It is always the choice of a smart person to try being productive with stable and easy life, rather than trying to be productive but with the outcome of stress and unhappiness.
So here's a simple tip to make your life easier. Try to spend just a few minutes (better in the morning before you start working on anything) to plan what you want to do, or think about the tasks that you can complete on one particular day. Make sure the tasks you listed are realistic and reasonable: don't overdo yourself.
It is better if you classify the tasks according to their priority, like putting them into subheadings of "primary", "secondary" or "additional". You can also write down how much time you need to complete each task and check your schedule on that day for compatibility. For example, if there are too many lectures, appointments or any other events, you may have to reduce the number or amount of tasks you plan to do. The main point here is to OPTIMIZE your life between how much time you have and the amount of work you can do within that timeframe. Plan properly and make sure it suits your own capabilities and limitations.
Write all of this list of tasks on a piece of paper and put it at a place where you can easily notice it, like pinning it to a softboard, paste it on your table etc. Try to do this everyday and insya Allah you are going to be a very productive and efficient person (in terms of completing tasks).
Now, you have a mission to complete on that day. Every time you completed a task, tick it down and say alhamdulillah. Try to follow the plan with patience and discipline until "mission is accomplished".
InsyaAllah with this way, no matter how busy that day is going to be, you are likely to be less stressful. Infact you might even feel calm and relaxed, because you realize that there is a high potential that you can achieve something significant on that day, as long as you follow the plan you've made earlier (provided that nothing unintended gets in the way, but something like that is not your fault and please do not feel bad about it).
Once you have completed all the tasks, don't forget to reward yourself by seeking some entertainment -make sure it is halal- like playing sports, chess, going out for window shopping or any other as such. Choosing to spend the rest of the day with ibadah or any other amal saalih is a better choice, but if you don't feel like doing it, it is okay to just relax and do other fun things. Even the Prophet corrected the intention of some sahabah who wants to perform ibadah all night long without sleeping. Our bodies and our families have their rights too. Try to have a balanced life.
Endometriosis (say “en-doh-mee-tree-OH-sus”) is a problem many women have during their childbearing years. It means that a type of tissue that lines your uterus is also growing outside your uterus. This does not always cause symptoms, and it usually is not dangerous. But it can cause pain and other problems.
The clumps of tissue that grow outside your uterus are called implants. They usually grow on the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, the outer wall of the uterus, the intestines, or other organs in the belly. In rare cases, they spread to areas beyond the belly.
Your uterus is lined with a type of tissue called endometrium (say “en-doh-MEE-tree-um”). It is like a soft nest where a fertilized egg can grow. Each month, your body releases hormones that cause the endometrium to thicken and get ready for an egg. If you get pregnant, the fertilized egg attaches to the endometrium and starts to grow. If you do not get pregnant, the endometrium breaks down, and your body sheds it as blood. This is your menstrual period.
When you have endometriosis, the implants of tissue outside your uterus act just like the tissue lining your uterus. During your menstrual cycle, they get thicker, then break down and bleed. But the implants are outside your uterus, so the blood cannot flow out of your body. The implants can get irritated and painful. Sometimes they form scar tissue or fluid-filled sacs (cysts). Scar tissue may make it hard to get pregnant.
Experts do not know what causes endometrial tissue to grow outside your uterus. But they do know that the female hormone estrogen makes the problem worse. Women have high levels of estrogen during their childbearing years. It is during these years-usually from their teens into their 40s-that women have endometriosis. Estrogen levels drop when menstrual periods stop (menopause). Symptoms usually go away then.
The most common symptoms are:
Endometriosis varies from woman to woman. Some women do not know that they have it until they see a doctor because they cannot get pregnant. Some have mild cramping that they think is normal for them. In other women, the pain and bleeding are so bad that they are not able to work or go to school.
Many different problems can cause painful or heavy periods. To find out if you have endometriosis, your doctor will:
If it seems like you have endometriosis, your doctor may suggest that you try medicine for a few months. If you get better using medicine, you probably have endometriosis.
To find out if you have a cyst on an ovary, you might have an imaging test like an ultrasound, an MRI, or a CT scan. These tests show pictures of what is inside your belly.
The only way to be sure you have endometriosis is to have a type of surgery called laparoscopy (say “lap-uh-ROS-cuh-pee”). During this surgery, the doctor puts a thin, lighted tube through a small cut in your belly. This lets the doctor see what is inside your belly. If the doctor finds implants, scar tissue, or cysts, he or she can remove them during the same surgery.
There is no cure for endometriosis, but there are good treatments. You may need to try several treatments to find what works best for you. With any treatment, there is a chance that your symptoms could come back.
Treatment choices depend on whether you want to control pain or you want to get pregnant. For pain and bleeding, you can try medicines or surgery. If you want to get pregnant, you may need surgery to remove the implants.
Treatments for endometriosis include:
As a last resort for severe pain, some women have their uterus and ovaries removed (hysterectomy and oophorectomy). If you have your ovaries taken out, your estrogen level will drop and your symptoms will probably go away. But you may have symptoms of menopause, and you will not be able to get pregnant.
If you are getting close to menopause, you may want to try to manage your symptoms with medicines rather than surgery. Endometriosis usually stops causing problems when you stop having periods.
If you are thinking about using medicines for pain, keep the following in mind:
