Time management is a challenge for everyone, but it is a particularly daunting challenge for middle and high school students. There is an expectation that at their age they should be independent and know how to get things done on their own. But teens are busier than ever. Between homework, school, afterschool activities, family, friends, jobs, and more, teens often find that their time is truly NOT their own. Add in the fact that they often lack the tools to manage their time; maybe it’s a little unrealistic for parents to expect their teenagers to instinctively know how to manage time."What’s the Deal with Teens and Time Management" takes parents step-by-step through the basics of teaching their teens the time management skills they need to succeed—at school, at work and in life!This is a user-friendly guide full of best practice solutions for helping teens stay on top of their homework, avoid procrastination traps, get out the door in the morning with minimal conflict and manage the use of their electronics. In a readable, breezy and witty fashion, Josel opens the door to the world of time management, what it really means, why it’s important and why your teen probably doesn’t “get it.” And throughout the book, Josel offers up the “Triple Ts” – her tried and true Tips, Tools and Techniques – to provide support and guidance for parents looking to help their teens understand, develop and implement time management skills.In this book, you’ll learn:• The FIVE mindsets parents need to start their teen on the journey of time management awareness.• How to create a “Personal Homework Profile” to better understand how your teen tackles homework.• How to help your teen create a time sense and develop “future awareness”.• How to pick an appropriate paper or electronic academic planner and how to properly plan their time.• How to create a peaceful and calm morning routine to get your teen out the door in the morning without anxiety and frustration.• Case studies, useful resources, Leslie’s straight talk and much, much more!Time Management is a Life Skill that Doesn’t Come Naturally to Everyone. It Can be Learned.

IT ALL STARTED WITH MY SON.

I'm an award-winning ADHD-academic and parenting coach, and founded Order Out of Chaos® in 2004 when my son was first diagnosed with ADHD. Our mission is to provide hands-on education, guidance and coaching to parents and their students through our customized products and programs, so all children – both mainstream and neuro-diverse – can develop the necessary skills needed to experience success in learning and in life.

I'm the creator of the award-winning Academic Planner: A Tool for Time Management®, a planner that helps students develop time management and planning skills. The planner, awarded glowing reviews by many media outlets including Family Circle and ADDitude magazines, is a 2022 Calendar Marketing Association Gold Award recipient for the BEST children's planner.

A respected resource on ADHD and Executive Functioning in students, I write the weekly “Dear ADHD Family Coach®” column for ADDitude Magazine, the premiere magazine for adults and children with ADHD. I also speak to audiences all over the world helping them utilize their resources to best navigate the task-driven world in which they live.

I'm the award-winning author of three books, "The Complete Diabetes Organizer: Your Guide to a Less Stressful and More Manageable Diabetes Life", and "What’s the Deal with Teens and Time Management: A Parent’s Guide to Helping Your Teen Succeed", published by People Tested Media in 2015. My latest book, "How to Do it Now Because it’s Not Going Away: An Expert Guide to Getting Stuff Done" (Lerner Publishing), was released in October 2020.

In 2020, my line of student organizing products developed with SamSill Corp was released. And for the last seven years, I've been named by Global Gurus as one of the top 20 Time Management experts in the world.

My husband and I split our time between Los Angeles and New York City and my kids are flown and grown. In my all-too-rare spare time, you can find me hiding out in my car indulging in my favorite treats – entertainment magazines and frozen yogurt.

Loved this book! Easy to read with excellent step-by-step instruction. Great educational tool for parents to have with insightful strategies for helping children learn time management skills that will benefit them for a lifetime. I highly recommend this to any parent with children. You don't have to wait for your children to become teenagers. This book is great for children in elementary school as well. The sooner your children start using the strategies described in this book the better off and "ahead of the game" they'll be.

4.0 out of 5 stars Time Management Tips for Teens
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2015
If you have watched your child write his first research paper or study for an important exam, you have probably noticed some time management issues. There are so many more interesting and fun things to do than to spend several hours studying or writing weeks before something is due. You may have resorted to constant nagging or cringed as your teen flipped into panic mode at the last minute.

I was intrigued when I was offered the chance to review a time management book specifically addressing the time management issues of teens. What’s the Deal with Teens and Time Management? by Leslie Josel attempts to teach parents the best way to help their teens develop better time management skills.

As with almost any book about teens today, the author spends some time addressing the not-quite fully developed executive function center of the brain. Personally, I would love to see someone do a study as to whether the way teens are parented today has somehow stunted the growth of the executive function area of the brain. I have seen many teens who have better developed executive function skills than most of the adults I know. I would imagine their parents have worked to help them learn and practice these skills many times during their young life.

Once the author moves past this executive function caveat as to why her methods may not work, she really does break down the time management issues in understandable ways. Her tips are practical and should be easily taught to the average teen.

I appreciate the author for giving readers sample charts and tables to use when helping their teens. There is a lot of practical advice covering everything from homework to getting ready in the morning to how technology is changing time management. She also gives a list of additional resources and other things to have your child checked for if her strategies don’t help.

While this book does’t cover every issue or tip on time management, it is a quick, easy read with enough practical tips to be helpful. If your teen is struggling with time management issues, this book may be what you need to get him on track.

This book was given to me for free in exchange for my honest review.

While Leslie Josel markets herself as an 'expert' and talks about her book being 'filled' with info, I found the information presented here elementary and repetitive at best. She writes from a very narrow scope. If you have read books on corporate time managment, ADD/ADHD or Executive Function Disorder, do not buy this book. The info will be useless to you.
