Optimized some part of a common routine or cached behavior

Fall semester of university started last week. I reviewed my syllabi and was becoming overwhelmed with the amount of assigned work.

To get a better grasp on exactly how much there was, I spent a few hours combining information from all of the syllabi into one comprehensive schedule. I can now see at a glance exactly when assignments are due, as well as when quizzes/tests are.

I've started to slowly but surely chip away at the work, and I've realized there it isn't as bad as I originally thought. It still won't be easy, but now I don't have any anxiety about not being able to get my work done.
