Study break ideas

long breaks:
• take a shower
• go for a run or to the gym
• get some lunch/dinner (invite another friend who may also need a study break)
• take a nap
• watch *ONE* Netflix episode. I don’t recommend watching more than one because before you know it, now you’re procrastinating
• organize your room

short breaks:
• stretch
• grab coffee (or tea)
• wash your face
• grab a snack and walk around while eating it
• check your social media accounts
• call your significant other (or friend)
• watch a short episode of a documentary or a TED Talk
• as cheesy as it may sound: reflect. close your eyes and reflect on anything that is related to academia, personal life, or your professional life and develop a short, realistic plan on how to improve it. this is how I mostly work on my self development and growth ☼
