Prioritize
Find ways to stay organized and map out your time. One recommendation is the Urgent/Important matrix. Sounds tricky, but it's a good way to figure out and prioritize your tasks.
Urgent/Important = DO RIGHT AWAY
Not Urgent/Important = Important things coming up, schedule & plan these as much as possible! (Ex. test you have in 2 weeks)
Urgent/Not Important = Things that should be attended to, but maybe you you don't classify as "important". Try delegating some of these tasks if you can.
Not Urgent/Not Important = Things you want to be aware of, but they don't have to be done right now and are low priority.
Use this as your guide and tasks can move throughout the matrix.
