I don’t really have anything to blog about so I’m just gonna talk about how I have been doing lately, spoiler alert, not good.\u00a0 With many deadlines fast approaching and my motivation getting increasingly lower I am not sure I can keep up.\u00a0 Our literary portfolios are due this week and I’m still not finished and I am struggling for motivation.\u00a0 I’m struggling to just have the energy to get out of the bed and do something.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

I’m trying to combat this with things I enjoy.\u00a0 The other day I watched shows with my friend over discord.\u00a0 It was a nice time to just relax and take my mind off of things.\u00a0 Sometimes you just need to take a break, and that is fine.<\/p>\n

Working yourself to death won’t do anything but make your work look rushed.\u00a0 Taking breaks is essential to keeping yourself productive; and also to your mental health.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Balance is a key element that helps keep yourself in order.\u00a0 A mix of pleasure and work is typically the best course of action to get your work done and not become too overworked.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Try taking a minute to do something you enjoy.\u00a0 It will help in the long run.\u00a0 Talk to your friends, play your favorite video game, maybe just take a snack break, it really doesn’t matter as long as you can take breaks.<\/p>\n

Remember your health is more important than a school assignment, no matter what the school system tries to tell you.<\/p>\n
