The time management sessions really helped me after Christmas; the workload was large with a deadline approaching - this is when I feel most pressure.
The advice was to plan each day by dividing the hours/ minutes up into things I need to do. These included all domestic and social duties as well as academic ones.
Writing down what I had to complete actually helped a lot, this was because it motivated me to complete work, and everything else too. I learned to prioritize jobs and also plan out when would be best to complete specific tasks.
This approach meant that I was in control over what I was doing, and therefore reduced stress, because I knew that I could get more done if I kept calm, and didn't let the workload daunt me/ put me off working.
Also, it made me realize that it's good to have a life too; stressing about work isn't good, and it's healthy to leave the house, see friends etc. Breaks from work are needed to stay sane, for sure!
