Spring Break Blues

So it's that time of the year when you've promised yourself that once exams are over you are going to utilize the break perfectly...just to end up one day before the start of school scrambling around trying to finish all that you've meant to do within the break...

Well, I am currently on spring break and I am actually crossing stuff on my to-do list!!

Here are some tips I've compiled that helped me this time around:-

1-Write a list of EVERYTHING

Like even the tiniest little thing of every task, you have to accomplish.
I personally have a notebook just to write lists of the tasks that are on my mind.
I have found that writing stuff down on paper makes the tasks seem less daunting and the feeling of crossing stuff over is amazing!

2-Break down tasks

If you have to study for a major quiz or exam what I resorted to doing is to break down the portion into 5 slides or a specific number of pages.

3-Remove all distractions

NEVER SAY that you have the will power to resist temptations and distractions. Your will power decreases throughout the day and it is so much mental effort resisting temptations. So it is better to keep the distractions at hay side.

• Study at a designated spot with your phone switched off and far away.
• Install StayFocusd or something similar to block social media webistes while you're studying.

4-Plan out some fun activities

At the end of the day, this is your break and it is very nice to be looking forward to a nice poetry night or trying out that new restaurant with your friends.

Have a nice break, everyone !
