TUTORIAL CENTER

STRESS RELIEVER:

Make a “To Do” list for good time management
Carry a hand-size tablet of paper, 3x5 card or your PDA for “on the go” reminders.

Each evening:

1. Write down daily tasks or accomplishments needed to be done.
2. Include routine chores that may be “nagging you.”
3. Write down promises made to other people (i.e. to get a phone number or photocopy lecture notes).
4. List laundry, shopping, and other errands that need to be accomplished.
5. Once a task is accomplished, mark it off your list.
6. Discard the piece of paper or 3x5 card as soon as you are done, or delete items from your PDA.

Working from a daily list will help you remember to do things, and give you a sense of accomplishment each day.
