It is nice that you’re good at both sports and studies. But you must strike a balance so that you are not overwhelmed. Take time to understand your goals and interests, and decide accordingly. Here are a few tips for effective management:
- Plan you week/months: Be aware of upcoming school activities and sport activities to help prepare yourself mentally and physically.
- Prepare a timetable: Make a list of tasks to divide time between sports and school work.
- Set priorities: You are best judge, plan for the most important work first and then for the rest. This way you will help yourself finish work according to your priority and then do the rest.
- Avoid procrastination: once you schedule your work, stick to it. When you postpone it, it becomes an overload and you will feel exhausted.
- Time management: Make maximum use of time – for instance u, use free time at school to complete work. Avoid distinctions such as social media, gaming, mobile phones, television, etc.
- Do not forget you goal: when you have to balance sports and academics, you have to remember your purpose and go by your decisions.
- Warming signs: Proper sleep and food are very important. Never ignore any warming signals such as sleeping during class, feeling exhausted etc. these are signs that you are getting overloaded. Make changes accordingly.
- Seek helps: Do not hesitate to approach your parents and school for help when there is need for it.
