How I actually use my time compared to how I should spend it is totally different. Most of my time is spent studying and attending class. I don’t really have a moment to breathe or successfully nap between classes. Some of my biggest challenges will be staying focused, having enough time to complete a task, and exhaustion. I can never seem to stay focus. My mind is always running all day, everyday in a million directions. Which shortens the time I have to complete things. Making me exhausted and frustrated that I don’t have the time. In the future, I hope to correct this by staying focus and strategically planning my every move for that day. So I don’t get deterred from the past I am supposed to be on. To avoid procrastination I could take breaks in between long study hours or assignments. To prevent brain overload. If I could highlight all my priorities such as work, school, assignments, and extra curricular activities. Then making available time for them to be done shouldn’t be that much of a hassle.
