Feeling anxious or overwhelmed about assignments.

Sometimes the assignment feels huge and overwhelming and impossible to do, so students don’t feel able to even begin.

One Task at a Time

Try to avoid “all or nothing” thinking. If, when you look at the whole assignment you feel overwhelmed, break it down into manageable tasks. Use the Assignment Task Checklist located in Resources to assist you. Then focus on one task at a time and complete that one task before moving on to another one.
