Hey you. Yes, you with the face. I see you there. Sitting around, watching cat videos. Or scrolling through Facebook (which may include more cat videos). Either way, you're being very lazy and unproductive. Yet you’re probably stressed out because you have a million things to do right now. Let’s name some of them.
1. Homework
We always have homework to do. But you don’t want to procrastinate too much, or else you’ll be left feeling exhausted and even more stressed out.
2. Applying for internships
Internships are important. How many applications have you gotten in so far? Unless you’ve already landed one, you might want to get a move on that.
3. Putting together your reel/portfolio
It may seem like a long time before you need to make one (unless you’re a graduating senior), but it’ll creep up on you fast.
4. Call mom
She’s probably called you over a dozen times throughout the week. Just get it out of the way so you can get back to work.
5. Cleaning
Is it your week to clean the apartment? This could be the only time you have this week to do it. You don’t want your roommates getting mad at you.
6. Making travel arrangements
Are you planning to go on vacation during the summer? Be sure to book your flight and hotel now, before things get pricey later on.
7. Planning your next project
Maybe you’re looking to write your next script or shoot a new promo – whatever it is, take some time to outline it and flesh out the details.
8. Working out
It only takes an hour a day. Exercise helps the body release endorphins, which make you feel happier. So go and hit the gym before it gets crowded.
9. Grocery shopping
Even if it’s a quick run for the basics, just go and get it done before you run out of food and start craving cheese puffs.
10. Catching up on your favorite show
You still need time to relax. Plus, you don’t want to fall too far behind. Watch that one episode before you’re stuck binge-watching half a season.
11. Sleeping
Only if you really have nothing else to do (after you’ve done everything else on this list), catching up on sleep will help you feel more energized going into the next busy week.
Out of everything else there is in the world, these are the main things you should be doing right now.
Just not all at once.
