Productivity Hacks That Your Students Can Learn and Use to Gain More
Time
As an
educator, you know how challenging some lessons and
projects are for your students. Given the short amount of time you have to
teach them, you must ensure that your class understands what is being asked of
them to do and that they can complete their assignments in the time allotted in
or outside of class.
Timesaving shortcuts and hacks allow students
to make the most of everything they’ve learned without interfering with their
next project or obligations outside of school. By focusing on efficiency,
you’re able to help them accomplish more in less time. The following tips can
be used to help your students get things done fast.
Here are some productivity hacks that your
students can learn and use to gain more time:
· Rather than tackle the
hardest task first, tackle the easiest. If it takes
students two minutes or less to do, it should be the priority. Once the small
tasks are out of the way, they can focus their energy on the more
time-consuming task knowing they’ve already crossed several things off their To
Do lists.
· Commit OHIO to memory. Reiterate the phrase, “Only Handle It Once.” This applies to emails,
instructions, and putting things away in the classroom. If students become
mindful about this concept, they won’t get stuck revisiting the same tasks
twice.
· Stop multi-tasking. Focus on a single task and complete it before moving on to another. It
prevents students from becoming confused and doing a task or project wrong.
Instead
of rushing to get things done and miss the point of the lesson entirely, your
students can maximize the time spent in the classroom by using hacks to increase productivity.
They’ll retain more of what they’ve learned because they’re less focused on the
outcome of the problems they’re solving or the processes they’re going through
