For many college students in the United States, spring break
time is either now or quickly approaching.
And, if you are anything like me this means days of planning to do work
without ever actually doing the work.
So, how do we stay productive over spring break while still enjoying
that much needed vacation?
1. Don’t plan too
much. This goes double if you have actually planned a real vacation over spring
break instead of just hanging around. I
know that there is a lot you want to do, but know yourself and your likelihood of
actually getting to it. If you plan too
much, then you will probably feel over whelmed and not get to any of it.
2. Plan to get to
those things you never have time to get to.
When you have the excess time that spring break needs doing tasks such
as: going for a run, reading a book, calling your grandmother or painting your
nails is a perfectly okay use of your hours.
Know that spring break is there to “sharpen your saw” so to speak.
3. If possible, set
one large goal. Maybe, work on one
school project, or read one book. This allows
you to have time freed up for the fun of spring break.
4. Don’t put too much
stress. You are allowed a dead week now
and then. Just make sure you get back to
normal when you return.
