5 Steps to Get Back on Track

Monday I posted about this semester being much more chaotic than fall. So today I decided to talk about  how I'm using spring break to get back on track.

For starters is bringing back the planner. At this point of the semester I have only used my planner to write in due dates and big events when in the fall everything goes in the planner. My first step to getting back on track is to get my planner back on track.

My next step is to go over what my goals were in January and reevaluate them to accommodate how the semester has been going. Hopefully this will help me get back into what I need to do.

Step three, Clean! Oh my goodness are my work spaces a mess! I can't even get to my desk in my studio. I have three full days off this week and while I slept most of Monday, cleaning is my top priority.

Step four, Get caught up with school work. This is important I know I have a few things that’s due when I get back to school next week so completing those as well as some other things I know is coming up is a must.

After that is trying to stick to a set schedule, I know to make a habit of something you need to do it continuously for so many days so that’s what I need to do I need to make a habit of sitting down and following my schedule.

I hope this has helped anyone who is in the same boat as I am. I know sitting down a writing this has got me feeling much better about getting things back on track I hope it works

Spring Semester Horror

I've been seeing a lot lately that the spring semester is a lot worse than the fall semester. It's been a conversation that I've had with a couple different people and I must say it is true. For what ever reason as soon as you hit the spring semester everything goes haywire and nothing happens the way you planed it. I've though a lot on why this is and can only figure it's because the break in between semesters is so much sorter for the spring. That and it feels as though the spring semester is shorter than the fall. But what ever the reason is we still get super stressed out in the spring.

Personally I've been spiraling out of control. It's super upsetting to make a detailed goals list and hope that you can actually do it this semester, then classes become very overwhelming so you're weeks behind in your planning. It seems to be my trend, plan to do a bunch of things, start them, semester gets picked up, then drop all the planning for trying to keep my head above water. At least I can say I'm passing my classes, which in the grand scheme of things is the important part right.

It's now spring break at my school and I'm going to use this time to try to regroup with everything and maybe get back on track with all the things that I wanted to do this year. I'm also hoping this new work schedule helps me with this.
