Try to finish your larger tasks before smaller ones and your life will be less hectic. Organizing your life is important because it will lead to better grades and hopefully happiness. Applying prioritization to our lives can help you complete all tasks, without stress. This will help keep your life in balance and keep you out of trouble. Using a Planner is a good way to organize your life. It helps you keep your big rocks before your Pebbles. There are 4 time Quadrants, Which one do you spend your time in? Procrastinator, puts things off until the last minute and doesn't turn work in, Not a good place to be. Prioritizer, Puts the most important things first and turns things in on time, This is a very good Quadrant to be in! Yes-Man, says yes to everyone and gives into peer pressure, Again not the best place to be. And finally the Slacker, Never does anything and wonders why they fail, Worst place to be in.
