4. Take an 'action break':

- Such as loading the laundry/dishwasher, going for a walk, singing and dancing with the tamariki.

5. Make the rounds:

- On social media. Check in with your friends, colleagues or whānau.
- This makes a great distraction when you are bored, tired or need a break.
- Remember, a bored or tired brain does not learn well.

6. ...but avoid distractions:

- After using your phone, remember to keep it some distance away so you are not constantly reaching for it. It can distract you from your goals if you are not careful!

7. Have a plan:

- Plan your study time, for example: 30 mins of reading, 10 min break, then 30 mins of assessment writing.
- Set a tangible goal, for example: “Today, I will submit that first assessment!”
- Recite a personal mantra, for example: “I can do this”, “I am amazing”.
