Learning to organize tasks by priority based on both their urgency and their importance can be quite challenging for kids. To help your child plan their schedule better and avoid procrastination, try this printable tool, which includes an example illustrating different types of priorities.

A Tool for Staying Organized

The challenges of organizing priorities and practising effective time management can be discouraging for kids and cause them to procrastinate.

In addition to giving your child an overview of their upcoming tasks and deadlines, this tool promotes autonomy, as your child must make their own decisions based on their priorities.

Tip: Print the planner and place it in a clear sheet protector so that it can be reused. You can also suggest that your child write their tasks on sticky notes, which can be moved from column to column as their urgency level changes.
