Don’t be shy about asking Siri to remind you to study for your test tomorrow at noon. Having this help at an exact time will help you keep your days as productive as you intended them to be and it will be less you need to stress about before you go to bed.

Don’t procrastinate

If you're going to have to do it eventually, try not to wait until the last minute. Don’t make yourself suffer and think about all you have to do the following day, try to get things that need a lot of attention and time done in increments so you can worry less at night and sleep sounder.

Don’t feel the need to accomplish everything in one day

Take your time, and slow down. If you are working your hardest and paying close attention to deadlines, you will get everything done. Don’t feel the pressure to get everything done in one sitting. If you need to take a break and get back to the task at hand the next day, do it. Adding unnecessary stress to your body and brain is not going to help your anxiety or your body rest for the night.

Express yourself

Holding in emotions and not fully expressing your thoughts can lead to an anxious mind. Talk to someone about your day, tell them about the funny things that happened, the things that made you sad, the things that made you happy and anything else you want to express. Talking about what is in your head helps to let the mind know that it is okay to let these thoughts go because they are acknowledged and dealt with.
