feeling overwhelmed

so I’ve made mistakes in my first years of uni by leaving everything until the last minute, so I’ve learnt the hard way that you have to be pro-active about your studies... some of the following may seem obvious to active studyblrs but sometimes we all need a reminder. 

here’s some things i’ve learned: 

- don’t be too hard on yourself - you’re not a failure, you just need to learn to manage your time better, try making a weekly timetable so you can plan out study time around any other commitments. 

- prioritise your workload - don’t worry about something that’s due in 3 weeks when you have something you’ve procrastinated doing due in 2 days. 

- know your deadlines! it’s a simple enough concept but double check your dates, write them on your calendars and phones.

- get a wall calendar - there’s some great free templates online - this allows you to clearly see when your deadlines are and when you’re busy periods will be so you can also plan your social life around them. 

- read! read! read! - do your recommended reading each week (if you’re a music student then also recommended listening) and try to gain some background knowledge by borrowing books from the library or even watching a documentary.  

- stay on top of your work - as previously mentioned do your recommended work each week, update your notes regularly and if your institution has recap then use it to fill in any gaps in your notes or revise your course material.

- be clear! make a list of exactly what you have to do for each of your deadlines and/or print out any relevant info for your assignments to avoid a last minute disaster. 

- to-do lists - they’re great but they can also feel really overwhelming. try to focus your to-do lists - prioritise your work and stick to the list - do not jump from the order otherwise you’ll have done all the easy tasks and you’ll be left with all the things you don’t want to do. 

- remove the distractions - airplane mode and do not disturb should be your best friends. if that’s not enough then try online website blockers like StayFocusd & Freedom. if its your flatmates/friends then try working in the silent section of the library where they can’t talk 

- wellbeing - make sure to catch up on anything you miss if you’re ill, email your lecturers/tutors if you’re unsure about something you’ve missed. 

- don’t worry about what everyone else is doing - this sounds selfish but some of us spend so much time helping others, we forget that we have our own work to do... the point is focus on your own studies and your own degree, after all you are working towards your own future.

This Week Recap 8.6.18 - 8.10.18

So I got a lot done this week! Here’s just some of the highlights:

Cleaned my room

Finished the Hate U Give

Worked on my resume

Babysat for 3 days

Finally got through my older college things (I moved home on December and never got to it)

So I would say this week was productive!

If you are struggling remember you CAN do this! I believe in you!
