As the semester is winding down, we are being bombarded with exams, papers, quizzes, tests, and etc. We have to plan in more study time. Time management is key to be successful. Now, let's be honest, we all know how to manage our time. It's the execution of it that is the problem, which some of seem to be lacking in--- I'm one of those people.
But, my blog isn't about time management.
It's about stress and how I deal with it.
DISCLAIMER: I don't get stressed that easily or at least I tell myself I'm not stressed.
If it's school related stress, I write a list of what NEEDS to be done. Then I break up that list so it seems less stressful. Then tackle the different lists one by one. But before I do that, I have to calm my nerves. To do so, I watch a funny youtube video. (example: this a video my friend sent me--->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBOV8WzH-oY&sns=em) then after that, I get my ipod or listen to pandora while doing work to avoid being stressed.
OR
I end up procrastinating for hours, then within the last few hours I do the assignment and work under pressure--which for some classes its easier for me to do.
Family related stress. Well, to be honest, I don't get that stressed with my family with the exception of my sister. With my family, I try to be rational, calm, and collected. If my any one gets mad at me in my family, I don't get worked up, I try to understand why they are mad--maybe they are having a bad day. So, I let them vent, then try to rationally and calmly talk to them--that usually works out. My sister on the other hand, she stresses me out with her dating life-- not that it s bad, but she keeps going back to the person that has hurt her the most and that isn't good for her. But, I've tried my best to help her out, so there's not much I can do after a year-- I just have to let it go.
Friend related stress. I'm usually really calm and not stressed with friends. Former friends however, make me a little nervous because I tend to believe that everything that happened is my fault. And, when I do have that built up stress, I go exercise to relieve steam.
How do you guys deal with stress????

Well I kinda don't know how I deal with stress, I just do. I think positively and also think about only one thing at a time. I try not to get ahead of myself. I just looks towards the future and how great it will be after everything is done.
ReplyDeleteProcrastination sucks but we all do it and somehow get away with it.
Family and friends don't stress me out that much, well...usually don't.
