The document discusses whether students should manage their time for studying. It argues that managing time is important because there are a limited number of hours in a day. It provides strategies for effective time management, including creating a term calendar, weekly schedule, and daily organizer. The term calendar should include all assignments, tests, school activities, and personal commitments. The weekly schedule should include classes, tasks from the term calendar, notes from the previous week, and extracurricular activities. The daily organizer for the next day should include items from the weekly schedule and unfinished tasks from the previous day. Managing time effectively using these tools will help students make the best use of their limited time.

Why time is the most important? There are only so many hours in a day, a week, and a
term. We cannot change the number of hours, but we can decide how to best use them. To be
successful in class, we must carefully manage our study time. Therefore, I personally believe
that I agree with the writer’s opinions which were published in your editorial column. Here are
many strategies that how should manage time study. Namely, prepare a term calendar,
prepare a weekly schedule, and prepare a daily organizer.
First of all, at the beginning of a term, prepare a term Calendar. Update it as the term
goes on. Hence, here is what to do to prepare a term calendar. Specifically, we must be
recording all assignments with due dates and scheduled tests. For example, what thing else
assignments given we should to prepare as soon as possible. This is because we will remember
it and also we are not lost it. In addition, we do not leave with to record our planned school
activities like extra classes, group discussion and etc. Lastly, we should record our known out-
of-school activities. For instance, jogging in every evening, make some resting with plays foot
ball and etc.
On the contrary, each Sunday before a school week, prepare a weekly schedule.
Update it as the week goes on. Here are some alternative what to do to prepare a weekly
schedule. Firstly, we should record our daily classes like what teacher has teaches us today and
some cases we must to record what important subject which teacher is teaching. Meanwhile,
enter things to be done for the coming week from our term calendar. This is because we have

done successful record in daily term calendar. Next planning, we must to review our class notes
from the previous week to see if we need to add any school activities. But then, add any out-of-
school activities in which you will be involved during the week. Finally, be sure to include times
for completing assignments, working on projects, and studying for tests. These times may be
during the school day, right after school, evenings, and weekends.
Last but not least, each evening before a school day, prepare a daily organizer for the
next day. Place a next to each thing to do as we accomplish it. Therefore, here is alternative
what to do to prepare a daily organizer. Namely, enter the things to do for the coming day from
our weekly schedule. This is because we shall remember that what place we put it. For
example, we put it all things into the bag or one place before we go to the school. On the other
hand, enter the things that still need to be accomplished from our daily organizer from the
previous day. As the result, all activities that we are planning before those can smooth wisely.
In short, we highlighted above as important things. Therefore, steps should be taken to
improve our best time in daily life. Our weekly schedule should have more detail than our term
calendar. Our daily organizer should have more detail than our weekly schedule. Using a term
calendar, a weekly schedule, and a daily organizer will help us make the best use of your time.
Once again, I am in a favour of this statement, which I fully support. (560
