Hi I am a Middle school student
Let's Learn How to Use Google Calendar Effectively and Correctly together!
Supplies
You will need a:
- Google account to access Google Calendar
- And a few minutes of your time

Then create some non-negotiable breaks so you can eat and so your mind takes a breather from working

Then click on "edit event"

Click on "Daily" to set it for the rest of the year

Now you may repeat the same thing with the lunch and dinner events

After following those steps it should look like this
Adding When to Work and When to Break

Now we are going to add the times you should be working and the times you should be taking a mental breather

Now copy what we did for lunch and dinner so that it runs on an endless loop
The Why We Need Breaks

Without breaks, our minds will start to get burnt out, tired, and frustrated so to prevent that we will be adding some breaks
Your Done!
