This is for those, like me, who have an overload of things to do.
Write a paragraph like this:

I have to get 18 lessons, 1 15pg project, 2 written reviews done by Nov 27. I also have to get 8 Chemistry exams in soon, I have to do a math project by Oct 30, reporter analysis by nov 1, math assnmt by oct 23, reporter update by next thursday, and on top of that I have to study thoroughly for my math test 2 and get in an english assnt tomorrow. Geez! I feel much better!

If that doesn't work then list everything so:
1. 18 lessons, 15page project, 2 reviews by Nov 27
2. 8 Chemistry exams by end of semester
3. Math project Oct 30
4. Math assnt by Oct 23
5. Reporter updat next thursday
6. Reporter analysis by Nov 1
7. Test 2 in math and final exam studies
8. English assignment tomorrow

It really does help. Trust me! I prefer paragraphing it just to make it seem more overwhelming. Seriously, it takes my feelings of overwhelmedness away.

Lists are nice because I always feel nice and accomplished when I can put a tick next to one or put a strike through it. I have absolutely no homework at the moment, though I am only doing one course to tide myself over during my gap year.

I got a nice whiteboard to keep track of all this stuff for me, so I feel a lot better organized than I did.
1. Study for physics test tomorrow.
2. Study for Japanese vocab quiz tomorrow.
3. Make calls to schedule appointments for resnet.
4. Go to resnet appointment tomorrow morning.
5. Go to any appointments scheduled for this weekend.

6. Study for Chem exam on Monday (!!)
7. Get in contact with physics lab partners so they can get the data they didn't write down during class.
8. Write physics lab write-up before next Thursday.

Some of those aren't huge deals yet but I like to keep them in my mind so they don't creep up on me.
