Plan Ahead

Don't save a big essay or project for the night before. Make deadlines for yourself such as finishing an outline the week before it's due, a first draft by five days until it's due, then have it typed two days before it's due so all you have to do the last night is proofread. It won't be as stressful if you allow yourself more time to complete it. The sooner you have it done, the more errors you will catch and the more time you'll have for yourself.
