Stress affects cognitive, behavioral, psychodynamic, and development (Boekaert, D 'Oosterlinck, Goethals, Maeyer, & Schuyten, 2008)Using this plan will allow me to become a success, because I will be able to graduate from Tidewater Community College, transfer to Hampton University, and graduate with an undergraduate degree in architecture.

I notice that by creating little to do lists I am able to check the whole list off and feel less stressed, because I have completed the list. These little lists ultimately lead up to me completing my big task. Not having a plan does not make the stress go away. If often creates even more
