Does this sound familiar?
"I'm always sooooo busy. It's like I work all the time, but I barely make deadlines and sometimes I miss assignments."
Students often fall into "the busy trap."
This happens when you poorly invest time and energy into your schedule. You spend more time "doing stuff," and less time getting things done.
Three symptoms of being busy rather than productive are:
1) You are always distracted.
2) You work with too little direction and have no deliverables to show for all the time and effort you invest.
3) You ignore "self-care," whatever that means based on your needs.
Becoming more productive (and less stressed) will help you get things done while becoming LESS busy. If you want to know how I've achieved this in my own life, check out the article I wrote about the FREEDOM method.

These are the tools I equipped myself with to become more productive in college.
When you are done listening to this episode, consider whether or not you are too busy (and not productive enough) during your typical school week.
