As such, I have been having to learn how to prioritize tasks based on criteria, such as importance and difficulty. For example, I am enrolled in 3 classes right now; math, government, and my web development major. I consider my government course the easiest, but the least important so I delegate less time to it. My web development to me is my most important, so it takes priority right after my job. Math is my second priority right after my major because I'm behind in my math knowledge due to my poor experiences in high school and math is important to a computer science major, therefore, I prioritize it. Also in doing this, I avoid spending too much time on smaller assignments that are worth a smaller amount of my final grade (for example, a test that is worth 30 points out of 1100). Yes, I dedicate time to my smaller assignments but if I spend more than a certain amount of time on them, I stop doing it in favor of what I deem more important, even if I get a lesser grade on it.
Oh and I'm not stupid by any means, I have more of an accurate type of learning, meaning that I learn more slowly than some people early on, but I can retain how to do a more complex task faster than an average person, which helps me when I'm learning to write computer code.
I am sorry for rambling, I have been having allergy attacks all night and haven't been able to sleep so my mind is in another world right now lol. I hope I made sense.
I'm just rambling at this point so

Your prioritization of tasks and classes is very SMART!!! So again, even more kudos to you!!!! Keep up the great work! I think you're doing fantastic!
ps: I learn slowly too, but can handle large, complex tasks that some could not.
