HEALTHY STUDY HABITS

Your study space

Breaks • Take breaks: Your brain needs a rest! • But resting is not using your tired brain for other activities which require cognitive effort – e.g. gaming. Time with devices might be a reward, but make sure that it is separate from breaks after which you will need to concentrate again.

• When learning a lot of material, take mini breaks. For example, five minutes every 45 minutes, like lessons. This can be good for motivation but don’t

interrupt your flow or add a break when you are doing a past paper. Then take longer breaks.
