Balance
Hello everyone,
I am a functional unbalanced person and here are my tips and tricks to how I trick people into thinking I'm organized. All jokes aside, learning to prioritize and set a schedule for yourself is an extremely important skill not just in terms of school but in your social life too. Sometimes it's about missing an hour or two of sleep to hang out with your friends to de-stress or it's about doing the opposite of that. Each person has their own way to deal with stress and it's important that you learn what works for you!
MAKE A CALENDAR/ SCHEDULE
Keeping an online calendar makes it easy to keep track of plans/ event
Create a task list for the day/ week
Set internal deadlines for yourself
FOLLOW YOUR SCHEDULE!
SET PRIORITIES
Create a list of all your tasks
To do lists are always fun to make! And, they are a great way to declutter your brain when you have too many things on your mind.
Assess importance
Time sensitive (upcoming deadlines)
Assess value (how important it is to you)
Understand your role in each task
Are you the project manager? You need to be able to understand what is required of you from your role
Are you a member of a team? Come prepared to listen and learn.
Stay active

Diet

Eat fruits and veggies

Spend time with friends and family
Leave time for yourself

Plan Ahead
Once you have a to-do list and understand how to prioritize… it’s time to plan how you can tackle each task.
Always break things down to small steps so it’s easier to accomplish.
