Eat and sleep well
Whether you’re
trying to cram for an exam or finish an assignment it’s tempting to stay up all
night in the hope that you’ll end up better for it. In reality though this just
isn’t the case! Getting a decent amount of sleep can work wonders for your
concentration and you wont supper the next day for it. Eating regularly and healthily
is also important when doing work as it powers your brain and also affects your
concentration!
Give yourself breaks
Ever work for
so long that you can no longer focus? That probably means a break is in order!
Whether you take 15 minutes to have a snack or go for a walk, focusing on
something else for a while can give your brain a rest so that when you get back
to work you feel more refreshed and ready to get back to it.
Think positively
Negative
thoughts can have a really detrimental impact on how you do. It’s easy to say ‘think
positive!’ but if you don’t believe in what you’re doing and yourself you’re
probably not going to do your best. Taking a few moments to reflect and think
about the good things can really help.
Exercise
By exercise we
don’t mean go and run a marathon, but a short walk or trip to the gym can
really help with stress levels. Exercise releases endorphins which help to relax
the body and mind and help when you are doing your work or revising.
Focus on yourself
It’s so easy
to fall into the trap of talking to others about how they are doing but this
can just leave you feeling behind or like you’re doing something wrong. Try to
focus on your own work and remember it’s never a race! Sometimes taking your
time can work out a lot better for you!
Breathe
Last but by
no means least, remember to breathe. Setting aside a couple of minutes just to focus
on your breathing and mindfulness can really help you to relax and concentrate
far better on your work.
We hope these
tips help you to do the best you can!
