Ryan Samn, Student life and leadership assistant- “For folks working constantly on projects that have deadlines, a good way to keep everything online open is to download Mozilla Firefox AND make an account when the browser prompts you to do so. If you find yourself busy throughout the day, you can close out the browser and then login in from another device on the go —by logging into your Mozilla Firefox account all your webpage tabs will reopen and you can resume working from where you choose.”

Alana Utsumi, Program Services coordinator in the science, math and Technology division – “My advice would be to make certain that you balance that level of busyness with downtime doing things that you love. I always have a countdown to my next vacation on a countdown app on my phone! On some really crazy work days, you may even find me in my car with my eyes closed, listening to mindfulness recordings or calming music.”

Eddy Harris, Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach and Kinesiology Adjunct Faculty – “What I try to do is carve out some quiet time each day to just refocus and recenter myself. I like to pray during this time, but I know others like to meditate or read to do the same thing. The second thing I do is try to carve out some time to do something I enjoy around and amongst the business. I enjoy working out so I work out multiple times throughout the week. Exercise is a great tool to help combat the effects of being busy. And lastly, when I am not busy – I enjoy myself! I go on vacations or do absolutely nothing. J So that’s my advice: 1) carve out time each day to have peace and quiet. 2) Do things that you enjoy that will help you feel energized and 3) When you are not busy-unplug, relax, get away and enjoy yourself!”

Justin Piergrossi, Head men’s basketball coach – “My advice to students is to prioritize based on urgency and importance. Every task can be evaluated using those two characteristics. If not, it’s probably not worth your time.”
