FOR SOME OF US, JANUARY MARKED THE END OF THE SEMESTER. CONGRATS! THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO REFLECT ON THE YEAR SO FAR AND TO SET SYSTEMS THAT WILL PREP US FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR! DEAR GLOBALGIRLS HAS COMPILED SOME ADVICE FOR SCHOOL, BALANCE, AND LIFE :)
SET SYSTEMS AS OPPOSED TO GOALS! GOALS ARE GOOD FOR SETTING A DIRECTION, BUT SYSTEMS ARE BEST FOR MAKING PROGRESS. A WELLDESIGNED SYSTEM WILL DRIVE AND CREATE LONG-TERM PROGRESS.
CREATE DAILY TO-DO LIST. ONE THAT IS ACHIEVABLE!! AT THE TOP OF YOUR LIST SHOULD BE YOUR PRIORITIES (WHAT IS DUE THE SOONEST!)
TRY OUT THE POMODORO METHOD. IT'S A TIMING METHOD WHERE YOU WORK FOR 25 MINUTES STRAIGHT AND BREAK FOR 5 MINUTES. IT'S A LOT BETTER THAN SPONTANEOUS BREAKS - WHICH CAN LAST A LOT LONGER.
TAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF!! SOMETIMES, WE FEEL GUILTY GOING OUTSIDE AND SPENDING TIME WITH FRIENDS - BUT IT WILL HELP YOU REFRESH YOUR MIND AND STIMULATE NEW IDEAS!
