Time and Stress Management

main image

Stress levels often elevate as examination dates are emerging. It’s highly important to manage your time accordingly. Stress to some extent is good as it helps you stay motivated and focused. Here are some ways which may help you stay motivated and manage your stress levels.

  1. Taking Breaks

Taking breaks is highly important as it prevents over saturation of content you have covered. Taking a walk, watching your favorite tv show, or enjoying nature helps clear up your mind and sets a clear palette for your next task. It’s very important for your brain to relax in order to understand the information you have learned and prevent burnouts.

  1. Formulate a study plan

Formulate a list of goals you would like to achieve by the end of the day. Having a discrete study plan will not only help manage your tasks, it also helps pinpoint goals that have to be prioritized in order to accomplish them. Various resources can be used such as calendars, journals, or even apps can help organize your plans.

  1. Maintain a schedule

Following a proper routine daily is vital in order to create habits of studying, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and help manage your academic pressure. To begin, you have to do the following:

  • Choose a suitable environment to study, a place that has no distractions and will help you stay focused
  • Using the Pomodoro technique, timing your study sessions and breaks help maintain a proper schedule
  • Prepare a checklist of tasks to be completed that day and reward yourself for achieving your daily goals

  1. Maintain Caffeine Levels

Caffeine and energy drinks do keep you awake but overdoses are highly unsafe. Caffeine can lead to restlessness, increased heart rate, and can lead to severe anxiety, as well as affects your concentration abilities. It is highly important to take them in adequate amounts to prevent health problems and keep a proper routine intact.

  1. Study Smart

The most effective way to maintain and achieve your goals is studying smart. Start by using different techniques to retain information such as using flashcards, drawing diagrams, mnemonics to avoid boredom as well as enjoying your study schedule. Along with that, look over case studies and projects that have been worked on related to the topic you have studied and try applying your knowledge to help remember what you have studied. This also helps you realize your interests and prepares you over what career choices you would like making in the future.

6) Don’t compare yourself with others

Everyone has different capabilities, take a look at your own assets, and see your actual worth. You won't be motivated or believe in yourself if you don't have this ability, it is one of the keys to success. Always believe in yourself and never think that you are lower than others. Everybody has moments when they doubt their ability to succeed. The most crucial thing to remember is to never give up. Obstacles are inevitable, but what counts is how you respond to them. Learning to believe in yourself is the first step towards reaching your true goals in life. It requires reflection and serious thinking.
