In reply to Lynn. The timer is awesome, and I love your idea about picking out a personalized timer. Kids love those!

The timer is a great one. Perhaps go on Amazon and let the child pick out their own personalized timer, a cat, dog, chicken timer!

Love the timer concept, great for us adults too!

Thanks, Sara!

Great read! Scheduling the day in homeschooling is most important and difficult thing. When there are no strict rules, it becomes very difficult to utilize the time in a productive manner. I liked your point of saying Decide When Each Task Should Be Done, I often fail at this part. Thanks for this amazing article!

In reply to Jen. Thanks, Jen. Time management is something we don't always think about as adults. There have been many times I've been startled by what my kids were doing and realized they had no idea how to manage their time. Time management is definitely an important life skill to learn! :-)

In reply to Tahara. Time management really is a learned skill, and one we keep developing over the years. I know I'm still learning new tips and tricks constantly. But it really is much easier to learn at least the basics as children. College and adult life becomes much more manageable. :-)

Hi, I think this is a wonderful post. I have a daughter who manages time quite well on her own, and a son who doesn’t know how to manage his time at all. I definitely think I’m going to sit down with them and use your suggestions to teach them how to manage their time. It’s actually something that never even crossed my mind and I love teaching life skills I think they’re so important.

Thank you for this post!…I have to admit that I am naturally this way…I was never taught time management, and grew up in a situation where it was never required…It is very difficult for me to get a lot of things done, and I am aware that I accomplish much less than I am capable of due to poor time management skills…I have come a long way over the years, but still have a long way to go…I do realize from my personal experience how important it is to teach this to our children…It is much more difficult to learn later in life…

In reply to Jennifer | Deliberate Homeschooling. Thanks, Jennifer. You're right kids do need time management skills in almost every stage of childhood and as adults leaving the house. :-)

Great suggestions here! Yes, it’s so important to teach our kids time-management skills. They’ll need it regardless of the stage they’re in!

Thanks for sharing!

In reply to Fran @ Travelgenee. Fran, you're right. Children and adults can always be given better tools and techniques for time management. Thanks for stopping by! :-)
