Poor work and priorities organization is yet another scourge for many young men and women living and studying on campuses. They are on their own now – no teachers, parents, or relatives are going to tell them what, how, and when to do. Because of the lack of experience, students cannot figure out what to pay attention to, and what is not urgent at the moment; how to organize their routine; how to spend less time doing mundane tasks; how to keep a balance between private and academic life, and so on. This causes frustration, poor performance, and stress. Effective ways to help it might be keeping records on what and how you do. After you see how much time this or that activity takes, you can start planning (IFR).
Being young is not only fun, but also stressful, especially when you are a college student. New social challenges combined with the absence of a habitual support network (like family or old friends), poor and unhealthy lifestyle, and the lack of organization, often cause frustration and stress in students. The stereotype that youth is the greatest time in one’s life might simply be a fallacy.
