I was constantly making little schedules with time estimates in college: Class xyz paper 30-45 min class abc hw problems 4-10 1hr physics 2 study for quiz 2 hrs C++ assignment 45 mins I dont seem to do this in my professional life, but constantly assessing how much time everything would take helped me a lot. Also just writing more things down by hand is a dramatically different way to help organize life. I rarely write things (by hand) anymore and I feel like its atrophied part of my brains organizational ability. However, whenever I have accomplished something big in life - getting a new job, keeping on top of many parallel things - I always bullet journal. I guess this is to say: if you are feeling overwhelmed break everything down into steps (on paper!) and plan out when everything is happening (on paper!).Have a yearly log, monthly log, and daily log. There is just something about actually writing things down which can help you physically feel like you have removed stress/weight.
