Stress is an incessant, universal issue. Everyone gets it. Especially in times of the year when we can be overwhelmed, such as the last couple weeks of school, it can even seem hard to breathe.
However, there are ways of coping with it.
Mine is simply to make a list. I make a list of everything I have to do, and keep it at the ready. I’m not quite sure why, but this does wonders for handling stress. Maybe it’s due to a visual representation of all the work, showing your brain that there are a finite number of things that can be checked off one by one and then you will be done. Who knows. But when you can strike something off the list, it’s so satisfying and then you’re jonesing to finish the next thing. Maybe it’s due to allowing your brain to take one one thing at a time and chisel down the work. Who knows. But I know, the list works.
yeah - when i'm overwhelmed the list is an amazing tool. if don't then i multitask my way into getting nothing done
