It’s National Su***de Prevention Month and today is National Su***de Prevention Day! Look at that statistic…every 40 seconds some one loses their life to su***de! That’s astonishing and preventable! Stop the stigma and change the narrative!!! Stop using mental health slang words as common words in general or to hurt people. There are people who are hurting and didn’t ask or want to feel this way! If you’re hurting, reach out. If you know someone you are concerned about, reach out, listen and be kind! You never know what battle someone is fighting!!

Good advice for everyone!

Being able to manage your time effectively is an important asset to have in college and as a life skill. It can help you be more productive, energetic, and motivated throughout the day.

Here are our best tips on how to balance your time:

🕰️ Set achievable goals in a timely manner (every week, quarter, semester, year).
🕰️ If you're a list person, organize tasks in order of importance.
🕰️ Reward yourself after completing a task by crossing off an item on the list, getting a treat, etc.
🕰️ Limit distractions by creating a productive environment. Limit phone usage, excess noise, people, etc.
🕰️ Take breaks when necessary. This can include walking, grabbing a snack, or taking a power nap.
🕰️ Balance your schedule/ weekly tasks. Avoid overloading on one day.
🕰️ Be flexible if you need to adjust your schedule.

When making a list, try using the A-B-C method.

✍️ A = things that have to get done
✍️ B = things that need to get done
✍️ C = things you want to get done
