Ninja Jim. Yup, it's true! So we tried two different things, both of which involved creating a schedule. The first thing we tried was creating an online calendar that we both could manage for him at 30Boxes.net. That didn't work too well, since he wasn't always at a computer, and the features of the thing took a little time to get to understand. The second thing we did was sit down with a piece of paper, draw out seven columns representing the seven days of the week, and create a time calendar. We planned out EVERYTHING—bedtime, wake-up time, school, studio time for his art, and even free time! That way, he could have time for his friends, for his projects, and other things. The schedule needed to be loosely created and strictly followed. The looseness of the schedule allowed for unexpected things, like field trips, to be added in with other things being "caught up" at other times. The strictness brought discipline, and ultimately, better time management.
