Arranging a daily schedule disciplines and trains children and their parents to organize their time efficiently. However, do not try to follow some standard plan, the daily schedule should be individual for each person and should take into account personal habits and peculiarities. Only in this case a schedule will make student’s day comfortable and productive.
Well planned and performed everyday actions will turn into habit and will take less and less time releasing minutes or even hours for entertainment, additional study or work depending on personal preferences. Keeping at least soft daily schedule during vacation contributes into general readiness of a student to the challenges of a new study year. It is never late to start arranging your life in an efficient way!
