Work:
The first sheet of paper representing all the work her
homework comprised, was
deliberately
larger than the second sheet of paper which represented the
time she had within which to complete her homework, making it
visually obvious there wasn't enough time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Time:
The second sheet of paper representing the time within which
her homework assignment had to be completed ie the "by when",
was smaller than the first sheet, again making the point
visually that there wasn't enough time to complete the work,
overwhelming her.

Work can't get done in time:
Comparing the size of the first sheet (work) to the second
(time) made it clear she didn't have enough time to get her
homework done especially if she considered doing
all of it all at once and / or on the same day. There was
no way she could get done in time.

Time fragments:
The first breakthrough came in fragmenting the assigned time
into pieces that can each be scheduled on different days on
or before the completion date of her homework, allowing a
daunting project to be scheduled one easy piece at a time
instead of all at once.

|
Work fragments:
The second breakthrough came in fragmenting the work her
homework comprised into pieces fitting a scheduled time
fragment, the hardest part of which was convincing her she
didn't have to get it all done at once, as long as it got
done before the "by when" date.

Work gets done in time:
Now she gets her homework done in time in (I might add) a
relaxed manner in a series of time fragments allocated to
homework every day, leaving lots of time left over for her to
play and not be swamped by homework ie by not having to get
it all done at once.
