Have you run out of excuses about why your homework’s not done on time? Do you struggle to find clean, matching socks most mornings and it’s not unusual for your school bag to be filled with random papers and the remnants of half eaten lunches?
Basically, you are never organised.
Can’t find your assignments
Don’t know the due dates
And you regularly take your books for Friday on Thursday and Monday on Wednesday
Consequently it feels like your parents and teachers are always on your case.
Totally sucks doesn’t it.
You also might be a parent reading this and you have just gone OMG this is my child.
Or a teacher who knows that if some of your students could just get it together and get organised they would realise so much more of their potential as students.
I COMPLETELY GET WHAT IT’S LIKE.
This was me in Year 11…I had two choices really, leave school and get a job or get my act together, get organised and do the work to get me through my senior school years.
Luckily I chose the second option, because it’s enabled me to do some pretty awesome things as a result….including working as a professional musician for more years than I like to count!
I studied psychology at uni then went on to complete a post graduate diploma of education but rather than work in a classroom environment I started my own tutoring and mentoring business. Over the last twenty years I’ve worked with countless kids to help them develop rockstar study skills and awesome organisation while teaching them how to stay motivated and manage anxiety.
One thing I have learned FOR SURE over the years is that being organised is a major key to developing great study skills.
When you’re not organised you tend to get overwhelmed easily, stuff gets lost ALL THE TIME and you feel like you always have someone on your case.
It’s not a great feeling…and I have a great solution for it.
It’s called Organisation for Rockstars and it will teach you the skills and simple systems (oh yes, if you want to be organised you NEED systems) to:
- Get your homework done and handed up on time, no all-nighters required
- Ensure you ALWAYS have the right stuff with you when you need it
- Make sure you have time to properly relax AND get a good night’s sleep
What will this mean?
- Less flak from your teachers and parents
- No more ‘my dog ate my homework’ or any other ridiculous excuses
- You’ll feel much more confident because you’ll feel a whole lot more successful
- Asking for extensions (and feeling anxious because of it) will become a thing of the past
- With great organisation systems in place you’ll have time to spend just hanging out.
When you are totally on top of your schoolwork you’ll be able to actually relax because you aren’t constantly worrying about how you are going to get your assignments handed up on time.
Becky provides the support to bridge the gap between school and home. My son loved working with her each week as she reinforced confidence in his own abilities, helped him with organisational skills and provided the structure to meet deadlines, etc.
Becky’s mentoring allowed me to provide a Mother’s support rather than nagging to do homework and study, taking a lot of stress and anxiety out of year 12 for both my son and all the family.
What’s included?
Instant access to all six modules.
Having worked with hundreds of senior school students over the years I’ve developed a series of video lessons, mindset tasks and homework challenges to guide you through developing and implementing amazing organisation for yourself.
Parent notes to enable your parent or carer to support you through the process of getting organised.
Your ‘homework’ checked over with feedback from me – the homework won’t be overwhelming, it’s designed to help get the systems in place for you to be successful about making organisation work FOR you.
Regular emails once you sign up to ensure that you get the most out of the course.
Module One – Introduction to Organisation
Forget the fancy definitions, organisation is all about STUFF!
Knowing:
WHERE your STUFF is
WHEN your STUFF needs to be done
WHAT STUFF you need
Let’s find out what your organisational reality is and start creating a strong foundation to build on.
Module Two – Getting your Mindset Right
Before you start setting up your systems it’s essential to get your mindset right.
In this module we’ll set some organisational goals and I’ll provide you with some progress tracking tools + notes for carers than ensure you get the best kind of support.
Module Three – Making Systems Work For You
You name it, I’ve got an organisational system for it. Whether it’s your room, your school locker or your study area if it’s important for you getting your study done then this module will help you to get it organised in a way that works for you.
Module Four – Using a Diary
Diaries are fantastic for staying on top of your organisation, provided that you actually know how to use them. How many times have you opened your new diary for the year with the best intentions of being organised this year? Only to look back at months of blank pages come December?
This module teaches you exactly how to use that diary so that you stop relying on memory once and for all.
Module Five – Stationery and Technology for Organisation
Rockstar organisation happens when you go a step beyond using systems and a diary to your advantage. In this module you’ll learn the best ways to choose and use stationery, technology and a white board to help you manage everything you have going on.
Module Six – Time Management and Communication
Now that your STUFF is organised and you’ve got all the other excuses dealt with let’s take a good look at how you use your time and how best to manage it. We’ll look at how you can best break big, overwhelming tasks into small, more manageable pieces and ensure that you have time left over for all important rest and relaxation too.
Having been identified as falling through the cracks at school, unable to sit still and concentrate in class and rarely finishing a piece of work, my daughter was recommended Becky as a tutor.
Becky taught her how to manage her time, structure her work, take relevant notes and prepare and revise for tests.
The results have been extraordinary!! Along with the skills she has learnt the most fundamental thing Becky has taught her is to believe in herself. She is now a confident and happy student, achieving amazing results in her chosen subjects, with clear goals of where she is going and what is needed to achieve them.
We cannot thank Becky enough and I regularly recommend her when I hear of others struggling to reach their potential, as we are so thankful someone recommended her to us.
In case we haven’t met yet:
I’m a mentor, professional musician and loving mum of two daughters from Adelaide, Australia. I have a passion for travel and adventure, entertaining friends, physical fitness and a fascination with all things to do with the brain and how it works.
I have a “busy brain” that was diagnosed as “hyperactivity” (before the days of the ADHD label) when I was a toddler. It’s not easy to focus on one thing with a busy brain, which was evident in my early school reports. I decided to “train my brain” and teach myself strategies to help with my concentration and organisation. The result saw me win a scholarship to study music at Adelaide University before starting my final year at high school and I’ve never looked back.
For more than twenty years I’ve been working with high school students to help them achieve their best by teaching and mentoring them to develop awesome study skills supported by great organisation and concentration.
To help me reach more students I’ve packaged up everything I know about students and organisation to develop Organisation for Rock Stars. Organisation is an essential key to developing great study skills
As a parents we wanted the best for our children and we found that in Becky Blake. She worked with both our children as senior high school students with excellent results.
Becky has the knowledge and skills, not to mention the patience, to instil confidence and technique as she guides and teaches organisation for exams and assignments; which for some may be overwhelming.
Still not quite sure?
I understand that this is a significant investment and giving you a line about it being an investment in your child’s future, whilst it is true, is pretty sleazy.
