FOR PARENTS: Does your intelligent, amazing child soak up much of your family time trying to find things at the last second, making everyone late? Do they scramble with working on projects at the last second? Are they not working up to their potential because something always seems to get in the way of a task? Teens face different challenges from kids--not only with their space but keeping track of homework, schedule, and often clothes. Wouldn't it be nice if they could be more organized? Not only that, but different teens have different strengths--and these can affect what methods work for them and what methods don't. 

TIME: At first students will learn how to take control of their time by making it visual and concrete. During the semester they will gradually learn how to judge how long a task takes to complete. Then they will try out a series of time management and tracking techniques to see what works best for them.  They will learn how to avoid procrastination by building reinforcing habits into their lives.  They will also learn how to systematically take stock of their lives, various interests, and responsibilities through bullet journaling.  

SPACE: Finally, they will learn principles of organization that will help them tame their own room and space on an ongoing basis so that they can easily find what they need when they need it and be ready for class, for outings, and for fun.

THINGS: By the end of class, students will enjoy listing not only chores and responsibilities, but also goals and dreams and other fun challenges they wish to tackle in life, so they can focus on experiences that will build life time memories and perhaps not so much on material objects. Because the best things in life aren't things.  

STRENGTHS: Once we sort out what strengths your teen has, throughout the semester we'll learn to hone these strengths and build upon them so that what works well is maximalized.  Students may take various quizzes through the semester to assess how they see the world and how they can leverage their natural disposition to take them to the next level.

The price for this course is cheap. Not only will it help your teen feel and become more successful as a student and person in life--you will be saving your own time and energy in the long run to do all the other things that you need to do.
