8 Ways to manage your studies over Christmas break
Plan your time -
Only you know how much you’ve got to do and the deadlines you have. Make the most of your break by planning when you want to get your work done – and sticking to it.
Create your own study space - Whether you are returning back to your old bedroom or prefer spending time working on your kitchen table – make sure you have a proper desk or a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed.
Ask your friends and family for help - If you need an extra set of eyes to proofread your assignment or to test you on certain questions, asking your friends or family for help is a great use of time.
Set yourself goals - You could set mini goals to achieve at the end of each day – or instead weekly goals. By doing so, you’ll have a clear plan of action and once you hit those self-made targets, you’ll feel amazing.
Set up a regular time to do some studying - Combat the problem by setting up a regular time every day or every other day when you'll get out and crack down on your organized notes and your well-planned to-do list.
Treat yourself - The lead-up to Christmas and the festive season itself can be a busy time, but it is so important to take breaks and to treat yourself – whether that’s by watching your favorite show, treating yourself to a festive snack or drink, or simply meeting up with friends.
Welcome, a change of environment -Trying to study in the house when there’s so much festivity going on isn’t the most conducive environment for productivity. Try getting out to a quieter environment, such as your local library or coffee shop, where you can really focus and have fewer distractions.
Make studying fun and interesting –you could even turn it into a game for yourself or create a playlist with music to help you study and stay focused.
