As you learned from Abigail, building a schedule requires that you know how long it takes to complete common daily tasks. Twenty-four hours seems like a long time, until you realize that the time burns up quickly. Almost twelve of those hours are reserved for sleeping, eating, and exercising, and several more hours are assigned to scheduled commitments like classes, practices, lessons, jobs, or other schedule activities.
Almost two-thirds of high school students report that they feel rushed to keep up with school, jobs, activities, family, and their social lives. Often, their time and responsibilities seem to compete for the same block of time. By building a schedule according to your priorities, you help to maintain balance in your schedule and your daily life. A balanced schedule is one that gives you enough time to finish your high priority tasks and most of your B and C priority tasks. Balance your schedule by planning time for what you must do, should do, and would like to do. Balance helps you to remain calm, exercise good judgment, and find satisfaction in each day.
Stress in your daily life follows the same rules you observed in the Human Function Curve: a little can be invigorating, too much leads to exhaustion. Remember, a schedule that reflects your priorities and goals is an effective stress management strategy—a strategy that helps you to cope with, reduce, or eliminate stress by taking control of your time.
