This week seemed to level out my stress, I did not increase it but on the other hand I did not decrease it, which is what I am striving for. Writing in my agenda I was able plan out my midterm and final dates so that I can mentally prepare myself for the workload that might be given to me around that time. As for writing in my agenda it still is something that I am getting used, I was actively using it in the beginning of the week but getting towards the end I started to slack and noticed myself going back to fill in dates because it felt mandatory. Unfortunately I was not using it as a reminder of specific due dates. Getting through the week seemed much easier and went by quickly due to the fact that I had a driving force. I was going to be able to see a close family friend that is coming down from CSUN, towards the end of the week. But i believe if I did not having that drastic driving force I may have just continued my bad habits. The restrain that I faced was that I was super focused on one class so I would write what I needed to be planned for that class, but left all the others for last minutes. With this being said I might want to start to attempt to find a balance between all my work load in the previous week by using my planner to set personal due dates for myself.
