LESLIE LIKES: Time Management Tools For Students
Time management is hands down the biggest struggle for students. It’s no secret that managing your time effectively can help you feel in control and increase your productivity. That’s why it’s SO important for students to learn time management skills. Here are a few of our favorite products to help your student with time management, beat procrastination and increase their focus.
DIGITAL TIMER
Time management is easy if you use the right tools! This new and innovative digital timer helps you stay focused, beat procrastination, and become more productive. It’s simple and fun to use too! Simply rotate the timer position to start a countdown, then rotate it back to the clock position to stop the countdown. This timer features 5 preset countdown times: 5, 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes with a high, low, and silent alarm volume and flashing alert light.

PORTABLE PHONE TIMER LOCK BOX (aka “cell phone jail”)
So many of you have asked us for recommendations on this one! This digital phone lock box helps eliminate distractions, allowing your student to focus and giving them more time to get work done efficiently. It fits most mobile phones, is lightweight and portable and you can set the timer for any amount of time up to 99 hours. It’s a great time management tool for anyone that is easily distracted by their phone (and aren’t we all)!

NON-TICKING ANALOG CLOCK
Of course, our favorite time management products list wouldn’t be complete without a good old fashioned analog clock! An analog clock lets you see time move – you can see the present time, elapsed time and future time. Seeing this helps us have a better understanding of how long we have for tasks and to meet deadlines. We like this simple clock with bold, easy to read black numbers and a silent non-ticking mechanism. These are great for every room in the house (yes, even the bathroom)!
