Study Skills for SUCCESS (reprinted from Costco Connection, August 2008) Organizational and time management tips SPACE Parents should work with their children to create a study place in the home that is consistent, organized and inviting. A common mistake is to encourage children to do homework in their room. Instead, have them do homework at the dining room table or, even better, a clean desk space outside their room. TIME Set aside a consistent block of time for homework without distractions, after school or after dinner. If your child is hard-pressed to finish homework each night, monitor how much time is spent instant messaging, texting, and on Facebook or MySpace. PLAN Encourage use of a daily planner (Binder Reminder). Have your student set a plan of action before tackling homework each night. ORGANIZE Create a system to track paper flow to and from school. Binders should contain see-through pocket folders and dividers so assignments do not become out sight, out of mind. GET HELP Know when to turn to a professional. If your child's disorganization is becoming a source of family tension and bickering or is affecting his or her grades, consider seeking help from an expert .
