VictoriaE2020 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Current or previous students, what kinds of activities or other things did you do between studying. I know there will be endless material to study, but breaks will be essential to stay sane. Any tips or suggestions for splitting up long study sessions? What worked best for you?

fishbum Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I always preferred sleeping during breaks...though I'm not going to pretend like the breaks were always scheduled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I stayed pretty active in school and during breaks in long study sessions I would re energize myself from staring at a computer or book by going for a short run or doing some pull ups or pushups. Or I'd allow myself time to look at camper vans, dream destinations etc online to keep me motivated. Throwing a ball for my roommate/classmates dog was fun too and she was always stoked to play after the humans had been sitting around studying all day.

mhgutierrez02 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Hi ! I would take breaks often between studying, small breaks would be made up about 15 min -- these breaks i would walk around get some air, check my phone, call my husband etc Long breaks i would go to the gym or nap depending on where i was at mentally. BUT you will need breaks and I felt very strong about them so i always scheduled them ! Listen to your body , you will know if you need a nap, or to step away from the books a bit. Quality of studying over quantity of studying. Any questions message me or follow my blog melissa-gutierrez.simplesite.com Melissa Gutierrez MPAS , PA-C .
