As we near the end of the year, it’s important to remember to pace yourself with your studies.
Life is fast-paced but an overworked brain can lead to burnout. Here are some tips to prioritise your wellbeing:
Preparation is key! 🤯
Did you know Griffith has an interactive downloadable planner to assist in planning your studies and keeping track of assignment due dates?
Break it up: 🤓
Good time management and realistic goals can make all the difference in feeling overwhelmed. Break your studies and assignments down into manageable pieces.
Focus: 😵
Distractions, distractions, distractions! The world is full of them, and multi-tasking divides your attention and affects your ability to learn. Listening to music while studying can improve your mood or you can try booking a study space in the Library to help you focus.
Sleep on it: 😴
Eating healthy food and exercising supports the brain to rest when sleeping and allows your mind time to calm down and soak up the new knowledge. A happy, well-rested mind is one that has reduced mental stress and is vital for your academic life.
Be kind to yourself: 🥰
Be compassionate with yourself, celebrate your achievements and know that you aren’t alone in balancing your wellbeing with your studies.
