One of the most common things that people say when they ask them what is stressing them out is that they never have enough time. These days, time seems to be a luxury that we can barely afford on top of living fees and student loans. However, the truth is that time is not something we can find or just get, it is something you make. By making these simple changes to your life in these areas, you can make more time to get whatever else you want done.

Within the last 20 years, the rise of gaming has increased exponentially. As technology gets further and further advanced, more unique and interesting games get put out to the public. Because of this, more and more people have filled up their precious time playing games. If you’re anything like me, once you start playing a game, time can fly by and before you know it, 6 hours have passed by and you just wasted a quarter of the day. However, there are some simple strategies that can allow you to better manage your time with gaming and have plenty left over for everything else.

Tips to manage gaming time:

  1. Make a list of all you have to do for the day to prioritize what needs to get done.
  2. Figure out how much time you need for certain game activities (pvp matches, raiding, battle royal) and set a time limit
  3. Don’t stay up late playing games which causes you to sleep in late
  4. Don’t try to cram games between assignments or small breaks

One of the things that takes up most of our daily life after college and work. We need some way to pay off our insane student loans, as well as a way to not live with our parents for the rest of our lives. While some jobs are more flexible than others and let you create your own schedule, most jobs come with the standard 9 to 5 hours. Depending on what your job is, often times the workload of the day carries over to home, or you get stressed because there is never enough time to get what you need to get done. Have no fear dear readers, below we give some tips and strategies to help keep work at work and leave plenty of time for your life outside of that.

Tips for managing time with work:

  1. Most important: Make a to do list of what needs to get done every day. This way, you can go through and get each item done while knowing exactly what you might have to continue on the following day.
  2. Learn to prioritize what needs to get done vs what is not urgent. Do what is urgent first and then get as much done with the rest.

  4. Assign time limits to tasks. This way, you can keep your self on a schedule and not end up spending hours on a project when you could have completed it much sooner.
  5. Fit in break buffers so that you can unwind and reset in order to tackle on the rest of the days workload.
