What subjects do you do?
Overall, list each topic you do in each of your lessons and base your revision off that. Start with learning the content and then doing exam questions. I done that throughout my GCSEs and also the start of A levels and it is effective. If you do this, I recommend doing 2-3 hours of revision a day, maybe start with 2 until you get used to it. You can always increase to 3 if you need.
Continuing with academics, you can either have a physical calendar or just a digital one to track when assignments/homework is due in to ensure you do it on time.
Now for daily life in general, I recommend waking up in the morning with enough time to have a decent breakfast, have a shower and wake up (approx 1 hour before you leave). After school, i like to do some sort of exercise even if it ends up just being a walk (which helps to improve mental health/well being). Then I usually like to revise in 30 minute chunks with a 5 minute break in between or sometimes longer to include dinner. Then until I go to bed, I relax and do hobbies.
This is my daily schedule if it helps:
7:00-8:00 Breakfast and Shower
8:00-3:15 School (including travel)
3:15-3:30 Snack, relax
3:30-4:20 Exercise (Usually a 25-30 minute beginner workout with often extra breaks that prove I am out of shape)
4:20-4:30 Recover from exercise
4:30-5:00 Subject 1
5:05-5:35 Subject 1
5:40-6:10 Subject 2
6:10-6:50 (Enough time to cook dinner for the entire household and eat)
6:50-7:10 Subject 2
7:15-7:45 Subject 3 (or free time)
7:50-8:20 Subject 3 (or free time)
8:20-10:00/11:00 Free time
I hope this gives you a rough idea of how to manage your time. Also, you can get chat gpt to give you examples too.
Just to add for procrastination, i recommend having something (big or small) to look forward to if you do EVERYTHING you planned to do. And if you don't, you don't get/do the thing

I recently started sixthform and I have no idea about how to manage my time at the moment. And I want to start studying for a level from now on because I procrastinate a lot and take lots of time to understand something. is there a y recommendation for me to what to do about it ?
For me what helped is to be concistent. It doesnt really matter if you prefer to revise before dinner or after dinner ... this is very personal to everyone and your own motivation and learning style. What matters is to be consistent: try a routine and keep with it, be regular! Also you need to find resources that you enjoy. For example for me youtube video and BBC bite size are best in the evening when im too tired to do active work and when passive listening is easier. Flashcards I do when I have energy during the weekend as it requires a lot of focus. And then I use Tilf website over the weekends after I feel comfortable writing my essays and getting the mark on it. but it depends as well on your subjects .

I've been there a lot, just actually having a break from it all now.
I find it easy just to stay up later one night just to get it all done rather than do it over a few days.

I completely understand how you feel. The move from GCSE to A-levels can be overwhelming, but staying organised should be your number 1 priority. This may take trial and error and a little bit of practice to figure out what works for you
To manage your time effectively, I recommend you make a revision plan. This could be dedicating certain days to certain subjects. Make sure to dedicate more time to the topics you struggle with. Personally, I use to dedicate at least 2-4 hours a day to revision nearer to exam time in year 13 and it was organised into a weekly schedule.
To stay organised I recommend:
1) Make flashcards after class - This was my favourite way to stay on top of things. This used to take me up to an hour and a half a day depending on my classes, but sometimes it only took 30 minutes. It is an excellent way to remain organised.
2) Find what technique works for you - Past papers, revision cards, mind maps, teaching others, group activities, blurting and more. There are so many techniques to use. I recommend researching into what way you learn best, whether it is visual, auditory or kinaesthetic (or a combination of them).
One of the most important parts to being successful in your A-levels is having breaks and make sure not to revise every hour and every day! Have days off and do anything that takes you away from studying. Your brain needs to have a break, if you revise for hours and hours it likely will get difficult to remember.
I hope this helped, please feel free to ask me any questions,
