Less Stress

Now that term has properly started and I've had, lets be honest, a pretty stressful week I started coming up with a list of things to do to try and make my life less stressful and more enjoyable. I usually do this but I don't every tell anyone or write them down so I'm never accountable for them but now I am and I can be. So here goes (they're in no particular order):

  • Learn how to say "no" to people.
  • Use my diary.
  • Don't dwell on the past or the future; live in the present.
  • Do things well in advance of when they need to be done.
  • Be happy with what I achieve.
  • But still strive to do better.
  • Remember uni isn't all about getting a degree; don't feel guilty for having fun!
  • Most people won't judge you over small things.
  • Go to and pay attention in every lecture.
  • Be tidy.
  • Don't stay up until stupid o'clock procrastinating (though OK for work if necessary).
And finally the most important one:
  • Remember: I CAN DO IT
So that's my list. Inevitably I will fail on all of them at some point in the year but now I've got a starting point so I can have a much more successful year than last!
