I make out list, and due dates, so I know what I need to get done and when. Each time I mark off a task it's like this block of stress is lifted off my shoulders.

What I do is I control my breath and tackle things little by little. With my breathing, I take in 4 breaths, hold it for 4, let go for 4 and hold for 4. It really helps me. If my mind wanders from the breathing, I slowly bring it back and it really relaxes me. Also, when it comes to the work, I make lists on what I have to do, and just focus on one thing I can do in that time frame. When I tackle things one by one, it makes it seem less overwhelming.

Having a schedule and managing my time helps me, as does journaling and making sure I have enough sleep. I try to do some studying every day AND do something relaxing every day. It's hard to always be balanced, but it's something to strive for because it reduces stress. TIme with friends and/or acquaintances is important, and a hobby or two can help (but not so many they stress you out too) If anxiety is impairing your daily life, you might see a doctor, counselor, and/or psychiatrist for advice and further support.

If you've got loads of homework, try to take one thing at a time. like if you have math, chemistry and history, focus at one thing, get that completely done and then move on to next.
