NATHAN REYNOLDS attends Reynoldsburg High School. His advice:
Do your school work in school, when you have free time. It greatly helps
at home when you have a lot of other work to do. If you can't do it in
school, divvy up your work and time so that you have a schedule that
reads like, 8-8:30 Math, and so on. It makes you feel the need to get the
work done within your time limit, and makes for free time in your day.
KRYSTIE SEESE is a graduate student at Post University. Her advice:
I have found that I work best when I use a planner to track the assignments
I’ve completed and denote the assignments I still owe. This process has yet to
fail me. At the beginning of each week I plan what I will complete each day
specifically. This helps alleviate the overwhelming feeling of seeing 10-12
assignments that need to be done. As I complete them, I check them off. Simple
as that! In addition, this system has helped me ensure that all work due each
week is completed on time.
On that same note, it is best to plan to complete assignments when you know
you have time. For example, I set aside every Sunday for my school work. I get
as much done as I can on Sundays, and spread out completing unfinished
assignments throughout the remainder of the week. This takes the stress off of
coming home from a long day at work and still having a ton of schoolwork to
do. I’ve found the key to success in an online program is to plan ahead and
have the discipline to follow through.

that of my peers. Nevertheless, I would argue time management skills are even
more imperative for homeschooling students than traditional students. As a
homeschooler, I am tasked daily to write my own schedule, stick to deadlines,
and balance my schoolwork with extracurricular activities, without the
watchful eye of a teacher.
One thing I learned early on is that scheduling is so important. Having a
schedule is the easiest way to know what you have going on and what needs to
be completed. I use Microsoft Excel to write out my schedule, where I include
information like my extracurricular activities, job, and current course work.
My parents taught me my education is very important and comes first, so I
prioritize my academics. To ensure I keep my grades up, I identify which
projects need to be completed first and foremost. If I’m struggling in a
