How To Keep School in Balance and Manage Stress Level?

There is a very simple solution to that. It's a solution which if you will use it can organize your entire life and keep you on track.

First take out a sheet of paper and a pencil. Then, write down the 10 most important things you need to do, starting tomorrow. Don't number them just write them all down (if you end up with more than ten, that's ok as long as they are among the most important thing you need to do in order to succeed in school.

When you are finished, number them in the order of their importance to you and your success as far as school is concerned.

Then, fold the paper and put it in your pocket and forget about it until tomorrow. Get a good nights sleep.

In the morning, take out the paper and look at if you can, and you have time before you have to leave for school, start working on the number one task. Don't look at the rest of them only concentrate on the number one task. You'll be working on the most important one so, the others can wait. If you can, stay with it until you have completed it. Then start on number two. Throughout the day, there will be necessary interruptions and there will be other tasks assigned that you will also have to add to your list. Deal with the interruptions as they occur and write the new tasks to your list but, do not number them. After school, take just a short break (no more than a half hour). Relax. Get yourself a snack. Then, get out your list and renumber it including today's new tasks again in their order of importance. Then, begin working on the current task if you have not yet completed it. Once you complete it, start on number two, then number three etc. Don't worry if you only finish a few of them. You will be working on the most important ones. Understand this! You are never given more to do than you are capable of doing. That is the way the world works. What most people do, is to spend time thinking about what they should be doing rather than actually doing it and that just causes them to become tired thinking about all that work that needs to be done and before they not it they're exhausted and it's time to go to bed. Don't let that happen to you. Get busy and complete every task on your list. Then, make a new list for tomorrow and take a break. Do music, it's your free time. Everything else is done! Then, get good nights rest. In the morning, take out your list, and if you can immediately start working on the most important thing. When I was in high school, I took very little work home because I found that I could do most of it in school. So, while you are at school, if there is time when you do not have to be listening to a lecture, perhaps at the end of a self study or reading period or following a quiz or test after you have turned in your paper, get out your list and start working on the current item at hand. At lunch, you can be completing something you are working on rather than making small talk about how bad school is with your friends. If you continually focus on what needs to be done now and then do it now you will have what needs to be done finished before you know it and the rest of the day belongs to you and your music. Self-discipline is the answer to your problem. Control your thought and emotions and get the most important things on your list completed and you'll have more time that you need to do what needs to be done.
