Hey there everyone,
To those who it applies to if your at college or university you will know that its not a easy ride and there is a lot of work that you have to do and meet deadlines. You will often receive a high amount of work to do and sometimes they all have the deadline for the same date which if you leave to last minute can stress you out which is not a good idea.
Tips to follow if you are worrying about the amount you have to do and the time left you have to do it in:
1. Relax- if you are rushing around trying to get it in on time it will not be the best work you can achieve and therefore you may not meet your grade
2. Sleep- when at college or university it is vital that you get at least 8 hours sleep and your not trying to do your work though the night, when you get a good nights sleep you will be fresh and prepared for the next morning
3. Eat- as the pressure mounts and your deadline date is nearing you have to take into consideration your body and have a little time out from your desk to have a good meal in your system as this will help you concentrate more.
4. Time Out- At the weekend is your time to socialise with friends and family which will take your mind away from what your doing through the week it is quite easy to decline a offer of going out and to sit in trying to complete all work. It is much healthier for your body and mind to get out and about been active rather than sitting in all day and night behind a desk.
5. Organise - you should organise everything that you need to in order in a file with what has to be in first with the closest deadline ect. There is nothing worse than trying to look in your bags and in your bedroom for important bits of paper which can contribute to your overall grade.
I hope these 5 will help you in your work and I can see the effect it has on some people when it gets out of hand and then eventually you give up because you cannot take the pressure and that is the worst thing you can do as you could of invested 3 month or 3 years into getting into the course and studying something that you want to do in your future.
Speak soon
Much love
