This week the main focus has been on relearning the art of
multi-tasking. Studying at university level requires me to do many things at
one time. There are lectures, tutorials
and assignments. And I have to pay attention to all of them. This constant
demand for attention has lead me into conflict with the rest of my life. My stress
levels have increased. The worst thing is I have been learning all about
arousal and the impact that it has, however, knowing and doing are two
different things.
In order to improve
my current situation I have been planning ahead. In March I have four
assessment all around the same time. So to help myself feel less stressed, when the deadline comes, I am working on a small bit of each one. Chucking
things up so they become manageable has really helped me not to worry about
meeting deadlines. I am using my student
planner to record my tasks for each week.
In order to improve my student life balance, I am trying to
remember to do the things that I enjoy and I am afraid to say this week’s episode
of Eastenders “who killed Lucy” has kept me entertained. I also spent time with
my grandchildren at the weekend. It was lovely to see them and they always
bring a smile to my face, even if it leaves me exhausted.
So keys messages this week
- Pay attention to how you are feeling
- Balance out your life as a student
- Plan, plan, plan and Do

This week no music, but a short video on time management for
students. Have a great week.
