“God will never give you anything you can’t handle, so don’t stress.”(Kelly Clarkson)

The students of today face far more stress than ever before and that is most due to the intense competition and numerous challenges they face. And things get more difficult for them when they are unable to organise their work and priorities. Poor time management and ambiguity in achieving goals have adverse effects on students.

An unorganised area that is left in the same condition will become cluttered with trash over time. Life also becomes messy if you are not organised. Many students find it hard to be organised. This affects their studies and hinders their progress.

Sometimes you want to do everything but it becomes very hard to do that because you did not organise your time. When you don’t make a schedule of when to study and when to play, chances are that you will often miss out on one of them. And this can lead to stress and worry that will only add up to your problems and make you less efficient.

Most people claim to understand the importance of goal setting in order to attain a better life, but in fact, approximately 80 per cent of people never set goals for themselves. This is especially prevalent among people who are not organised; ultimately they fail to achieve their goal.

To sum it up, students must try to organise their daily routine, whether they are having exams and tests or not. Keep your stuff in its place, use your time wisely and you will automatically become organised.

Set your priorities in life. If you discipline your life, you will ultimately take the first step towards success.
