[QUOTE="AvniD, post: 89295, member: 17155"] Hi [USER=9213]@Kareena[/USER] ! I am sorry to hear that you've been struggling. I am sharing some things that work for me when I'm struggling in busy periods- [LIST] [*][I]Scheduling in advance, but leaving room for changes[/I]- I have daily, weekly and monthly priorities that I pencil into my planner. It helps me stay on track and anticipate how I will need to mould my schedule to get things done. But sometimes I'm not able to do things for when I've planned them and have to shift them to a later date- I try not to get disappointed when I have to move stuff around and remind myself that I will get to them later when/if I have the capacity. [*][I]Prioritising[/I]- there are some days that I just cannot do everything I want. I have to accept this and prioritise what matters the most at any given moment and try to complete that task with my best effort. [*][I]Setting boundaries[/I]- saying 'no' to things that I do not have the capacity to attend to/ complete is something I am still learning 😅 But it's the only way to prioritise and schedule effectively and in a manner that actually allows you to complete the tasks you're setting for yourself satisfactorily. [*][I]Showing kindness[/I]- when I was making applications, there were days that I missed deadlines and I wish I was kinder to myself when that happened. It's important to take time out for yourself and talk to your support system if this happens to remind yourself that there is only so much you can achieve on any given day and that there will be other deadlines and firms you can apply to later. [*][I]Taking breaks[/I]- I cannot emphasise this enough. If you're feeling burnt out, please do take a break to recuperate and energise yourself. Knowing when you need a take a break and need time to yourself is a big part of setting boundaries and is also necessary to enable yourself to balance a schedule that is as busy as yours. [/LIST] I really hope this helps. You've got this! All the best, Avni [/QUOTE]
