Set your deadline prior to the actual assignment deadline.

Adopt a method of organizing your week and stick to it!
- MULTITASKING IS GOOD
Learn to multitask, but do not let multitasking lead to task overload.
- FIND YOUR PRODUCTIVE TIME
Are you a morning person or an evening person?
- MINIMIZE STRESS
If you are stressed, you cannot effectively manage your time. Do not pile on stressful activities without first working in non-stress activities such as exercise, meditation, and most importantly sleep!
- SLEEP
The major cause of stress for most of us is lack of sleep!
- LEARN TO SAY NO
Do not take on too many obligations.
- REDUCE THE INTRUSION OF TECHNOLOGY
Technology is a useful tool if you do not let it intrude on your productive time. Make technology work for you, not against you!
