Organizational Skills
and Time Management 


For students in grades 7 through 12 who want: 
  • More Time
  • Solid Grades 
  • and... (their parents off their back!)
We train our students to efficiently use: 

A Planner               
Record all tasks and events in your Planner, and it will
become a source of answers.

A Folder                    
You only need one folder.

3 Binders            
Even for classes that require a spiral or marble notebook,
three-ring binders are an essential tool for managing notes,
hand-outs, homework, projects and tests & quizzes.

Archive Binders            
You need to keep all of your papers, but you don’t need
to carry them every day. 

Only 6 students per workshop, so sign-up early. 


Lisa Bowstead’s Time Management System is inspired by the philosophies behind the popular Franklin Covey Time Management System. Lisa followed the Franklin Covey System extensively in her 10 years as Project Manager and Systems Analyst at Lehman Brothers, where the Franklin Covey System was an integral part of the corporate culture. 

Lisa has extracted the essence of the Franklin Covey System and adapted it to the tasks, goals and mindset of tweens and teens:

Notebook Management
Homework Management
Project Management 
Time Management

Students who follow Lisa’s system have more time for themselves, fewer fights with their parents and teachers, get more sleep, get better grades, and are generally happier and healthier.  

(Even Lisa’s teen-age son secretly follows the system!)
