How can you actively prevent it from getting worse—like starting now/today?

    I do but it also has like 100 things on it and most of my problems have extremely vague deadlines so I can’t put them there. The last time I went through and filtered out no longer relevant issues was a week ago.

        For instance, I’m a college student right now and I need to apply for internships or jobs for the summer, and jobs or colleges or scholarships etc for the future which does not have a clear deadline but needs to be done sooner rather than later. Then many more tasks like this of similar, greater, or lesser importance or that stem from the bigger problems and I only have time to pick a few of them, to complete around clear tasks with hard deadlines (i.e. homework, exams) which I have no problem managing but take up most of my time and its importance depends heavily on those vague tasks.

          How might something vague be made more concrete, time-bound, and actionable, but also limitable? Often tasks or projects expand to fill the time container alloted to them so what could be done to limit that?
