How do I become less stressed, less worried, and more organized?

Question

I've been having trouble keeping up with everything; things in school, things outside of school, friends, homework. I get stressed out, nervous, and worried a lot. To me it seems like maybeI'm not starting my school work early enough and putting it off. Today for instance i didn't start it until around 4:30 and i get home at 3:00. I dont remember any time when i was surfing the internet instead of doing homework. I am still working on it, and I have kind of a lot left. It's 10:00 PM right now. Am i a procrastinator, or do I have too much homeowork? How do I become more organized to help me finish my homework earlier? and how am I supposed to be less stressed?

Wow, sounds like you have a lot going on. First, you do need to organize yourself. Get a student planner that allows you to make notes. Keep it accessible through the day.
I don't think it seems wrong to take a break once you get home. Starting your work at 4:30 seems reasonable. If you have more than three hours of homework, maybe you should speak with your teachers. Unfortunatly sometimes teachers don't take into account that other teachers are piling on homework too.
Finally, ask some of your friends how much time they are putting into homework every night. This could help you too.
When you have a project due, start on it right away, it's easier to do it little by little, than to wait until closer to it's being due.
Is it possible to do some of your homework at school? I know I always tried to get a little done, then I would have less to do at home.
If nothing else, maybe you should talk with your guidance counselor. They can sometimes intervene with the teacher to help you organize yourself better.
