Homework, Stress, and Time Management

Today's post is based upon the principle that life can get hard and sometimes you just need a little time to yourself. Sometimes it is tough to keep going with your school work. Procrastination begins to set in and it corrupts your work ethic without your consent. But when that happens here are a few tips to keep you sane this semester:

1. Taking Breaks

Taking Breaks is never a bad thing. It can be beneficial and help you keep your work going. Sometimes enough is enough and you can't work any longer so you need a little break so you don't go insane. It's okay that you need that break every once in a while because everyone does. When I take a break I usually listen to music, maybe dance around my room a little, even sing til my heart is content. I find that surfing Spotify for new music to love is a great way to take a study break. Music is my kryptonite so it is the perfect release when I need one. So when your brain feels like it can't work any longer, find your fuel, and kryptonite, to keep you going til the very end.

2. Give Yourself Incentives

Incentives are pretty awesome and can give you the motivation to get your work done faster. Whether it's that you will get to hang out with your friends when you are done or that ice cream that you bought last weekend that's sitting in your fridge just waiting for consumption. What? Is that last one just me? You know what, a little ice cream never killed anyone, in fact it can even save your grade by getting you to get your homework done! These aren't the only incentives you can use. Maybe your incentive is cookies, or gummy bears, or watching the next episode of your favorite show on pinterest. Who knows? It could be anything. All I know is that it might get you one step closer to finishing that dreadful assignment that you have spent way too much time giving the evil eye.

3. Remember Sleep

Don't forget to sleep in the midst of your homework mountain. Sleep is really important and a sleepy student gets little homework done in a timely manner. I know from experience because when your energy is low and you have that homework assignment due soon looming over your head it is easy to say that you will go to bed later. That if you finish it now you can sleep later.

 These are just three of my tips to stay on track in college, there will be more posts featuring my friends coming about this later. Have an amazing day lovelies!
