Holidays are fun! But after all the binge eating, sleeping until noon, and doing nothing all day long, it can be challenging to get back into your school routine.
Here’s how you can return to school at your most capacity after the break:
1. Get quality rest. Pick relaxing activities that will allow you to really recharge. For example, meditation, long walks, or a day spa.
2. Stay healthy. This involves sleeping an appropriate amount of time, exercising, and making better food choices whenever possible.
3. Avoid procrastination. Find some low-effort tasks that will keep you busy without draining all your energy. You declutter your room, for example, or organize your school notes.
4. Distribute the homework. Don’t do all your break assignments at once. Instead, arrange them with equal intervals, giving bigger papers more completion time by scheduling them first.
5. Use brain-training apps and sites. Keep your cognitive abilities sharp by doing simple gamified exercises on your phone or laptop. Look for apps like Elevate, Peak, Lumosity, and Fit Brains Trainer.
