Hi everyone! Welcome back to my blog! Today, I’m going to be sharing my tips for how to balance your busy lifestyle. Whether you’re in high school, college, or a young professional, we all have so much to do and I’m here to give you some tips on how to keep it all together!
My first tip is to utilize your planner. I’ve used a planner ever since my senior year of high school and it’s helped me immensely! In college, you have a lot more free time than in high school, so my planner use really picked up once I got to JMU. A planner is really helpful for remembering class assignments and lunch dates that might slip your mind if they’re scheduled a few weeks out. I have an entire post dedicated to setting up and using a planner, so check out that post here to read all about it!
My next tip is to take things one step at a time. I’m the kind of person who will get very overwhelmed if assignments and responsibilities start piling up and, over the past few years, I’ve had to constantly remind myself that everything will get done if I just focus and take my time. When you rush through things, you run the risk of having to do it all over again, so it’s better to just do it to the best of your ability the first time around.
My final tip is to take time to do the things that make you happy. When you’re insanely busy with school work or your job or other responsibilities, it might seem really immature to set those things aside and take a walk on the beach or go to the mall for an hour or two but your mind needs that. At the company I intern with, the creative director is always telling me to take a break and give my mind a rest. It’s important to let your body relax so your creative energy can build back up again. Taking time for yourself will make everything you do after have more pep!
Those are all my tips for maintaining a busy lifestyle! If you use any of my advice, post a photo on Instagram and tag me @allisantmyer! See you next week!
