Host Meryl van der Merwe chats with teen guest, Mishe Breetzke, about how she learned to manage her time more effectively using technology. Mishe, a homeschooled student from South Africa, who is in Meryl’s online Computer Applications class, shares how she realized that feeling “too busy” often came down to poor time management, not too much work.

Mishe explains how she uses the TimeTune app (Android) to plan her days, balance school and hobbies, and reduce stress. She discusses features she loves—like notifications and templates—and what she wishes the app had. Together, she and Meryl also explore other scheduling tools like Todoist, Google Calendar, and analog options such as bullet journaling or spreadsheets.

Listeners will hear:

How teens can recognize and fix time management problems

Why homeschoolers especially benefit from structured schedules

How to build habits gradually without feeling overwhelmed

The importance of remembering you control your schedule—not the other way around

If you have a teen struggling with organization or productivity, this episode is full of practical, relatable insights directly from a student who figured it out herself.
