At times it can seem like you have no time. You need to go to class, do your homework, work, hang out with your friends... it seems hard to find enough hours in the day to make it all happen. Learning to manage your time well will make a huge difference in your ability to juggle multiple responsibilities. Check out the resources and activities below to get some of your time back!
Feeling overwhelmed? Forgetting when assignments are due? Finding it hard to stay focused on one thing? You may need to get organized!
It's extremely common to find your old methods of organization aren't working in your new environment. Learning new strategies and creating new methods of organization will help you stay on top of assignments, know where important items are located, and free up some brain space for other (more important!) information.
