Time Management Worksheets for Kids and Teens! - Free Printable

This worksheet is designed to help you organize your tasks by sorting them into three categories based on priority. Since this is a personal planning tool, there are no single "correct" answers—instead, you should fill in the boxes with tasks from your own life (like schoolwork, chores, or hobbies).

Here is how to approach each section and some examples of what you might write:

1. URGENT!
* What goes here: Things that must be done immediately or very soon. If you don’t do these now, there might be negative consequences (like a bad grade or getting in trouble).
* Examples:
* A homework assignment due tomorrow morning.
* Studying for a test happening the next day.
* Returning a library book before it’s overdue.
* Getting ready for bed if it’s already late.

2. IMPORTANT!
* What goes here: Things that matter a lot for your long-term goals or health, but they don’t have to be done *right this second*. You should schedule time for these so they don’t become urgent later.
* Examples:
* Starting a big project that isn’t due for two weeks.
* Cleaning your room thoroughly (not just picking up clothes).
* Exercising or practicing a sport/instrument.
* Reading a book for pleasure.

3. IT CAN WAIT!
* What goes here: Things that are fun or nice to do, but won’t cause any problems if you skip them today or do them later. These are often distractions if you do them before your urgent and important tasks.
* Examples:
* Playing video games.
* Watching TV or scrolling through social media.
* Drawing or coloring for fun.
* Organizing old toys that aren’t needed right now.
