Here's a little pep talk from the former First Lady.

If you have a part time job and have been taxed you will need to fill in a tax return. If you have never lodged a tax return before, The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has information here.

Cooking a meal is an important life skill every teenager should learn - here are five easy chicken recipes from Taste.

We've all sat down to check Instagram for five minutes, or gone to bed and watched "a couple" of youtube videos only to put the phone down an hour later and wonder where that extra 55 minutes went. It can be very frustrating and stressful when you lose track of your break time and end up being time poor for important tasks like getting ready for school or finishing your homework. Here are some tips to prevent wasting time:

1. Put your phone in another room
2. Turn off social media alerts on your laptop
3. Start a timer for your breaks
4. Find somewhere to do your homework where the TV and other noise won't distract you
5. Get up and move your body in your breaks - don't just switch your computer screen for your phone screen
6. Set realistic goals - don't expect to work on your assignment for two hours straight before you take a break
7. You can set app limits under settings on your iPhone or use a time management app such as Rescue Time.

A very important life skill.
