Westlake Wellness - Planning for success

TRENDING NOW

June 16, 2023

To achieve in life, you need a plan and a plan that will lead you to success! We plan our day around school or work, then plan for sports, meals and socialising, so it makes sense to have a plan for achieving in school.

Just writing a plan helps your subconscious mind develop strategies to achieve.
There are a range of ways you can go about this:

Write a list at the end of the day of the things you want to achieve the next day
Keep good records of assessment tasks, identify what is required and when
Keep a journal of what you have completed as you go, use your device for reminders and keeping records
Discuss with your teachers any goals you could set yourself (daily, weekly, termly)
Set aside a quiet time each week to go over any incomplete work or areas you are struggling with, this will help you stay up to date
Ask for help with aspects you do not understand and get support early. Discuss your school work with your family and friends
Plan to start work and have a completion date for a draft, this allows for extra time to refine work before it is due to be submitted
Use your time in class effectively
Be prepared, bring your device and support material to class – arrive in time
