I feel like I am taking on too much and it has been causing a lot of stress in my life. I am taking 18 credits right now, and I work two jobs, totaling about 30-40 hours per week. I am also actively involved with 4 volunteer groups/jobs, and I am thinking about signing up for 1-2 more. Volunteering totals about 15 hours per week. I feel like I need to take every opportunity that is available to me, but I am realizing that I have absolutely no free time, and my work in all areas, my relationships, and my mental health are beginning to suffer because of the stress.

I spend any time I have between commitments just making lists and schedules and outlines and plans, trying to get myself organized and figure out how to fit everything in, but I feel really overwhelmed and scattered. I really hate the idea of cutting down my activities and volunteering, and I can't cut down my jobs very easily because I am supporting myself through school, but do you think that is the best option? Do you have any ideas for stress and time management, or really effective organization?
