During week 6 of this semester I learned
how useful prioritizing tasks my tasks are. This semester has seemed to be
a lot more work than I have ever had. This semester marks the first semester of
my senior year, which is too crazy to even think about.
For me, it is important to remember that even when I have a busy
week and I feel like I am drowning, a simple "To Do" list can help
organize my life and make me feel so much better. Normally I make lists every
week with what I need to get accomplished every day of the week, but during
week 6 it was important that I got everything for the week and weekend
completed by Thursday.
On Thursday I had a friend coming in town from six hours away to
spend the weekend with me. I knew I was going to be stressed out if I had to
think about my homework I was not doing of the homework I needed to get done
before week 7. Luckily, I know how to prioritize my work and I was able to
finish everything before Thursday night!
Ever since I was in my senior year of high school I learned how
important the skill of knowing how to prioritize is. During my senior year of
high school, I let stress consume me. It is crazy how much stress can affect
your body. I was having a really bad week at the end of October in 2014 and one
morning I woke up and half of my face was paralyzed and throughout the next 24
hours the other half of my face became paralyzed too.
It turned out that I had something called Bell's Palsy, which is
triggered by stress. For three months my bilateral Bell's Palsy changed the way
I lived. I couldn't blink, taste or eat or drink without having to hold my
mouth closed. Luckily I have no lasting effects.
Today, I try to live my life as stress free as possible and have
learned the importance of balancing personal life and work/school life.
