How to be a Homework Warrior!
Congratulations! If you go to school in Los Angeles, you most likely have started school and were able to make it through the first week. If you have yet to start school then you can spend the next week or so organizing your school supplies to be the Homework Warrior you have always dreamed of being! Remember, organization should make school easier, not harder. So if any of these hacks become overwhelming or distracting, dial it back and keep it simple!
Here is what worked for me:
- Color Coding- find what works for you so highlight text by urgency, subject, or importance
- Set alarms on your phone for due dates and assignments
- Make lists- the running dialogue in your head dedicated to task completion can be curbed by lists
- Take pictures of the board, notes, or anything else you need to remember
- Set aside time after school to do homework and prepare for the next day
As always, if you or a loved one feels they need professional support, CONTACT ME!
Finding Community and Belonging: Insights from "How We Show Up" by Mia Birdsong
Throughout the week ,I have been blessed to continue seeing clients through telehealth and supporting them through this difficult time. Most speak of the difficulty of finding a new normal while struggling with the lack of control in this situation. Some struggle with an increased sense of loneliness and isolation due to social distancing and the need to self quarantine. Some continue to work from home but struggle to find their rhythm when most people's routines have been so drastically changed. I personally have been feeling the need to spend more time outside and sometimes even make my normal commute but not go into my office! Whatever it takes to feel peace and ease the stress seems to be the name of the game! Hopefully the tips listed above can help!
