Plan your day

- Legitimately plan your day. I typically take time to do this during lunch while at school, as by this time in the school day I know approximately how much homework I will have. Plan out what needs to be done that night versus what you have time to do for yourself. Then, make time for yourself around what’s already organized! Make sure to feature all your extracurriculars in your plan!!!!

Prioritize assignments

- Instead of drowning oneself in assignments, prioritize specific ones. This allows for specialized preparation for the next academic day. It works!!

Say “yes” to social gatherings!

- You may be motivated to not hang out with friends, considering texting a decent enough alternative to physical socialization. IT IS NOT. Rather than text them, say yes when asked to hang out OR ask to hang out yourself. There has to be a balance - TRUST ME.

Do not pressure yourself
