Perhaps is to join a new club, spend more quality time in the library or it could be as simple as going to class on time. Keep the goals simple, but make sure they are SMART.

Plan your budget early Think about your expenditure early. You may be tempted to burn through those summer earnings on nights out. Re-check your bank balance against expenses such as living costs, public transport, food and entertainment. Make sure to keep an eye out for student deals. You can still eat healthy on a budget, it just needs a bit of planning. Part-time jobs can be useful too.

Stock your locker with snacks. Keep a few snacks in your locker that won't go bad. That way, if you're ever hungry throughout the day you can just grab a bag and not have to worry about your grumbling stomach interrupting the class.

Give back. Every time you help someone else, you'll end up feeling good. Check out opportunities at your school, local community centre, or look online. There are so many ways to give back, whether it's donating to a food drive, or volunteering your time at an after-school program. This way you will not only feel content with life but you also will enhance your leadership skills.

WAKE UP EARLIER. If you rise one hour earlier than usual each day, you will be shocked at how much you can get accomplished in a week. Additionally, rising at the same time each day stabilizes your circadian rhythm. Having a steady circadian rhythm, allows you to become more productive during the daytime because you will be energetic and alert. 38 CO-EDS OCTOBER 2016

RACE THE CLOCK. Competition is a great motivator, so setting a timer even for just 10 minutes can boost productivity. Racing the clock also quashes procrastination, since 10-minute blocks seem less devastating than an entire project. Working with a sprint mentality enables us to focus fully for short periods. Also, schedule a few minutes to shift out of task mode before moving on to the next project.

PRIORITIZE.

Whether it's a walk around the block, a run to the nearby coffee shop, reading a magazine or visiting with a colleague, taking short breaks that are unrelated to your work can make a huge difference in your performance. Your productivity diminishes the longer you go without a break. After a certain point, your body and mind simply cannot produce any more.

EXERCISE BEFORE WORK.

We know smartphones are great for when you have to wait in OLQH IRU PRUH WKDQ Ă€YH VHFRQGV Nevertheless, phone tapping during work periods often just means about a hundred unearned breaks. Of course, some jobs require constant access to your phone. But PRVW RI WKH WLPH \RX¡G EH EHWWHU off accepting that nothing bad will happen if you disconnect for a few hours. Put your phone in a different room, out of reach, out of sight and out of mind.

Checking your Facebook alerts and reading a text might seem like a harmless action that takes not PRUH WKDQ ÀYH VHFRQGV but doing this really snaps you out of your zone of concentration, which you will take a while to get back into.

TAKE SHORT BREAKS.

6RPHWLPHV ZH FDQ¡W KDYH D SURGXFWLYH GD\ EHFDXVH ZH MXVW GRQ¡W know where to start. When that is the case, the simplest solution is to list everything you need to get accomplished, and then prioritize these tasks based on importance and urgency.

QUIT TAPPING ON THAT PHONE.

REMOVE ALL TEMPTATIONS.

Hitting the gym before KHDGLQJ WR WKH RIĂ€FH can start the workday on a productive note. You can think better for two hours after aerobic activity since more glucose and oxygen gets to the brain. However, do not stop moving once you are on the job. Do a few jumping jacks in a closed conference room before an important presentation RU SDFH LQ \RXU RIĂ€FH during a phone meeting because “the brain loves it.â€?

Wearing headphones doesn't always mean you're antisocial. When working, listening to your favorite tunes can help you get into the zone and knock out your to-do list. It also sends a subtle signal to your co-workers that you would prefer not to be disturbed.

STOP TRYING TO MULTITASK. Doing more than one thing at a time may seem like the best way to get all of your tasks done, but it can hurt your productivity more than it helps. Multitasking simply doesn't work, and when you do, you end up wasting time.

Ava joins a book group, not only for her love of reading but also out of sheer desperation for companionship. The group's goal throughout the year is for each member to present the book that matters most to them. Ava rediscovers a mysterious book from her childhood?one that helped her through the traumas.

GAME REVIEWS 8/10 Great

DEUS EX: MANKIND DIVIDED 5/10 Mediocre

METROID PRIME: FEDERATION FORCE 3DS Federation Force has some neat ideas, but they’re soured by an impotent and boring primary weapon that sucks the enjoyment out of shooting and a bewildering lack of special ammunition that might’ve brought variety to the action. Due to a painfully imbalanced single-player experience co-op with friends is really the only viable way to play it, and even then it’s not really recommended.

PC Aside from the smaller-feeling plot, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided improves upon its excellent predecessor in every other way. Its impeccably designed LU]PYVUTLU[Z HYL Å\ZO ^P[O WVZZPIPSP[` remaining completely coherent while supporting a wide variety of routes and character builds, and Jensen’s prodigious new feats of technowizardry make add new dimension to both combat and exploration. Mankind Divided never stopped challenging me or rewarding my curiosity, which pushed me to thoroughly explore its beautiful, ruined world while carefully weighing my decisions along the way.

NO MAN'S SKY PS4

ABZU PC AND PS4 Abzu takes the graceful feel of movement and subtle push toward discovery that I’ve enjoyed in similar exploration games like Journey and Flower and builds a refreshing-yet-simple underwater adventure around it. The colorful settings, beautiful soundtrack, and basic controls made it a great experience that constantly piqued my interest, even if it never challenged me to master it other than deciphering its cryptic environmental clues. Instead, Abzu relishes in giving you freedom to simply enjoy exploring the fascinating deep blue sea.

Its gameplay is underdeveloped and repetitive, and in my dozens of hours played it’s introduced very few new ideas to mix up its crafting, upgrades, combat, or universe.
