ADJUST YOUR SCHEDULE EVERY DAY
| Write out a daily schedule at the beginning of each day. Include uncompleted tasks from the previous day as well as new tasks. | This should only take a few minutes because you can use your weekly schedule to create it quickly. Use an index card or a daily planner. Carry your schedule with you so you can refer to it as needed and cross items off once they are completed. This last step provides a sense of accomplishment. |
| As you write out your daily schedule, assess your priorities. | Some activities must be done on a particular day while others may be optional for that day. You can use the A, B, C system of prioritizing your tasks. A's must be done that day and C's are optional. B's are important but not as important as A's. Try to accomplish all your A tasks before moving on to the B tasks and finally the C tasks. This can reduce your stress level. |
