Facing every school day with constant agitation can be a double-edged sword: if on the one hand you need to take your job seriously and try to give your best, on the other hand too much tension can negatively affect your physical state and mental. It is therefore necessary to find a balance between your commitment to studies and the stress to which you feel subjected.
Steps
Step 1. Acknowledge your problem
Whenever you feel very agitated thinking about your school day, try to figure out what is making you the most nervous; think about whether it's teachers, classmates, lessons, homework, or your preparation. These are usually the main reasons for anxiety.
Step 2. Explain your problem
After recognizing the source of stress, talk to your teacher about it. Don't be afraid to voice your tensions, look for a confrontation and possibly a solution. Is there anything your professors could do to help you? If your problem is homework, the teacher may be available to give you valuable advice, or help you find time to study.
Step 3. Look on the bright side of your problem and try to solve it yourself
If you can't, ask a friend for help.
Step 4. Talk to a trusted person
If your problem is a specific classmate, talk to someone you trust, who also knows the other person and is ready to help you. Together you can analyze the problem, find a solution and decide how to proceed. The support staff at your school can give you the advice you are looking for.
Step 5. Determine the time to devote to studies
It is necessary to devote time each day to study and research. Establish daily what will be the time to devote to your school preparation, getting used to following a daily study routine. If you don't have homework one day, you can do some internet research related to the topics you are studying. It is a dynamic and fun way to increase your knowledge.
Step 6. Be organized
To be able to carry out all school commitments in the best possible way, it is necessary to be organized. Plan what to do, determine how - and by when - you will have to complete the study of each subject. Please take into account the different requests of teachers. Get an agenda and several binders to divide the study material, buy one for each subject, plus an extra one. As the tasks are assigned, write them down in the diary (don't wait: do it now!), Taking care not to write too short and confused: they must not be indecipherable. If teachers cite references or give advice, write them down carefully. Arrange all the material of the lessons in the different binders, choose different colors to identify the subjects at a glance. He arranges all the tasks to be done in the extra binder, dividing the completed ones from the ones yet to be finished. When it comes time to do your homework, you will have a clear understanding of what you need to accomplish and you will be able to organize your time productively.

Warnings

Always check the validity of the information you read and don't stick to just one source.
