I am beginning to think that time management is a myth and we’re all just destined to run around, rushing everything and stressing out.

Let me give you a break down of what the next two weeks entail for me:
– Bio midterm
-2nd Chem wet lab
-Math midterm
-Chem midterm
-Physics midterm
-English paper
-Physics lab

WHAT? I’M TOTALLY FINE… (Help me.)

But in all seriousness I may be completely spazzing out but here’s where priorities come in.

YES I WILL…

• Wake up at 7am on a Saturday to study/do homework (Or blog…)
• TURN OFF MY PHONE
• Figure out a schedule to tackle my day (Which subject goes first and for how long should I study)
• EAT (You can’t think with an empty stomach. Fact.)
• Take breaks… WHEN I NEED TO
• Colour-coordinate my notes (I might be a nerd.)
• Set up a to-do list

NO I WILL NOT…

• Go on facebook and end up distracted for at least half an hour (DO NOT.)
• Go out today (Unless it’s something like a birthday party, or other special occasion exception)
• Take long breaks that mean wasting hours upon hours of time (They creep up on you…)
• Convince myself that I know enough when I really don’t
• Say “I definitely have enough time to watch another episode of Major Crimes and maybe White Collar after that and maybe Warehouse 13 too” (THIS IS GOING TO BE SO HARD.)

Set goals for your day, one or two major ones and then a bunch of little ones that you can say are “maybe-can-be-finished” goals. Don’t tell yourself “I can do this tomorrow” for one of your day goals. Otherwise a horrible cycle will develop and you will be in need of sleep. And lots of it.

Don’t forget to take it easy, one day at a time.
