Homework Methods and Homework Station

Hey Flykids!
Yeah - homework isnt fun but the faster you get it over with, the faster you can put it back in your backpack and forget about it. I have a couple of tricks for doing homework.

1.  You can try doing 1 subject of homework and then take a 10-15 minute break and repeat. Be sure to set a timer while taking your breaks so you dont get sidetracked!

2. You can do 15 minutes of homework 5-10 minute breaks until it is finished. (Again make sure you set a timer! (Idea from flylady.net)

3.  If you can concentrate how about asking your parents if you can get a desk to put in your room and close your door or you can make  this :

DIN Principle

Hey Flykids!
Your probably wondering what the DIN Principle is! DIN stands for DO IT NOW. The principle part, well, doesn't have much meaning here. When can you use the DIN Principle? ALL THE TIME!

1.When you come in the door instead of dropping your schoolbag or whatever you have in your hands by the front door - just put it right where it belongs. (Doesn't have a spot? That is where de-cluttering comes in.. I will write my next post on de-cluttering!) This keeps it tidy and then your parents don't have to yell at you to put it away or ask you over and over again while you are playing video games or doing something you like to do.

2. When you get home from school do your homework now. ( I have a few secrets for that.. And if you are home-schooled, like I am , I have tricks for getting schoolwork done (I will post about it very soon! :D)

3. When your parents ask you to do something DIN. This may seem like a bother but the quicker you get it done the faster you will be able to get to play! (whether that means video games etc...)

4. When you get up in the morning do your MR right away! Same with your BBR :D

5. When you play with something or get something out - put it away right away when you are done with it.

6. When you change clothing - if that pair of clothing is dirty - put it in the hamper.

          These are just a few ideas! I am sure you can come up with many more example!
                                         Have Fun!

Control Journal Day 10

Today is the last day for the steps! Of course you will have to remake your routines as seasons change and maybe this summer that routine will involve going out side! ( Make sure you have parents permission to go outside) Maybe you can add a wishlist to you control journal or a summer wish list ( Family movie night, picnic, sleep in tents, have a sleep over...etc)


            Have fun!!
               Jess
I am sooo proud of you for making your control journal and doing your routines!!

Control Journal Day 9

Hey all!
I have a couple of things I am going to show you today but it is your choice to put this in your CJ or not.

I added a Bedroom detailed cleaning (Based on Flyladys Childrens bedroom detailed cleaner)  (I would probably do about 3 a week through out the month)

And I added a weekly room blessing that I (try to) do on Mondays.

Have fun!!
