Mostly everyone feels overscheduled at one point or another,
especially people in my generation, including myself. Its weird with me though,
I find myself more overscheduled in high school then I do in college but I
still do feel overscheduled. In high school for example every part of my day I
had something going on. I would wake up in the morning, shower then going
straight to school, after I would go home do my homework and study then head
straight to the hockey rink for a 9 o’clock game or practice. I would feel so over overscheduled all the time until I finally realized that I had to dial it back
a little and make time so I wasn’t so overwhelmed by the amount of work I had
to do. I was getting grades so I decided to spend a little less time studying
and a little more time relaxing. I was able to still get good grades but also
felt a lot less overwhelmed. In college I have a lot of work but I also have a
lot of time so it evens out. People who feel overscheduled have to decided if
they have something in the schedule that they are willing to take out because
it can make someone fell so much better.
I agree with you completely. I also felt overwhelmed with my classes and my extracurricular activity that I had going on in high school. There was a point in time where I know I needed to cut something out so I would not be extremely stressed and have time to do the other activities better. In college I also feel overwhelm but I do have more time to spend on homework and every now and then I can take a nap to refresh myself. People that feel like they have no time to themselves over work themselves to the extend where they are tired all the time and feel swamp with everything that is going on. People need to learn how to time manage their schedule so that they can make time in their day or even week to have to themselves. Also people need to know when to calm it down a bit, fortunate for you, you saw that that’s what you needed. It is all about managing time.
