Start by Planning Each Day
Planning is essential to success in all you do. While this seems like a humongous task, it can be reduced to simpler and less demanding task when you plan well. So, start by creating a comprehensive plan and schedule on how your work and tutoring tasks will go each day.

Seek Learning Aids

Schedule Routines for Your Work

- A specific task –e.g. reading and replying work emails
- Time – You should also learn to allot time to each task to avoid spending too much time a particular task. For the example used above, you can allot 30 minutes to reading and replying official emails. It’s helpful to include the start and end time – e.g. 10:00 am to 10:30 am. You should have a time piece close by.
- A target. In the case of specific task above, you can target at least 10 emails within the time allotted.
- Performance measure for your set goals
