HOW TO MANAGE A HEAVY SCHEDULE WITH MINIMUM STRESS

             I think I am entitled to say that I have a very hectic schedule. I know there are people who probably have much more difficult schedules to manage,but mine is pretty crazy. I kinda love it though because it keeps life interesting. Overtime I have learned some tips and tricks to manage a heavy schedule with  minimum stress.
              Before I start I would like to say that I am not the kind of person who stresses out, so you might still be stressful with this ,but probably not. Also just to give you insight on my hectic schedule, let's just say that for 2 days this school week I will be leaving for school at 6:30 am and not getting home til 9:00 pm, soooooo yeah.

Tip #1: Plan Ahead
I cannot even begin to say how important this tip is. This week I knew that I was not going to be getting home until 9 pm on Thursday and Friday, and normally this is when I go to sleep, so I planned ahead. Luckily, a few of my teachers give us our homework for the whole week on Monday, so I planned ahead and got this done early so I would not have to work on it later in the week, and save that time for other homework, and studying. This is so important, and on extremely hectic weeks I completely make a schedule of my assignments and when I am going to do them!

Tip #2: Do not waste ANY time
This tip is also very important. If you have any down time at school, do your homework so you do not have to at home, or late at night. If you have a study, or time before class starts in the morning, go to the library. Also do your homework right when you get home, so you can finish it and then sleep, and trust me getting a good nights sleep can legitimately make or break your grades at school. Wasting even 5 minutes watching a video, will take away 5 minutes that you could be sleeping later on, which can lead to 2 more points on that big test tomorrow. Also if you are crazy busy skip your makeup/hair in the morning and do a little bit of work.

Tip #3: Take productive breaks
Obviously if you have hours of work to do, you are going to take a break. However, do not let this break be for something unproductive like napping, or watching a YouTube video. Instead, take this break to do something that you need to do anyways, but that is more mindless than work. For instance, when I have a lot of homework I like to take a break and write some of a blog post, or shower, or eat dinner.

Trust me, when you plan ahead and know how you are going to manage your work, that alone can minimize your stress completely. Something that is extremely stressful, is feeling like you don't have time to do something, or that you don't know how you are going to do everything you have to. So plan ahead.

Thanks for reading!

Love,
Elizabeth

Dual Action Moisturizer (Which is better? On Brand Or OffBrand? #2)(Blogmas 2016 #4)

      A post that I am very proud of, and that many of you wonderful readers really seemed to enjoy, was my Which Is Better? On Brand, or Off Brand Beauty Blender Edition . I decided to make it a little series because I realize that I love a good dupe, and I want you to join in my journey to great dupes! So welcome to another On-Brand or Off-Brand post!        I think every person can agree that moisturizer is something that is a necessity in a skincare routine, especially in this upcoming winter season! I know in the winter I get very dry skin, and I know that moisturizer can get quite expensive, so I thought I would try out a store brand moisturizer, and compare it to a Clean and Clear moisturizer that I already knew I loved.      These are the two moisturizers that I will be comparing in this post! The clean and clear advantage dual action moisturizer (I know this one is slightly different but I have used both!), and the Walmart...

Life Is Happening RIGHT NOW

           One thing that I have really discovered about myself within the past year is that I am way too focused on the future. I often find myself planning my future down to the last detail, and daydreaming.               But let me tell you something. This does not get you anywhere. I realized that I was legitimately spending my life just thinking about a life I dreamed of and planning my future in my mind. However, I soon came to realize that life is happening right now. I am living a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing life now, and if I keep daydreaming excessively I will be living more in my fantasy than in my reality. Though this may sound great, reality is truly wonderful.                I soon began to realize, 'oh dang, I must stop daydreaming'. So that is what I did. I prayed, and I worked hard to stop my daydreaming tendencies. Now I have severely cut down the amount of t...

How I Have Deepened My Faith

            A few months ago God truly found me. I knew I wanted to start a relationship with God and with Jesus,but I did not how to begin this faithful journey in my life. However, here I am a few months later and I feel more spiritual than ever. I know I still have a lot to learn,but you always do when it comes to Christ. Here are my tips for starting a relationship with Christ. 1. Pray This is so simple ,but so true. I pray so much. I pray every morning when I wake up to thank God for a safe night. I pray when I am aware I have sinned. I pray before I, or my family eats. I pray before I go to bed. I pray a lot in between. Praying does not have to be a set prayer, you can legitimately just talk to God. It takes a little bit of getting used to, but you get the hang of it as you practice. Remember God knows that you are new to this, and he knows that you are trying and he will help you to learn to pray better. Remember, do not just pray for things, pr...
