It's safe to say that school is in full swing, and life has never been busier. My only solution to trying to juggle all the hustle and bustle is by making a master to-do list (it is color coded and everything). However, it never fails that I forget a few important things each time I update my list. If you are like me, I took some time to write down a few of these top priorities that we often leave out of our to-dos.
TO-DO
1. Make to-do list
Wow, look at that! You already finished one thing. Cross that one off with pride!
2. Take a deep breath.
It looks overwhelming, but there is nothing on this list that is going to make or break your happiness. Take it one step at a time.
3. Spend time with Jesus.
Yes, studying for your nutrition test is important, but our whole motivation should come from The Word and God's promises. Don't forget to meditate on those promises, and pray when the day gets overwhelming.
4. Do your homework.
Seriously, just get it done now.
5. Check your email.
Don't just keep ignoring them. Tackle your inbox one annoying email after the other, and pretty soon you'll be all caught up.
6. Eat some dinner.
Go home and make yourself a nice dinner (even if it is just Ramen). You deserve at least thirty minutes of nothing but delicious carbohydrates each day.
7. Call your momma.
There is nothing that a phone call with mom can't fix. It seriously will put the two of you in such a great mood!
8. Go to the drugstore and get vitamins.
It's cold and flu season. Take care of yourself! And once you buy them, actually take them.
9. Text your Little and make lunch plans.
Odds are they're probably just as stressed as you. Go grab a coffee and catch up!
10. Get some sleep.
Call it quits for the night at one of your many pomping parties and actually get some shut eye. It will pay off tomorrow!
11. Don't worry about the things that go wrong.
Odds are, everything won't turn out 100% right. Don't get discouraged. Plan ahead, recoop, and do better next time.
12. Shower!!!
Dry shampoo can only help for a few days...
13. Listen to your favorite song on your way to work.
8:00 a.m. comes WAY too soon, but there's nothing that Closer by The Chainsmokers can't fix
14. Clean your dorm.
Stop piling everything on your desk and then moving it to your bed and then moving it back to your desk. Take some time to clean up and maybe even burn a new Scentsy (preferably pumpkin spice). It will make you feel better knowing that your space is tidy!
15. Enjoy the moment!
Don't get too overwhelmed and consumed with the contents of this list. Don't look at it for a few hours if you have to. Enjoy the things and people around you, and always remember that it's just a temporary list.
