You have bags under your eyes, you're drowning in deadlines, and you feel like giving up. It's the end of the semester and you have to make it to finals week. I don't know about you but I am counting down the days until the end of the semester. Here are some ways that you can ease your way towards the end of the semester.
Manage your time.
Using your time wisely is very crucial at the end of the semester. One slip up can cost you your grade and your sanity. When you find yourself straying away from being productive try to start something else on your list of things to do. When I find myself not working on an assignment I clean my suite or start another assignment so I won't have to worry about it later. Setting an alarm can be extremely helpful when it comes to time management. I tend to lose track of time during my breaks when I take naps, eat lunch, or hang out with my friends. Time can fly by when you and your friends are catching up on all the latest tea from the past week. To avoid losing track I set an alarm for me to know that I should start doing my assignments.
Find out what your distraction is.
Whether it's scrolling on social media for hours or binge watching your favorite show on Netflix you should stay far away from your distraction. If your phone is what distracts you put it on airplane mode. Trust me that YouTube tutorial or Instagram post can wait. Your distraction is going to cause you to waste more time, and we all know time is important. As odd as this may sound my distraction is sleeping. I will sleep for hours knowing that I should be doing work. To avoid catching up on z's I sit in the living room away from my bed to work on my assignments. This helps me to be more productive. Try to find something that will work for you. Once you find out what your distraction is, try your absolute hardest to cut it off.
Take a break.
Taking a break from being productive is just as important as doing your work.Give yourself time to relax. Sometimes when you are constantly doing work it gets hard to concentrate.Try to do something like hanging out with your friends or taking a walk. Make sure to eat a healthy snack and drink some water to refresh your mind. This will also help you to think of new ideas for your assignment. Make sure you eventually get back to your assignments. Too much relaxation can lead to you being unproductive.
With that being said make sure to stay on top of your game. Hang in there, the semester is almost over. You're almost to the finish line.
