Can I make it in football starting as a senior at 145 lbs and lean, if I commit to practicing and conditioning all summer? I’m looking for an honest assessment. I just joined the team, and by my senior year, I’ll be 19, which could be an advantage. I haven’t played since childhood, but I’m […]
It sounds overwhelming to have that many assignments due in such a short time! Here are some tips to help you stay calm and make the most of the time you have:
Prioritize Tasks: Quickly scan through all your assignments and categorize them based on difficulty and how long you think each will take. Focus on the ones that carry the most weight or the ones you can complete quickly.
Break It Down: Divide each assignment into smaller, manageable tasks. For example, instead of thinking about completing a whole paper, focus on drafting just the introduction first.
Set Time Limits: Use a timer (like the Pomodoro technique: 25 minutes of focused work followed by a 5-minute break) to keep yourself on track. This can help you maintain focus while also giving you short breaks to recharge.
Stay Hydrated and Snack Smart: Drink water and have some light snacks on hand to keep your energy up, but avoid sugary snacks that may lead to energy crashes.
Limit Distractions: Put your phone on Do Not Disturb and try to find a quiet workspace. If you’re tempted to check social media or notifications, consider using apps that block distractions temporarily.
Stay Positive: Take a few deep breaths and remind yourself that you can get through this. A positive mindset can make a big difference!
Use Resources Wisely: If you have access to any online resources, tools, or classmates who can help with certain parts of assignments, don’t hesitate to use them to speed things up.
Take Care of Yourself: If you feel yourself starting to panic, take a moment to step away, breathe deeply, or do a quick stretch. Sometimes a short break can reset your focus.
Once you get through this, consider reviewing your workload and planning ahead to manage your time better in the future. Good luck! You’ve got this!
