Taking things and accomplishing them A DAY AT A TIME


We all know what its like to be stressed out. We feel frustrated, anxious, tired, and overwhelmed. If there's someone that's never been stressed out before, well I wish i were them. A strategy that I've been using that helps me releive my stress level and get things done is using the a day at a time strategy.

For each day, you write down a list of 5 things that are stressing you out and things that you need to get done, or would like to. After making this list you can make it a point to accomplish these things and when your done, you cross them out. I do this almost everyday, and man does it feel great crossing something out. What's even better is when you have the whole list crossed out. You feel stress free, and you have this sense of confidence that you can do what you want without their being any consequences. Say goodbye to the feeling of something sitting in the back of your head that bothers you every so often.

For me, I use this stragy often becaue of the level of satisfaction I feel when the list is crossed off. I can put anything on the list too, it doesn't have to be school related.

In regards to Vars, I am a visual and kinsethetic learner and this strategy works for me, because I write out what I need to do and then I have the list that I look at every so often. However, I feel as if this strategy is similiar to the one I had last week where I feel as if any type of learner can use this strategy to relieve stress.

I personally highly recommend this strategy to anyone. There is something about just making a list and getting things done that releives stress, which is the whole point of this weeks blog. I really hope you consider my day at a time strategy because I think it can be very helpful!

  2. I also used a day at a time and you did a good job telling how you used it. You might want to add some color to your blog to make it more appealing but you showed how to use the strategy very well.
