My Prioritization Time Hack: How I Made It to the Ball and Met My Deadline

The time when I did an all-nighter before an end presentation but not because of it

I’m telling you a story that should question your way of prioritizing.

At some point, I started to prioritize like crazy. I didn’t have much time, and I wanted to do everything this semester:

• 3 semester projects (all group projects)
• volunteering at my student organization
• exams
• living my life

This led to me doing an all-nighter before a semester project end presentation, not because of it but because I went to the university ball.

I got the free ticket from volunteering, and I knew I was usually done the day before with all the stuff for the submission.

Well, my project partner wasn’t. She also did an all-nighter, but because of the deadline.

I danced the waltz at the Hofburg in Vienna (yes, we have our ball there). My partner finished her tasks until 5 am.

At the same time, I went home and finished our poster for the presentation at 9 am.
