Put enjoyable activities into your schedule. By doing this, you are giving priority to your emotional health. If you wait for free time to open in your schedule you may never have the time. Try to fit in the little activities that help keep you happy, such as taking breaks or walks between studying. When talking with friends, focus on listening to what they are saying instead of being distracted by your own work.
Flexibility is an essential element of effective time management and stress reduction.
Students should understand that tasks and priorities may change during the course of the week and have the ability to handle these changes. One of the keys to handling changes is the ability to constantly assess your priorities and adjust them. Flexibility is necessary, however, be careful not to rationalize your procrastination. Be honest with yourself. When things happen during the week that are beyond your control and force you to change your plans, don't panic.
