How to get Organised for a Stress-Free Semester

There will always be a variety of commitments competing for your attention. That' whys it's vital to figure out a schedule that works for you.

Staying organised is the best way to avoid stress and anxiety, especially as your schedule gets progressively hard-pressed. While scheduling may seem like another addition to your to-do list, it benefits you to maintain a clear mental state by focusing on individual tasks instead of being overwhelmed. Just making a plan to get them done can save you from study anxiety.

Even from the first few weeks, the traps of busy life may start to feel consuming, with uni studies, work commitments and social life all competing to be your #1 priority.
