Get things done. Make a checklist. Prioritize appropriately. Use all available resources, like the internet, your club advisor, officers, etc. Ask for help if/when you need it. Aim to finish ahead of schedule by setting a personal deadline. (a pre-deadline deadline)

Support System You are only one person, use your support system. Delegate tasks accordingly Don’t do everything yourself. Ask for help when needed! Confide in your team members Chances are they know exactly how you’re feeling! Make sure everyone is kept up to date and included, so no one and nothing is left out or overlooked.
