Projects, tests, practices, and a part-time job…your high schooler’s life can get busy. Here’s how to help her take control of her time and feel less stressed.

• Pick— and use— a planner. She might try both a paper planner and an online tool. Which one does she remember to fill in and consult more consistently? After a week she could evaluate and then stick with her preferred format.
• Avoid time wasters. Encourage your high schooler to be aware of activities that take up time but don’t have any real benefits. For instance, if she gets addicted to popular phone games, she may decide to play for a certain period of time and set an alarm to remind herself to stop.
