Provide direction and motivation, especially at the beginning of a new year. Setting both short-term and long-term goals can help students feel focused and inspired.
2. Create a Routine:
Consistency is key! A daily routine can help students manage their time effectively, balance schoolwork and extracurricular activities, and relax.
