Tim’s Answer

Write a daily list of what you want to accomplish and allocate time for each goal. Eventually you'll better realize how long each task should take and what is attainable given your time. One of the most important things I've learned in my career is identifying what not to do. You'll become better at prioritization and at identifying other ways to accomplish the intent of the tasks that don't get accomplished that day. If you don't get around to goal after a significant amount of time... it wasn't important.

Judy’s Answer

I also felt overwhelmed sometimes, then I force myself to find some ways to release me from that. Writing down a to do list is never gonna waste time. Understanding what I'm going to do and categorizing them by prioritization can help your get organized. Besides, you could also arrange your time based on your own condition. For myself, morning could be effective and afternoon may not full of energy. So I plan to do some tough work on morning and afternoon prefer to do some work don't need much thinking.
But most important is no matter how you manage your time, it still can be stressful if you have too many things to do. You could also try to find a way to let you have some time to relax.
Hope you can enjoy what you are doing and keep work & life balance.

Alexis’s Answer

I personally have struggled with time management while in pharmacy school. I have worked to use both a To-Do list and a calendar. I use To-Do lists more as they help me prioritize my assignments, studying for quizzes, and studying for tests. To-Do lists also give me the satisfaction of crossing out completed tasks that I have completed. Working on my calendar has always been a struggle for me I have to make it a point even scheduling time to make and update my calendar. The next step that I would recommend is to check and use that calendar. Checking the calendar every night to help prepare for the next day. Lastly don’t forget to schedule and make time for yourself doing something that you enjoy doing.
