The 5-minute review should be used to try to retrieve
from memory what you have been learning (and
strategies for retrieval are discussed shortly). Where
possible use a timer to keep you on track. This could
be a cooking timer or your watch. Try not to use your
phone for this purpose as having it beside you might
create too much temptation.
Those periods in your planner when you are not studying should be used as
60-minute blocks for your other activities. We would also encourage you to
take at least one day off from school work per week. Check out the exemplar
on the next page to see how one student planned out their week. You will see
they have a good balance between schoolwork and other activities. They have
also set out some study and wellbeing or personal priorities for the week.
Your planner will be unique to you and it will vary every week. You may
prefer to do homework straight after school or later in the evening: this is an
individual (and sometimes a family) choice. Just make sure that you spread
these sessions over the week as opposed to cramming them into one block
of work. This will allow your brain time to digest all the information and give it
the best chance of remembering what you are learning. Last thing: get to bed
early as sleep is central to performance in school and in life.

Weekly planning will help you stay
in control of your studies but also
encourage you to set aside specific
time for all the other important
things that are central to your
overall wellbeing.
