Just do it! :)

[midwestlaw]

get rid of distractions - just do it. turn off your phone and put it in your backpack. clear your workspace of anything that you don’t need to study. if you have to use your laptop, try an app like SelfControl, StayFocused or Cold Turkey to block distracting websites.

take breaks - sometimes studying for too long can do more harm than good. take short breaks to make tea, eat a snack, or just walk around - anything to give your mind a break! consider trying the Pomodoro technique: work intensively in short bursts with frequent breaks.

change it up - I have a great desk in my room, but sometimes that just doesn’t cut it. trying out new study spots and removing yourself from your home or dorm room (with all its distractions) can really boost your productivity.

make yourself accountable to someone - here’s where your friends will come in handy. if you have to get up early, make plans for breakfast or to meet up to get coffee. if you know you have to finish that essay this weekend, make a study date. when your plans involve someone else, it’s more of a commitment and you’re more likely to follow through. 

set realistic goals - try to keep your to-do lists short and your schedule feasible. know your limits, and give yourself enough time to do what you have to. I will usually take the time I think I need to finish an essay and double it, which I’ve found is more realistic. be honest with yourself - you’ll be a lot happier and more productive.

take care of yourself - pay attention to your mental health - staying happy is so helpful to studying well. so give yourself a bubble bath at the end of the day! go wild on netflix! sit down with that book you’ve been meaning to read! stay hydrated, try to get enough sleep, spend time with friends, and treat yo self. :)

good luck to everyone this semester!!

Report on Remission in Patients with MS 3 Years after Stem Cell Transplant

Read the full article Report on Remission in Patients with MS 3 Years after Stem Cell Transplant at NeuroscienceNews.com.

Three years after a small number of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) were treated with high-dose immunosuppressive therapy (HDIT) and then transplanted with their own hematopoietic stem cells, most of the patients sustained remission of active relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) and had improvements in neurological function, according to a study published online by JAMA Neurology.

The research is in JAMA Neurology. (full open access)

Sorry for me not being very active lately, i've been a bit busy. First of al, I want to wish you an embarrassingly late happy new year. Second, you can see I'm still rocking strokes, exams coming up in 1 and a half week!
