by Emily Dickinson

"Hope" is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -

I've heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.

Stress is a feeling of pressure and strain. Stress in small amounts can be beneficial and improve someone's cognitive and physical performance but too much stress can be harmful.

Students are among those who are likely to experience too much stress, especially those who just finished high school and are about to get into college or university.

Stress has a variety of symptoms: physical (headaches, muscle aches, nausea, trouble sleeping, fatigue), emotional (sadness, sense of isolation, restlessness, feeling overwhelmed, irritability), cognitive (poor concentration, worrying, anxious thoughts, impaired judgement), and behavioral (altered sleeping and eating habits, lying, desire for isolation, trouble getting along).

If you know you experience too much stress, it's best not to leave it as it is.

The infographic below is going to help you with that. It will discuss the common stress sources and suggest a couple of stress management methods. Apart from that, you will learn about the benefits of taking a gap year and how you can use it to prevent becoming stressed out in the future.

When you've got a million things on your To-Do list, it can be hard to know where to start. Learning how to prioritise will help you to stay focussed, motivated and productive. A 'priority matrix' is one tool that can help you to figure out your priorities and start kicking goals. Give it a shot below.

1. Make sure it's manageable

Write down a list of things you need to get done and a realistic timeframe for achieving them.

Try to limit the list to around 10 tasks so you don't feel overwhelmed.

Break down big tasks (like cleaning your sharehouse) into smaller, more manageable projects (like collecting all the empty mugs that have been stranded in different rooms).

2. Grid it up

Draw up a grid. Mark the horizontal line 'effort' and the vertical line 'value.' Orrr use this one we prepared earlier.

3. Map it out

Think about how valuable each task is and how much effort it'll take. Then, go ahead and plot it on the grid.

Consider the value the task will add to your life, as well as the impact not doing the task will have. Also consider how it'll affect other people.

Be ruthless, it won't be helpful if you score everything as equal. Perfecting the ultimate study playlist isn't quiiiite as important as finally doing your part of the group assignment, though it's a bit more effort.

4. Start ticking boxes

You've now divided your To-Do list into 4 levels of priority:

Box 1: This is the stuff that requires planning and strategy. Get cracking on them straight away.
Box 2: These are your quick wins. Low effort, high reward. Yassss.
Box 3: The thankless tasks. Necessary but annoying jobs that no one wants to do.
Box 4: The time-fillers. These are the very last things you should do - right before you give up on being productive and start binging on a new show.

We know it's not as easy as simply deciding you need to get stuff done and then *VOILA* it's sorted. But, learning how to prioritise is an important first step to tackling your goals. If this tool wasn't for you, check out these 10 tips for getting stuff done and learn how to improve your motivation. If you're still finding it hard to get stuff done, it might mean there's something more serious going on. Check in with a GP or talk to someone you trus t.

What can I do now?

Find out our top tips for setting goals like a boss.

If competing demands are stressing you out, it's a good idea to take some time to chill. Try practising mindfulness or doing something that makes you happy.

Head to our forums to find out how other young people work out their priorities and get stuff done.
