How to Manage Your Time

A step in the right direction for getting yourself moving

How to Manage Your Time
youtube

Do you feel like you've got so much to do but not enough time? I've felt the same way lately. It's like I see a massive to-do list but there's not enough time in the day to do what I want to do. If you pile too much on your plate and can't take it all in at once you end up excessively stressed and tired out and then you get less and less done.

I've taken up bullet journaling, which will probably be an article on its own at a later time, and realized that I have a lot I'd like to do within my day but no clue how to make the time. First, you've gotta get a basic routine down. You know, wake up, brush teeth, get dressed, the works. After a while of repeating that routine everyday it becomes easier to add tasks onto your plate. Wash the laundry, read, write, workout, pick up the house, anything that you'd like.

When you feel like it's not working, note the distractions that are keeping you away from what you want to do. Staying on Facebook for an hour versus folding your laundry is something I have a problem with. Once you recognize when you're getting side tracked then you can refocus yourself and try to keep up with your list.

Hopefully this helps, there'll be more on the bullet journal system I use in a later article (there is a lot that goes along with it).

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
