I hope the stress doesn't kill me

Yup, it's that awful time of the school term once again, just a whole lot worse this time. Let me list out my poisons.

19 pages of backgrounds to draw for a storybook. Right now, I'm on page 6.
My entire bloody portfolio for VizComms. Sketches, roughs, steps, finals. It couldn't come at a worse time.
An "Art Installation" project in Scratch. Prototype ( Read more... )

Sounds OH so familiar! The main thing I found when faced with that sort of list of things to do is to make a plan and REALLY STICK TO IT. But make sure you build in relaxation time otherwise it becomes impossible.You could do something like, 8am to 9am SL, 10 am to 12noon, work on a paper, 12noon to 1.00pm lunch and checking mails etc, 1pm to 3pm work on the art installation, 3pm to 5pm leave 'free' to pick up on anything that you want to carry on with during the day, so on and so forth. And stick to it like glue ( ... )

Aww thank you very much. This does help.

What I do is I usually list out things I need to do for the day, but ultimately, something that's supposed to take an hour at most stretches to 4 hours. I planned and sketched out all I had to add to the pages for the kid's storybook but when it came to actually drawing it in Illustrator and Photoshop, something as simple as the living room took me 2 hours. >.< I'll upload some pictures later! <3 And the thing that's really bad is that even when I put in break times, I don't use them, because I'm so bothered about work. When I do use them, I'm too caught up worrying to actually fully utilise the break properly, and then I'm back to my miserable work state once more. >.< Ahh and usually I go on SL for a bit and then leave myself there and do my work. ._. I'm guilty of being afk alot but I do check back more often than I guess I should ( ... )

9___9 ::sends good chi in your direction::

I know what you mean. When school is in session, I'm just so miserable in general and even though I only have class on two days of the week, I have a crap load of stuff to do (not as much as you though, dear)...

I believe in your ability to get all of this done and fabulously at that. Yes. I believe so, so it must be. n_n
