Time Management

Incorporate time management techniques into your study routine. You can study for 20 minutes and take a 5-minute break after that to relax and evaluate your headspace. Some people use ANIMEDORO, in which they watch a 20 minutes episode and then study for an hour.

Relaxing Activity

After complete exhaustion, try and better yourself by completing a relaxing hobby. Draw, paint, listen to music, etc. You can open Netflix and watch their latest shows too.

Journalling

Write down what you feel. Writing down emotions help you understand them better and get an idea of how to go about after. A perfect example is Diary of a Wimpy Kid, journalling being a coping mechanism.

Breathing Exercises

Adding breathing exercises and yoga to your routine will help clear your mind and relax your joints, which might be tense from exhaustion
