Whether it\u2019s spring, summer or fall semester, if you\u2019re enrolled in college classes you know that burnout is a real thing. Taking study breaks can be important, especially while spending additional time at home. Here are some ideas for quick study breaks that take ten minutes or less:<\/p>\n

Take a Walk<\/strong><\/p>\n

Explore your neighborhood, or walk a dog around the block. Fresh air can do wonders, just make sure to practice social distancing while you\u2019re enjoying mother nature.<\/p>\n

Dance Break<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dancing is a great way to relieve stress and lift spirits. So, turn on your favorite song and\u00a0dance like there’s no tomorrow<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Clean<\/p>\n

A quick cleaning break can help you feel productive and accomplished, and it can also make your space more enjoyable.<\/p>\n

Meditate<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are tons of\u00a0short guided meditations online<\/a>. Or you can just turn on some calming music and practice mindful breathing for a couple minutes.<\/p>\n

Make a Call<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everyone needs social interaction, it can help with emotional health and productivity. A quick phone call just to say hello, won\u2019t break any social distancing rules and might be just what you needed.<\/p>\n

Eat a Snack<\/strong><\/p>\n

Healthy snacks are optimal, but comfort food definitely serves serious emotional needs when studying rigorously or\u00a0preparing for finals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is important to do well in your classes, but it is also important to take care of yourself! So remember that it\u2019s okay to take a little break every now and then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
