Time & Structure
How do I stop competitions and deadlines landing in the same week?
Rhema Adelaja · National Champion & 4x DUX
Put every competition, deadline and exam on one timeline. When both sides of your life are in one view, you can see a clash early enough to move work.
The answer
- Test yourself: you know how many days until your next competition. Do you know how many days until your next big submission?
- List every competition, assessment due date and exam.
- Put them all in one calendar, in one view, not two separate lists.
- Look for weeks where both are heavy, and move work earlier or warn your teacher or coach before the week arrives.
