ith only 24 hours in a day, it seems like I can never get enough done. In the morning when I wake up, I always plan out my day with my classes, tennis practices, meetings, studying, and other errands that I have to complete that day. However, it never goes according to plan! At the end of the day I tend to find myself with incomplete to do’s and added time pressure to get things done. This is why time management is so important.

Finally, I am already pretty good about making to do lists, however I need to make sure I am really finishing these on time to reduce stress and time pressure. I plan to always complete my to do list for the day for now on and not leave tasks for the next day. I believe all
