The Greatest Time Management Challenge for Students

The Greatest Time Management Challenge for Students

What is the biggest chunk of time that you consider an awkward amount of time? You know what I'm talking about, when you have some time free that you consider too short to really accomplish a task but long enough that you might feel guilty if you just sit and do nothing. So what is that amount of time for you? 10 minutes? 30 minutes? an hour?

And more importantly, how long is that chunk of time for your child?

Today we're talking about the hidden value of an "awkward amount of time."
