I taught a Freshman seminar class for many years. The best advice I can give you is to use a day planner. The key is: time management, time management, time management.

I'm an academic advisor and this is one of the topics that I speak to my students about. You need to understand time management skills. Planners are great for that, as are wall calendars for the daily visual reminder of due dates.

I agree. Be sure and schedule EVERYTHING: sleep, meals, exercise, work, classes, homework, exams, assignments, study time, project milestones, fun, social time, church/spiritual practice, family obligations, etc., etc., etc.

I'm 42 and slowly chipping away at my MSN. Taking a break now until after surgery. Congratulations. It's easier now that I know my girls are old enough to do their own laundry or make something to eat if I'm too busy.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
