Schedule

 

When you set your priorities you will be facing another obstacle… Scheduling everything. Open your weekly calendar and list everything you have on any given day of the week. This should give you a clearer picture of what you can do, based on the time available. Lectures, time to study and time to wind down should be complimented with your sport activities, in a balanced way.
