Ever feel like college life is a never-ending to-do list? Here's how you can tame your schedule and still have time for a coffee break with friends:

1. Prioritize Smartly: Start your week by sorting tasks in your digital calendar. What’s due soonest and matters most? Tackle those first. It’s like choosing the right gear before a bike race—it makes the ride smoother.

2. Small Goals, Big Gains: Break down those beastly projects into mini-tasks. It’s less daunting and seriously satisfying to tick them off your list.

3. Tech to the Rescue: Got a smartphone? Turn it into your productivity pal with apps like Forest, which rewards you with cute trees for staying focused. Who said you can’t have fun while being productive?

4. Ask for Help: Sometimes, it’s okay to pass the baton. Overwhelmed with writing tasks? MyCourseHelp can lend a hand, so you don’t have to miss out on real-life experiences.

5. Remember Your ‘Me Time’: All work and no play? That’s a no-go. Make sure you carve out time for yourself—your brain deserves a break!

6. Reflect Often: End your week with a quick reflection. What worked? What didn’t? Adjust as you go, and remember, flexibility is key to conquering chaos.
