How To Stay Organized

I stress out very easily and I have learned many skills and techniques that have helped me stay more organized to avoid the problems and situations that stress me out the most. People are busy with so many activities and events going on in their lives added in with plenty of responsibilities that are happening in our busy lives. Also, there is only so much time in the day to accomplish all that a person wants, so making sure all of those things get done in a timely manner will affect your mental health.

First, I try to stay organized by writing down my schedule every week as well as inputting my alarms and appointments in my Alexa based on each day of the week. This helps me know what I need to accomplish each day whether it is calling to make appointments, working on homework hitting the gym, going to work, or cleaning the house. People are busy and time is a crucial thing, so many people need to stay organized to avoid being stressed and forgetting to handle their activities.

Next, planning out when to do my homework is important because I try to make sure I am always ahead on my assignment that way if I fall behind one week then I will still be safe. I also try to stay ahead on writing my articles and being sure I am always ahead.

We all have to go to the doctor or dentist and of course getting our car worked on and other appointments, so I always try to make them for my days off that way I am not crammed on the same day as work. I also try to plan out doing fun activities in advance, so I make sure I have off work and my school assignments are turned in for the week.

I try to have a consistent workout routine to give myself plenty of time to get rest in between my days off from the gym and try to make sure I have a consistent time each week on days where I do not have work because that makes me more wanting to go to be active for a day, and gives me plenty of time to enjoy it. I try to work out from home a little or play basketball to make sure I stay active every day to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

A person needs to have strong health mentally and physically in order to live a happy life with the least amount of stress possible. Stress is not completely avoidable, but there are many tips a person can use to generate less stress and be happy to accomplish their dreams. I recommend these tips as well as working on some new ones that work for you to be able to organize your life and have it in order to live it to the fullest.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
