Dear
Sahana,
I
received your letter this afternoon and was quite worried to know that you are
finding it difficult to manage your time. I have always known you to be a very
sensible and responsible and responsible person and hence this fact surprises
me.
From
your letter, I gather that you have too many activities chalked out for the
day. I suggest that you give up one or two which are not connected with your
studies, for example, going for chess classes. You have also mentioned that you
are taking both singing and dancing lessons. I suggest that you give up one of
them.
Allocate
a specific time for your homework. I know that you love reading storybooks, but
keep that for the time just before you
go to bed. Also, and this is very important-cut down on the time that you watch
TV. I think you are watching not only your favourite cartoons, but also the TV
serials that chachiji loves to watch (that is what she told me in her letter to
me!)
Remember,
studies are your priority. Everything else can be either done away with or
curtailed. Knowing what your priorities are is the first step towards effective
time-management.
I
hope my letter has been of some help to you. Do write about the changes you
have made in your schedule.
Your
loving brother,
XYZ
