I chose to try the time-management stress technique.
By being able to measure out what you need done. Along with putting a realistic time frame and goal for it to be completed, is a good way to manage stress. I believe that is one of the best ways to over come stress. By planning ample time to do a good job on a task or project is key, rather than rushing through it.
Personally I make lists of things that I need to complete, but I never set time frames to do them. So, normally I end up knowing what I need to do, but rarely finish them in a timely matter. I then continue to procrastinate.
I need to include time estimations along with my tasks that I need t complete in order to accomplish these tasks without stressing over time, or the quality of the finished product.
*UPDATE* I actually have began the process of scheduling out things I need to do daily and things that are less important that I should save for my free time. I have been feeling less crunched for time also !

Kids off drugs...
If I had children I would definitely have a talk with them about drugs and the dangers of them. My method of doing so I've listed as the following as what I would do, and wouldn't do.
Good methods :
- Explaining the effects of drugs and that it harms and permanently alters your mind.
- Explaining addiction and how it could only take 'one time' to be physically or mentally addicted.
- Explain that although it may cause a temporary happiness, it increases the chances of developing depression, which in turn, could make you potentially miserable later on.
- Tell my experiences with people who I know, and who have died from them.
- Explain how marijuana is a gate-way drug and although people beg to differ- it does affect your brain. It affects the part of your brain that deals with your emotions and can cause depression and not a physical dependency but a mental one.
- Explain addictions and different forms, such as mental and physical.
- Letting them know that no matter what they've done they can still talk to me and if they are using drugs to let me know.
- Telling them it's always okay to ask for help.
Bad Methods :
- Harassing them by drug testing them and insisting they're high.
- Raiding their room.
- Removing their door.
- Harassing their friends and drug testing them as well, yes I know it's crazy, but it's happened to me before..
