I don't know where to start with my workload...?

So, it's getting closer to the end of the uni year, and I'm getting bogged down with work. I have two essays due this coming week, one on Wednesday and the second on Thursday and I haven't started either. I also have another assignment to hand in on Monday, a Spanish piece to prepare for Friday and an oral examination to prepare for, which is the week after next. My exams start in April, so I also have to get studying for the written examinations. I know what I have to do, but it just seems like so much that I don't know where to start, which makes it difficult to motivate myself. I usually end up leaving things to the last minute and getting unbelievably stressed, but I want to try and minimise it. Any help is appreciated on how I can sort out my workload and motivate myself t get started.

Thanks

xx

    Do not panic.

    Make a time table for the time you have and what you have to do when.ie. plan what time you have left and prioritise your work.

    The first piece of work will be the most difficult. Stick at it within the time limit you have set yourself.

    When completed give yourself a small reward.(a Mars bar, half an hour watching 'Corrie' or what ever) The others pieces will become easier.

    Make yourself a list, and prioritize the things you have to do and make deadlines for each thing to get done. And do each thing one at a time, and cross them off the list once you completed them. And you can reward yourself with a break for everything you cross off and don't let yourself have a reward until you have completed each task. That way it will motivate you to finish things. Good luck. You can do it!
