《How To: Survive Teenagehood》48/ Finding Magical Time
Advertisement
I've been told recently that I seem to have access to something called 'magical time'; time which no one else has access to where I can do all my work and stay on top of things. In reality, this 'magical time' is just the result of organisation, and I thought I would just share some advice about how to keep your life on track.
I'm not the most organised person I know, but I am good at sticking to tasks. I wrote a chapter a while back which gave advice about school and to be honest, those tips weren't even that useful so hopefully this chapter will give some actual advice.
So how do you access 'magical time'?
The first thing to do is to have a visual and physical list of all the work you have to do. I'm so forgetful, so I need to always be writing stuff down and honestly this gives you such a good indicator of how much stuff you have to do and therefore how long it will take. Now split your work into three categories: urgent, would be good if it was done, and can do later.
Prioritise. Do the urgent stuff first; this sounds simple but so many people I know get bogged down writing notes or doing extra research which is don't get me wrong, but doing the urgent tasks first means that your stress levels will be decreased massively.
My other main point is to learn how you work the most efficiently but also the quickest. I'm naturally quite fast at working, so this helps me do all my work on time, but I also benefit from knowing my strengths when it comes to working. I have to be alone, in somewhere quiet (not silent though), and without food because it slows me down.
So rule forty eight of surviving Teenagehood: don't let homework consume you. Just don't.

Gruff
Five years ago, the whole country knew Howl as the face of a national public safety initiative that encouraged kids to say no to drugs, keep away from firearms, and not talk to strangers. He had just made a dramatic exit from the corrupt pit of the Hot Type City Police Department and kicked off his own private investigative agency. He was geared up to start helping people for real. Then some punk put Howl’s nephew in the dirt, and everything came to a screeching halt. Now, after a long downward spiral, Howl is one half-empty bottle of scotch away from complete destitution. His shot at redemption comes just in time when a former model struts off the page of a golden-age girlie mag and into his office. Her missing son’s disappearance knocks Howl back into a world full of the drugs, guns, and predators he wasted his youth fighting. This time it will be different. He’s got nothing to lose but something to prove. This time, he will win.
