Follow These Easy Steps to Keep Yourself Focused and Happy

#1) Go outside

The air is fresher than it has been in a very long time. Enjoy it!

#2) Keep tidy

When you stay neat, it can be hard to find all the stuff you put away. But it’s always refreshing to see all the space that is suddenly open for you to use. It makes it more interesting to work and it also takes away many distractions that might be laying around your room.

#3) Keep a schedule

Make sure you remember to add breaks and time to eat and drink! Self-care is something very important that is easy to include in our day-to-day.

#4) Stay on top of your work!

It’s too nice outside to spend the whole day catching up. You can spend the same amount of time doing your work as soon as it is assigned than if you procrastinate, minus the panic.

#5) Keep something to write on nearby

You’ll want something to jot ideas on. Especially now, your brain is probably feeling kind of fuzzy. You want to make sure you don’t forget to do something later, so write it down!

#6) Change up your room

Do some remodeling to make your room different. This will help motivate you to use your room and do some work.

#7) Keep time for other human beings

You’ve been stuck inside. I know your teachers (or at least Tami) have been reminding you ceaselessly to go outside and stay connected with other people.

#8) Explore some new music or a podcast

Let’s face it: we all have a lot of time on our hands these days. So spend it exploring the depths of the internet. Everyone will need something new to occupy their time, and you can only listen to something so many times.

#9) Take breaks!

You’re not a robot. Take about fifteen minutes for every hour you spend working. The current schedule does not allow for that much, but it is still important.

#10) Turn off your phone

If you can, make yourself wireless in a whole new sense of the word. It seems like a no-brainer, but it can be hard to commit. ◼️
