Hey Everyone,
I’m so sorry for
the time it has taken me to upload a new post, and my reason for this is sort
of explained within this title. Time. It doesn’t matter how much you plan,
there is just never enough of it, ever.
I wanted to write
this post, as my time management is something that I have been really
struggling with recently, particularly over the last couple of weeks. This is
because of various things, such as University, lectures, seminars and out of
hour’s projects; as well as an increase in my work schedule due to Christmas. This
post stemmed from a conversation I had within my TA group at Uni, as I
expressed my own personal worries about finding enough time, and what really
amazed me was that I was by no means alone in how I felt, many other girls
nodded in agreement.
Now this post isn’t
about me feeling sorry for myself; No, its about me wanting to tell all of you
that feel stressed and frankly sometimes a little overwhelmed with regards to
time, that you are not alone and that, yes, it is very much okay to have a
little cry to your Mum on the phone and wish that you had 5 minutes to yourself
to have a nap.
Over the past few
weeks, I’ve learnt that it’s okay to feel a little lost and that dealing with
time management is a learning curve, that is individual to us all; but what I
did want to do was share a few of my top tips on how to cope with juggling your
time;

1.
BREATHE – seriously just take 5 minutes, make yourself a cup of tea, hot
chocolate or whatever you fancy and take sometime for yourself.
2. Ring
a family member or a friend, most of the time it’s such a reassurance to hear a
friendly voice and have a chat.
3. Make
a weekly schedule, fill in the times that you have taken up with work and
university, and from there slot in all the other jobs that you need to
accomplish.
4. Set
yourself goals, by this I mean, say to yourself by the end of this week I will
have wrote two blog posts and read 3 chapters of my book. (The key to this is
making sure that they are reasonable and accomplishable goals- don’t overwork
yourself!)
5. Finally,
my best advice would be to ensure that you eat regularly and have plenty of
sleep, nobody can function well on an empty stomach and three hours sleep.
Hopefully you find
a least one of these tips useful if ever you feel overwhelmed, and just remember,
you will not be alone, many other people will feel the same way you do.
