I always find that I can get a bit stuck in a rut with my work and end up procrastinating to the point where I crumble into stress and sorrow. But fear not, here are some tips from my stressed self to you:

DO SOMETHING YOU LOVE

Be it spending time with your family/friends/partner/cat or just hanging out on the internet do something that will distract you from the overwhelming feeling of not having done anything productive.

DRINK SOME WATER AND GET YOURSELF A SNACK

You can’t work if you’re not looking after yourself properly. I find that even being slightly dehydrated makes me sluggish and disinterested. Also make sure you are getting enough sleep.

FIND SOMETHING EASY TO START ON

There’s no point in starting hardcore and burning yourself out after half an hour or giving yourself too big a task and not wanting to start it. Break your work down into small chunks and start with the easiest one. Once you get going you can start on the harder stuff.

FIND SOMEONE TO SUPPORT YOU

A friend or family member etc. can support you and help to give you words of encouragement. Sometimes some reassurance that everything is going to be ok is enough to help relieve the pressure you put on yourself and encourage you to give it a go.

REWARD YOURSELF

Once you’ve done your task give yourself a rest and reward yourself. Jelly beans on the textbook pages, an episode of a tv show after a long study session etc. Your brain needs to change to a more relaxed state in order to properly absorb the information you’ve given it and to stop you from pushing yourself too hard. 2 hours of effective studying in the library is better than sitting in the library all day on your phone.
