Boring Morning Jobs
Alex
I have a lovely dog, but my morning job is very hard. Every day at 6:30, I have to take him for a walk. I really hate getting up early. It is even worse when it is cold and raining outside. I always come back very wet! My parents are busy in the mornings, but I really want my sister to walk him just one day a week. I am tired of doing it every single morning before school.
Jamie
My morning job is making breakfast. I always wake up early to cook eggs and toast for my two younger brothers. I do not have a dog to feed, but cooking for hungry boys is a big job! I always make the same food, and I am bored of it. Now, I put my headphones on and play my favourite songs while I cook. The music makes the time go faster. I wash all the plates and cups before I leave the house.
Sam
Before I leave for school, I have to tidy my bedroom and carry the rubbish bags out to the street. I really do not like these jobs. Because I am always in a hurry, I sometimes do not remember to take the bags outside. Then, my dad gets angry with me. I want to help my family, but I am tired of the rubbish. I wish I could wash the family car or work in the garden instead of my usual jobs.

How to organize your day
Paper Planner
Do you always forget your homework? The Paper Planner method is perfect for you. You only need a notebook and a pen. You should write your checklist in the evening, before you go to bed. This helps you wake up feeling calm and ready for the day. While you work, you must leave your mobile phone in another room. It is much easier to finish your school reading when you do not look at your screen. Tick the boxes when you finish!
Digital Daily
If you love technology, you will enjoy the Digital Daily method. You can download a free checklist app on your phone. You can type all your daily jobs into the app. When it is time to start your homework, the app plays a loud song. This is a great way to remember everything! Also, every time you finish a job, the app gives you online points. You can use these points to play games. It makes organizing your day really fun.
Rainbow Routine
Do you have a lot of different school subjects? The Rainbow Routine can help. You need to buy some coloured pens. Use a different colour for each school subject on your paper. Always look at your list and choose the most difficult job first. When you finish the hard work, the rest of the day is easy! After you finish your checklist, you should put it on the fridge. Then, your mum or dad can see all the great work you do.

Arriving late for work
Sam
I work in a busy café every Saturday. Last weekend, I was very stressed because it rained heavily. The bus was thirty minutes late! I finally arrived, but then I looked in my bag. I didn't have my special work shirt. I forgot it in my bedroom! I had to wear an old T-shirt from the manager. He was quite angry at first. But the café soon became very full of people, so we didn't have time to think about it.
Leo
I wash dogs for a pet shop on Sundays. Last week, my alarm clock broke, so I slept too long. When I woke up, I felt so scared. I put my clothes on fast and ran all the way to the shop. While I was running, my mobile phone fell out of my pocket and broke. When I got to the shop, the dogs were already waiting for me. I felt very bad, but I started washing them immediately.
Max
I help put food on the shelves in a supermarket. Yesterday, I wanted to get to work early, but I got on the wrong bus! I went to the other side of town. I felt very worried, so I used my phone to call my manager. I told her I was going to be late. She said it was okay, but I had to stay at the shop for an extra hour in the evening. I was very tired when I finally went home!
