Let’s face it- even the most motivated and disciplined students can’t study for a couple of hours straight- we all need to rest. Taking a break from studying every now and then will improve your focus and attention. Below are some of our ideas what to do during study breaks. We divided them into categories depending on the length of your break. Feel free to try them out to later get back to your books refreshed and motivated!
Get some fresh air (either go outside, or simply stand up and go to the nearest window- don’t focus on anything and just breathe)
Leave your room/desk and go for a little walk
Throw yourself a little dance party (Cristina and Meredith did it and trust us, it works- put on some energising music and dace for a song or two)
Make yourself a proper, healthy snack (cut an apple into slices and put peanut butter on every slice or make yourself a healthy smoothie)
Watch a TedTalk on a completely unrelated topic (it will both relax you and still keep your brain working)
Do a little yoga (there are multiple mini-routines on youtube)
Browse the #studyblr tag (or maybe post your own photo with it!)
Take a quick shower (if you have a real study marathon ahead of you, a shower break can be a great way to get energised)
Clean your room (sounds pretty boring, but you’ll feel refreshed and super-productive once you’re done- and you won’t have to do this later!)
Take a nap (but really, try not to make it longer than 40 minutes)
Watch ONE episode of Friends (nothing better than a good laugh, right?)
Workout (go for a 30-minute run or find a workout video on youtube- you’ll end up energised and full of endorphins, which will help you to keep going)
Try a new recipe and make yourself dinner for later
Read a chapter of a book you’re currently reading (if you’re not reading any- start a book)
