How can I do all the school, homework, revision, as well as extra curricular stuff needed to stand out, whilst living or at the very least, surviving?

You will need to make sure that you prioritize the most important things to you. Once you prioritize you might try and sort through them to determine what you really need and what you are wanting. There is only so many hours in the day so we should devote a good portion of those to meeting the most basic human needs. Good health through, diet and exercise. Good sleep hygiene and of course time for emotionally connecting with others.

Make or get yourself a planner (pen and paper is easier than a cell phone, in my opinion) and block out your available time. Make sure that at least once a day you allow yourself time for you; it is just as important to recharge as it is to complete all of your work. If you still find that you are struggling, speak to a teacher that you trust t see what your school can do to help you out. Good luck!

It's all about time management and doing things one at a time. Balance the time spent on each activity, schedules can help extensively and improve efficiency. It is also super important to take some time out in between each to unwind and reflect on the day

In high school I was in band and dance. I put in at least 10 hours of work to band, another 5 to dance, plus the 8 hours I spent in school, and roughly 15 hours of homework time each week. It isn't easy, but it's possible. Time management can be your best friend. I spent an hour after school in dance, 2 hours after that for band, then another 2 hours for homework and any revisions I needed to do. I still made it into bed by 9 or 9:30 and got enough sleep for school the next day.

You have to find a way to schedule your time that works for you. I have found that I can sometimes multi-task when it comes to keeping up with homework and such. For example, I load electronic copies of my textbooks and readings on my phone. Then when I have to stand in line somewhere I read. I also set a to-do list for each day. It is possible to feel overwhelmed even by that - in which case I make a to-do list for the morning, then another for the afternoon and evening.

Great question! Its really hard to fit everything in, and often you won't have time for everything you might like to do. The important thing is to do all the things you have to do. First off, you already stand out. You are YOU, nobody else is, so you are UNIQUE. Congratulations! If somebody doesn't like you, that's their problem, not yours. You should not waste your lfe worrying about what they think! Secondly you have to realise you are human with limits. You need to eat properly and sleep (ideally between 7 or 8 hours a day). The rest of the time is yours to do with as you want, or need!. I made some lists - things that I felt I had to do. Then I thought a bit more. I then put them into four columns. Things I MUST do, things I SHOULD do, things I COULD do if I had time, and then things i WOULD NOT do until I had done everyrhing on the other three lists. I then prepared a table - 7 columns wide, and 48 lines long. This was my week, with days along the top, and each line was a half hour period of time. Once I put in my sleep times and meal times, I then filled in the rest of the lines. There is a great temptation to fill ALL the lines with something - but you need what I call "personal system downtime". Time off. Try following it for one week and see how you get on. It helps you to focus on what is essential and what is "nice to have" if you have the time. And it helps you manage the time. On top of this, you can also use travel time for study - flashcards, or a I use a small pocket notebook which comes out everytime Im waiting for a bus, tram, train etc. In it Ive got things I need to revise (like evening studies work, poems I'm learning, or little puzzles Ive found to keep the mind active. Finally, dont make the mistake of cutting down on valuable sleep - you need it to make your non-sleeping hours effective.

Here's some advice for parental and children: Find a location in the house where homework will be done. The right location will depend on your child and the culture of your family. Some children do best at a desk in their bedroom. It is a quiet location, away from the hubbub of family noise. Other children become too distracted by the things they keep in their bedroom and do better at a place removed from those distractions, like the dining room table. Some children need to work by themselves. Others need to have parents nearby to help keep them on task and to answer questions when problems arise. Ask your child where the best place is to work. Both you and your child need to discuss pros and cons of different settings to arrive at a mutually agreed upon location.Besides,Your child should get in the habit of doing homework at the same time every day. In addition,establish a daily homework schedule.Hope my advice help a little :)

Make a timetable and be realistic while doing it. Make a list of everything you want to get done throughout the week and make a schedule. Don't forget to leave space for other events that might pop up. Also, be sure to include breaks and free time. This method should help you stay organised and allow you to have fun at the same time :)
