Check yourself before you wreck yourself!
Wake up early. Not as early as during school term - term break is not a time to be waking up at 6am daily - but not at noon either. Aim for around 8-10am, so you’re not sleepy af when you start work, and you haven’t slept half the day away.
Slacken a little. Don’t overwork yourself!! I find a good method is to restrain your studying time to within your normal school hours (8am-6pm for me - which gives plenty of time to relax and watch tv shows in the evening), and study for about 2/3 of that time. This way you’ll still have covered at least several hours of work, but won’t feel exhausted :) (oh yes, if possible review your notes before sleeping to make them stick)
Scheduling. Have a masterlist of tasks to complete/goals to achieve during the break. Work out a rough estimate on how many days are needed to do complete all you have to do, and spread your tasks out evenly, preferably by weeks. Remember to work around your dates with friends (or significant others)/vacations! Keep to your goals so you have more free days :))
Study groups. During breaks it’s much much easier to arrange study sessions with friends. It’ll feel a lot less like you’re wasting your break, and you can catch meals with them before/after/during your session, so you’ll enjoy your study days more.
Go out/invite in/chill. It’s term break!!! Go out with your friends/get them to come over!! Or if you prefer having some alone time, have the day to yourself. At least 1 every 4 days, more if possible! If you’re part of a group activity that trains frequently, this can be skipped, but shouldn’t be.
my week in bags : first week of school.
Hate that horrible silence while you’re working/studying? Perhaps your music is annoying you? Or maybe you just want to relax. Try these to help you fill the silence:
Coffitivity - Coffee shop environement stimulator
RainyMood - Sounds of rain
USS Enterprise - Engine hum
Celestial - Sounds like airplane engines
Fireplace - Sounds of a crackling fire
Nature - Forest sounds
Oceanside - Waves Crashing
Train - Sounds from onboard a train
MyNoise - Customazible background noises
Try these out and you’ll feel yourself focusing a little more.
Thanks for all the suggestions. If you have more, just send me a fan mail!

techniques for studying and learning
6/9/2016 I was in Portland OR for a few hours and stopped by Powel’s to get two books. The Micron, charcoals, and notebook are from an art store in my town. I then sat outside and started my first bullet journal. I am really enjoying journaling.
my bullet journal + key for study-stressed-hermione
I found what works best for me by writing down the most useful symbols from bullet journals I’ve seen around tumblr and adapting them to suit my own preferences and needs! Hope this helps x
Hey! I like to prepare classes with my computer. And I want tell you few useful apps for education.
