Do you need a Schedule Make Over?

We know that we have many educators are listening in and we want to encourage you to share this message with your students and to take the Next Steps! The Next Steps are pre-designed curriculum which goes along with this podcast. And to all of the students listening, we encourage you share this with your friends on facebook or twitter!



If you’re feeling stressed out, you may be trying to fit too much into your life! Much like attempting to stuff more T-shirts into an overflowing drawer, putting more activity into a full life often won’t work unless you take something out.

To evaluate what should go and what should stay in your schedule, complete this exercise:

1. Make columns on a sheet of paper or on a computer document.
2. Label the top of each column: Classes, Activities, People, Work, Hobbies, etc. 3. In the appropriate area of your chart, list out all of your responsibilities that fall within that category.
4. Number order the items in each column based on their importance to you and to helping you achieve your short-term goals and long-term dreams.
5. If you have too much in your life, cut off the activities, classes, or even relationships that fall at the bottom of your list in terms of importance.
6. Then focus on the items that are left. You’ll be much better off doing less but achieving more in what you choose to do.
