Creating a Mental Health Goal
Published
I would like to set a goal for myself to allow myself breaks and to set time aside from school work to give my brain a rest and prevent mental fatigue. Even in just the first week, trying to push myself beyond capacity to race through homework and stay ahead has caused me to crash and burn mid-week. My goal is to allow myself to take 1 hour twice a day for myself, once in the morning and once in the evening, and take incremental breaks for 10-15 minutes using the pomodoro study method. This will ensure that I am fitting in the necessary study time I need while preventing burn out, mental fatigue, and allowing myself to exist outside of school and be a person with hobbies!
