Why Your Teen Struggles to Stay on Top of School

Megan Sumrell: Time Management and Productivity Coach Episode 301

Picture this: It's Sunday night, you're winding down from dinner, and your teen casually mentions they need supplies for a project due tomorrow. Sound familiar?

If you've been frustrated watching your capable kid struggle to stay on top of their school schedule, here's some relief: it's not because they're lazy or procrastinating. The transition from elementary school's single-teacher environment to juggling seven different teachers is like going from having one boss to managing seven different jobs with seven different communication styles - and no one teaches them how to handle this massive shift.

Add in extracurriculars, family time, and basic teenage needs for downtime, and it's no wonder our kids feel overwhelmed. The good news? There's a planning approach specifically designed for students that actually works.

In This Episode, I'll Cover:

  • Why the transition to multiple teachers creates planning chaos for students
  • The two major mistakes most student planners make
  • How to reduce friction at home around homework and deadlines
  • The four essential planning levels every student needs to master
  • A new solution specifically designed for overwhelmed students and families
