Getting Back on Track: Tips for Students after the Christmas Break

The holiday break is a time for relaxation and rejuvenation, when families get together and celebrate Christmas and New Year. After clan reunions, Noche Buena, and Simbang Gabi, it can also be a time when students lose focus and fall behind in their studies.

  • Set realistic goals: Before you start tackling your to-do list, take some time to set realistic goals for yourself. What do you want to accomplish in the next few weeks? What do you need to do to get there? Setting clear, measurable goals will help you stay focused and motivated as you work through your studies.
  • Prioritize your tasks: Once you’ve set your goals, take some time to prioritize your tasks. What assignments and projects are due soon? What do you need to work on first? Prioritizing your tasks will help you stay organized and focused as you work through your studies.
  • Create a schedule: A schedule is a great way to keep track of your tasks and stay on top of your studies. Plan out your study time, including breaks and free time, to help you stay on track and avoid procrastination.
  • Get organized: Take some time to get organized and tidy up your study space. A clean, organized workspace will help you stay focused and motivated as you work through your studies.
  • Seek help when needed: If you’re struggling to understand a concept or complete an assignment, don’t hesitate to seek help. Bahay Turo teachers are here to support you and will be more than happy to help you get back on track. Click here to book a session today.
  • Avoid multitasking: With the amount of information and distractions available, it’s easy to multitask and lose focus. Kids (and adults!) can easily get distracted with Roblox, Discord, YouTube, and the like. Focus on one task at a time and give it your full attention. Limit time spent on apps by using a timer. This will help you to be more productive and retain information better.
  • Take care of yourself: Remember to take care of yourself both physically and mentally. Get enough sleep, eat well, and take some time for yourself to relax and recharge. When you take care of yourself, you’ll be better equipped to tackle your studies.

By setting realistic goals, prioritizing tasks, creating a schedule, getting organized, seeking help when needed, avoiding multitasking and taking care of yourself, you can get back on track and achieve your academic goals.
