Hello Emelia,

For me that would be finishing what you have started in a day before trying to start the other that you will need to finish also. If you have a shcool assignment, needs to finish household cores, and needs to practice for your basketball match, you will choose what to do first and finish it in one day before trying to jump on the other without finishing the first one.
