As a college student you have a lot of things to do for many different classes. This can be overwhelming! One way to stay on top of things is to make a "to-do list" each morning for that day. (Some people find it helpful to write it at night before they go to bed.) This strategy will help you organize your day and make sure that you complete what needs to be done. If it a great motivator to cross things off as they are completed and then crumple the list and throw it away at the end of the day!
If you feel you do not make the best use of your time, you can also prioritize your list so that you do the most important things first.
If it is a very busy time and you are feeling overwhelmed, a weekly "to-do list" is very helpful. Take a sheet of paper and make columns - one for each day of the week. Then think about what you have scheduled (classes, practices, etc.) and decide what is the best day and time to complete each task. Write each task under the day you plan to do it. Now you can quit worrying about getting things done because you know exactly when you will do them.
There is always more things to do than there is time, so "to-do lists" will help you use your time well, help you not to forget something, and eliminate some of the stress of getting it all done!
