Prioritizing

Something that can seem really obvious and easy to do is to prioritize the aspects of your life yet so many of us seem to dismiss that idea and refuse to incorporate it into our tasks.

Prioritize means to deal with an aspect in your own order of importance

Many times we think that everything in our lives is important and should be taken care of first and before even moving on to acknowledge a completely different task that we don't even end up handling the first situation in the appropriate way or at all. We become overwhelmed with the amount of work that needs to be done and tasks that need to be completed.

Majority if not all the time, teachers are constantly offended when students show signs of interest in another class or place another class higher in their importance scale. But in reality that is what needs to be done. Being a student there are certain classes that you can't even imagine missing an assignment in or putting their homework off until the end when it's 1 am and you're brain dead and we also have those classes that we are fine with finishing homework the next morning on the bus.

The interest in the courses varies depending on the students and their interests as well as easiness and capability of the subject. We have to put our teachers feelings to the side and listen to ourselves and make ourselves in control of our tasks and our routines for tackling the crazy amount of homework that is given to us.

Before starting your homework, take some time to yourself. Take about 30-45 minutes to yourself to go on social media or watch Netflix, or sleep. Take time to allow your brain to wonder off and become involved in something that you like to do. Then prioritize and make a list on a piece of paper of the homework you have and list it by how you feel you will be able to handle it and attack it in the most effective way.

ITS YOUR HOMEWORK AND YOUR ATTACKING SKILLS. Prioritize it in any way that you want. The most boring to the most exciting. The most challenging to the least. The most crafty one to the most time consuming. You decide how you want to take on the homework for the day.


Make your list and follow it at your own pace. Focus on what you need to get done and envision yourself when you finish it and how happy you'll be when you know you're going to be able to cross it out off of that unwanted list. Allow your brain to relax in between the homework that need to get done. After you finish one assignment give yourself a small break and keep in mind that you're just prepping yourself for how you're going to finally unwind when you've crossed everything off that list.

And remember... You can get through this semester.
