This is a great question! My go to is buying notepads or journals and setting up List!:) Having a list will help you see your task and whenever you complete one scratch it out! Technology has taken over but keeping a journal or agenda book has been a huge way to stay on top of things!

Have a schedule for everything. Write them down so that you don't forget. If it is too much for you to handle don't feel ashamed to admit that you need help.

Write. It. Down. I've learned that when it's all in my head, I have trouble managing all my priorities and goals. Once you see them, you know what you're working with. Also, I love to color code things. Right now my homework is pink, my study sessions/task are green, and my personal events are purple! It doesn't have to be anything fancy. Just find a way that you find fun and enjoyable to prioritize. Don't think that just because you don't have to worry about one thing for another month that your shouldn't be jotting it down. Write it all down. The longer it stays in your head, the more opportunities it has to keep you awake at night and punch you in the brain during lunch.

Making lists, sticky notes, action plans. Scribbling down everything you need to do on some paper and them putting them in a list from highest priority, to lowest can give you a way of prioritizing.

you can write down all of the things that you would like to do and the things you need to do...then write all the things that you need to do with a few things that you would like to do as a reward for accomplishing things that you needed to do....then write a daily itinerary...for every day write a reasonable amount of things that you needed to do with a thing you like to do at the bottom as a reward for doing all of things that you needed to for that day

If you need to decide what to to and what to leave (for the moment) I ask the following questions: 1. Do I really need to do this?/Does it make sense? What's the driver? 2. Is there anyone who could do this better than I can (e. g. helping someone > is there an expert?) 3. What actions generate additional options in the future? 4. Where can I learn or experience something new/helpful? 5. What actions are an investment (do I need to go through something now to earn later)? 6. What needs to be done not to get into trouble? Make Kanban-Board with 4 columns: new, to do, work in progress, done). Write a keyword for each topic on a sticky note. Put the most important items in top (in the column "New". Move them from left (new) to right (done) as you work through your items. Celebrate each time you put something in "Done".

Well, you just compare and contrast. I would prioritize this issue like this. Should I pay the rent, yes! That is the mature thing to do.. Then realize you are in the dessert and you are broken down, luckily just overheated. You then realize you are ill due to sun exposure. Now it's paying rent or getting water and not dying. What do you do? I know this is an extreme thought, but hopefully you understand the concept. Figure out what you need in the short term to survive and the rest is irrelevant. In the scenario and in prioritizing you are basically just figuring out what you need the most and recognizing those changes. I hope you benefit from this post and if not thats ok too I am just hoping you find a solution.
