Falling Behind?

We are now at that point in the semester where you may feel overwhelmed or behind. Maybe you missed a couple of assignments or you are behind in your lecture videos. I have the perfect formula that I use whenever I feel behind. 

For starters, I assess the damage, I see how much I really have to get done and see what else I need to do to prevent falling farther behind. Once I make the list of everything that I need to do, I then plan out my week and look for extra pockets of time to do each of the things that I have left. After that, I schedule my days down to the half hour to ensure that I will have enough time needed to complete my late work. After that all I do is complete it and catch up!

One good way to prevent yourself from ever falling behind is to plan out your weeks in advance, and really start your semester on a good note. By planning ahead for the semester you will set yourself up for success. Even when I try my absolute hardest to make my semester good and to not fall behind, life happens, especially COVID. 

Remember Monarchs, it is never too late to try, try again. Seek help, schedule your time, and make sure that you can prepare better and learn from what does and doesn’t work for you. Reign On!
