The last month of the semester came with a punch. Deadlines are piling up and procrastination seems to be winning over actually completing assignments. Motivations have been thrown in the garbage.

But go dust that thing off and take a deep breath. Here are five super simple ways to motivate yourself at the end of the semester. It’s crunch time, but you can’t let stress win.

1. Getting organized

Before you even start, get yourself organized. Make lists of the assignments that you need to get done and don’t forget about menial tasks, too. The last thing you’re going to want to see when you’re stressed is a pile of dishes or an overflowing garbage can.

Figure out if you want to accomplish your work easiest-to-hardest or hardest-to-easiest. Everyone is different, so figure out which order works best for you. There’s something really satisfying about crossing items off a list.

2. Reward systems

When that paper you have due at 11:59 P.M. is starting to look more and more impossible, create a reward system. After every paragraph, you allow yourself to eat a piece of candy, or when you finish a page, you leave your room for five minutes and take a walk.

When you finally complete an assignment, binge-watch all the YouTube videos you’ve been queuing up. When you finally finished everything for that day: Netflix.

3. Music

I depend on music to work, and my mood changes constantly. Open up whatever you use to listen to music and figure out what will work for you. It could change based on the assignment or time of day.

But the more excited and focused the music makes me, the quicker I finish assignments and the better their quality.

4. Food and sleep

There is absolutely no reason to stay up chugging Five-Hour Energy to finish a project or study for a test. Most of the time, professors are reasonable and if they see you’re struggling but also putting copious amounts of effort into your work, they’re willing to maybe extend a deadline for you. That doesn’t mean you can fall behind on your deadlines and then plead for an extension.

So take the time, get somewhere around eight hours of sleep, and for the love of your own health, don’t forget to eat. I get it, you can get lost in what you’re doing and you don’t realize that hours have passed. Make sure you eat and make sure you’re putting good foods into your body.

5. Breaks

Deadlines could be piling up, the workload could seem like it stacks tall enough to reach space, but everything will get done. You don’t have to work yourself to the bone; you can take breaks. If the paper you’re writing still doesn’t feel like it’s going anywhere, go for a quick walk to get some fresh air. A change of atmosphere can inspire new thinking and ideas.

That math problem that you can’t figure out? Take a breather and move around, leave and come back to it. You might realize that you knew how to solve it the entire time.
