YEAR 3
My Course
Time Management and Procrastination
This course helps young men take control of their time, their habits, and their daily routines. Instead of just talking about “being productive,” students dig into why procrastination happens in the first place—whether it’s distractions, overthinking, or feeling unmotivated—and learn practical tools to stay on track. Through real-life scenarios, hands-on activities, and honest conversations, students practice breaking big tasks into manageable steps, setting goals they can actually reach, and balancing school, social life, and their own well-being. By the end of the course, students walk away with stronger focus, better organization, and the confidence to handle responsibilities without feeling overwhelmed.
