Ways to Manage Time and Stress

Time and Stress Management Tips

There are only 24 hours each day

Try to sleep at least 8 hours each day

Understand that stress exists in our day

Create a to-do list each night for the next day before you go to sleep

Try different things to deal with the pressures of every day life, such as listening to music, exercising, eating and socializing with friends, and deep breathing

Try to eat nutritious food, build a colorful plate, and get a variety of foods, eat in moderation

Smile one time each hour, laugh three times a day - at least

Do the best you can

Eliminate negative self-talk, use positive self talk as much as you can

Allow yourself time for privacy each day - even for a few minutes

Try to organize your room, workspace, closet, and bag. Have what you need and the day will go smoother

Waiting can be frustrating. Be prepared with something in your bag to do, such as schoolwork to do, a book to read, music to listen to, nail polish for your nails

Constantly reward yourself for all of the things you accomplish

Enjoy yourself
