Darmstadt - 80

I can now afford to lose a few days. Or afford to do more things in the same day.

Secret: 1. Write a list of things that you need to do.

Everything. Even the homework you've been putting off, chores that you hate doing, you will need to do them one day, and things you don't want to do.

2. I'm pretty sure most of these things have a deadline, so write down a deadline next to those tasks. Don't write deadlines that you set yourselves, write the days they actually occur.  As for things with no deadline, we'll leave them blank.

3. Write down the activities that will occur this week, and things that will happen. Like if you have a class on Wednesday and homework will be issued, write that down, as well as when the next class will occur.

Does it look too much for you? That's because you're still looking at time wasters.

4. Identify the activities that eat up your time unknowingly. Even that means watching Late Night Jimmy Fallon snippets or playing Triple Town, tell yourself you need a break. After, there is a limit to the bags of chips you can eat.

After taking a break, things that you enjoy doing will seem more enjoyable. If you don't like anything, that would be a different story entirely.

5. Stagger large tasks. If you have 5 days to write a report, aim to finish a portion of it at the end of every day. If it takes you more than 3 hours to get it over and done, stop and do a small task that you can complete, instead of continue taking a stab at it. After you're done with your small task, continue with your large one.

6. Make time for your friends and yourself. This includes planning to meet them for a meal outside or going a round in town, write it down in the schedule!

7. work through the procedure for the tasks. How are you going to do each task? Do you know how or what to do?

8. Group similiar tasks together. For instance if you need to buy milk and then get some cash on your cell, you can head to the supermarket for the milk and cell credit. Unless the things that you need to get are from a special place, you can get most of the things needed in a supermarket. A mistake I used to make was to make repeated trips to town for a bunch of imposingly small things, which I could have made all the errands in one trip.

9. Work on it, No dilly-dallying, And no one will look at what you're wearing to clean your room, unless he is a pervert or he has a crush and doesn't know how to tell you yet,

10. Strike out on the task when you're done. Nothing feels better than having to strike out something and move on to the next task.

Cheers and I now have to continue doing whatever I need to do.
