This is one of my husband’s favorite sayings. While it might be annoying after you have
heard it a hundred times (ask our daughters while they were living at home), it
contains is a lot of wisdom!
We are slightly past the half-way point of the
semester. Deadlines for long-term
projects are looming on the horizon, papers are coming due, mid-term grades
have been posted, Thanksgiving break is ahead and then finals week. It can seem overwhelming! At
my university students also have the added pressure of registering for spring and
summer classes.
One strategy is to take some time to look at the remainder
of the semester as a whole. Get a calendar
and write down what assignments are due and when, the dates of all exams, and the
dates for Thanksgiving break and finals week.
Then, plan out when you will do the work needed for each. If
you have to work over a few weekends, that is okay! Hard work is very satisfying when you can
see that the end it in sight! And it is a lot less stressful when you have a
plan to get everything done.
So now here comes my husband’s saying. You have done the first part; all you have
left to do is the second.
Plan your work and work your plan!
