Well, the weather has been amazing the last few days and I've wanted so much just to be outside in it to relax and enjoy it while it lasts. But with all this revision I know I have to do, I've been finding it difficult to make sure I stick to my revision timetable, which I discussed last week.
The best way to stick to revision is to take regular breaks, even if that does mean going out and enjoying the sunshine. Just make sure you go back in to start the next lot of revision when you next have revision written down for.
If you don't trust yourself with going out in the garden for an allotted amount of time, then put a timer on your phone for that amount of time and when the alarm goes off, pack everything up and tell yourself you'll go back out later. If you like taking walks then go out for a walk that you know will take you 30 minutes to walk to a place and 30 minutes to walk back. Yesterday, I decided enough was enough, I had been cooped up in the house since Friday afternoon and I was driving myself crazy with the thought of being stuck inside until my next lecture, so I decided to get out the house and walked up to the park at the top of the hill and watched the sunset, it really relaxed me and I was able to go home and do a final hour of revision before bed.
If you plan it right you can also have a movie night with your friends. If you ask them early enough they may be able to sort something out to come round. I'm trying to organise something to help my friends de-stress before their exams. I was thinking of a games night, which could incorporate a quiz with questions from our course.
I want to hear your wacky ideas that help you revise and more importantly techniques that help you revise while the weather is as gorgeous as it is now! Either post a comment or email me at the usual sandra.spencelayh.92@gmail.com. Good luck with the revision guys and try not to stress to much about the upcoming exams :)
