II While reading

Being independent is being able to take care of yourself, and not having to rely on anyone else That is what many young people strive for However, the ability to live independently does not develop naturally: you need a number of life skills to stop relying on your parents and older siblings Among those skills, time management is probably the most important one With good time-management skills, you can build your confidence and self-esteem These skills will also help you to perform your daily tasks, including your responsibilities at school and at home If you can use your time wisely, you will not feel very stressed when exam dates are approaching You can act more independently and responsibly, get better grades at school and have more time for your family and friends.

Time-management skills are not difficult to develop First, make plans for the things you need to do on a planner or an app on your mobile device Organise them in a schedule so that they can be checked later Figure out how much time you will need for each of the things, and then put time limits

on them Second, prioritise your activities If you have so much to do in a day

or a week, you may be at a loss as to how to fit everything in So decide what

is important to you and give it the most of your time or add it to the top of your list Third, develop routines, because once routines are developed, they take less time to do

Time-management skills cannot be developed in one day However, when you have them, they can help you to become independent
