Daily Routine/Stress. a Life in Your Day. How Good Are You at Managing Your Time?

Daily routine/Stress. A life in your day. How good are you at managing your time?

I’ m the typical representative of present young generation, doing my best to combine daily routine staff, like household chores, with university studies and leisure. My tight schedule never allows me to procrastinate and put off doing necessary and important daily tasks. So I try to manage my time and not just go with the flow.

At roughly 06.45 a. m. my alarm clock buzzes, it literally blasts me into awareness of the morning. As I’m a big fan of having a great lie-in, every day I have to experience morning stress, however a quick shower benefits both my health and my mood! Finally dressed and with my hair and face done, I get a chance to watch morning TV shows and news, while enjoying delicious mum’s breakfast! I takes me about an hour to wake up and get ready.

At 7.45 I set off for the Academy. My way to the university is always long and exhausting, as I use underground and public transport during the rush hours. It’s a real disaster as crowds of people are forever shuttlecocking and coming in on me! So it’s not easy to get to the Academy dead on time, that’s why I’m sometimes late for the lectures.

I usually enjoy studying if I’m up-to-date with my homework. I hate the feeling of being behind with anything. I enjoy Academy mainly because of the number of friends I have there. I also hate being along. Another good reason for coming is a high level of education in different subjects like math, language, economics and others. At noon students have a fourty-minute lunch break, so I go on a binge or starve myself. I usually starve for two reasons: either to make up for the binge, which took place the previous day, or to save money.

After spending 5-6 hours at the lectures, practicals and tutorials, I either can unwind and recharge my batteries at the swimming pool, or go home and help mum with housework. In the evening tired of cleaning, washing and ironing, I have to get down to my homework, but it’s rather challenging to make yourself tackle all the tasks, because there are so many time-eaters everywhere!

The most common one is to interrupt yourself. This is the irony of a life, the main opponent of yours who prevent you from doing your best is yourself. In your business or in homework, your time gets wasted because you think of something that had slipped your mind, so you drop everything and are off to complete it before you forget it again. Or you use any excuse to break from a less than favorite task, and go off to the bathroom or refrigerator.
The main time-eater for me, which stoles my time, is the Internet. Nowadays students spend hours sitting in front of the computer and surfing the Net and I’m not the exception. I have to use the Internet searching the information for my studies. During the research I often check out my e-mail and my web page on social networks. I absolutely forget about the time and get absolutely shocked when I take a look at the clock! However, by midnight or sometimes even later my homework gets done.

When I go to bed, I either think about the next day which is planned down to the tiniest detail or worry about anything and everything: about the Academy, my future, what I look like, what people think about me and what I could do to change the way people think about me. Sometimes I drop off to sleep as soon my head touches the pillow without as much as mulling over the events of the day and sleep like a baby, but there are times when I toss and turn in the small hours worrying myself silly. I don’t know what it depends on, but in any case the next day is going to be the same!
