The pressure of getting into a good university starts long before senior year. High school students and sometimes even younger students can experience burnout if they feel like they are falling behind other students that they have to compete with to get into the top schools. Here are a few things that young people can do to keep burnout at bay.
- Organization Is Vital – There’s a major time crunch on many school projects and on things you will need to do for college admissions. Staying organized saves time and prevents simple mistakes that could otherwise lead to major headaches.
- Get Priorities in Order – A good education is important for your ability to carry out adult tasks, but you also need to have your personal values in their proper place. When you are confident in your values and set your own priorities, you won’t wear yourself out chasing the priorities that others may try to set for you.
- Have Reasonable Goals – Goals keep you moving in the correct direction. Unattainable goals can cause you to overextend yourself and eventually give up. So don’t sell yourself short, but you also shouldn’t compare yourself to others. Have your own objectives and work toward them consistently.
