00:00:08.092 --> 00:00:10.355
Hi kids, we're recording this one in the car.

00:00:10.355 --> 00:00:14.669
This is Haki, mom Christy and her daughter Sophia.

00:00:14.669 --> 00:00:22.067
We want to talk to you about something that's really important, and it's important to learn this at an early age.

00:00:22.067 --> 00:00:24.707
It's time management.

00:00:24.707 --> 00:00:29.010
You kids are going to find it a struggle at first.

00:00:29.010 --> 00:00:37.463
You got to do your homework, you got to be places, you got to be the ring on time practice and all that.

00:00:37.463 --> 00:00:42.331
Sophia is going to chime in right now with some advice.

00:00:42.331 --> 00:00:46.810
Sophia, what do you suggest as far as the best way to manage your time?

00:00:48.100 --> 00:00:56.024
I would definitely suggest keeping a weekly planner where you can write down everything you have to do that day.

00:00:56.024 --> 00:01:06.191
It just makes it a lot easier to keep track of all your homework assignments, when your practices are and when your games are, and that way you can plan ahead.

00:01:06.700 --> 00:01:08.626
That's a great tip keeping a planner.

00:01:08.626 --> 00:01:14.512
How do you feel about needing to do things right away?

00:01:14.512 --> 00:01:20.512
How important is it, when you get an assignment, no matter what it is, not to wait?

00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:24.509
I'd say it's really important, especially when it comes to homework.

00:01:24.509 --> 00:01:36.810
I try to do a little bit each time, so when you are doing it it's not super overwhelming and you have at least a little bit done, so it doesn't take as much time.

00:01:38.340 --> 00:01:43.371
You play college hockey, so that must have been crazy busy.

00:01:43.371 --> 00:01:52.114
That's like having two jobs going to school and having all those obligations for hockey.

00:01:52.114 --> 00:01:53.543
You were on the road a lot.

00:01:53.543 --> 00:01:58.972
You had games that were sometimes a day away just to get there.

00:01:58.972 --> 00:02:00.944
How did you manage all that?

00:02:02.861 --> 00:02:05.528
Well being on a coach bus.

00:02:05.528 --> 00:02:10.542
You learn to use that to your advantage, and kids can do that in the car too.

00:02:10.542 --> 00:02:15.951
Work on your homework during your rides to the rink or rides to games.

00:02:15.951 --> 00:02:24.665
It's a perfect opportunity to work on a little bit of homework and then tune in to what you want to do on the ice a little bit after.

00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:33.810
What did you do when you got really stressed out, when things seemed like, oh my gosh, I've got so much to do and hockey?

00:02:35.081 --> 00:02:44.087
I usually shoot pucks for a little bit and maybe take like a 10 to 15 minute break each time I was doing an assignment that was really getting to me.

00:02:45.401 --> 00:02:46.225
Excellent advice.

00:02:46.225 --> 00:02:50.650
All right, kids, get that homework done when you're riding to the rink.

00:02:50.650 --> 00:02:54.081
This is Kristy and Sophia signing off.
