How to Survive a Busy Week

It's getting to be that time of the semester - the time when everyone has their first major tests or papers due for all of their classes. If you find yourself getting overwhelmed, here are a few tips to help you get back on track....

1. Don't forget to breathe! - It may be a hectic week or two, but it's only temporary. Try to keep things in perspective.
2. Keep an updated daily "To Do" list. - If you can plan out your week ahead of time, things will go much smoother later on.
3. Leave extra space in your schedule. - You never know when a printer will die, you'll have computer problems, or a major traffic jam will disrupt your nicely planned schedule.
4. Don't wait until the last minute. - Something unexpected will almost always come up.
5. Make sure to schedule yourself some downtime. - We all need a little downtime and breathing room. Scheduling some fun into your schedule or just some time to relax can keep you from getting too stressed out. And, it'll help you stay healthy, too!

Good luck!
