A schedule is a simple plan for when you will do things that need to be done. Making a schedule also helps you make sure that you do not forget any events or activities. Using a schedule regularly will help you make sure that you complete the most important things in your life. For example, a schedule can help you remember to complete your chores and schoolwork before you spend time with friends.

It may be helpful to create a schedule at the beginning of each week and then review it each day. It is OK to change things in your schedule when new activities arise or other tasks become more important. In your daily prayers, ask for help to accomplish the tasks you have scheduled.
