Studying to much

River

So basically I started getting high grades in maths and now I can’t stop studying and it’s getting out of hand when I’m doing 3 past papers a day 😭 I can’t stop

Ah @Rose113 , I hear you. It sounds like studying is feeling really all-consuming right now, to the point where its very hard to pull yourself away or stop.

What's driving that feeling of needing to keep studying? I wonder if it's excitement / enjoyment? Maybe stress / pressure? What's happening for you?

Personally for me, when I'm struggling to get a balance with my studies I find using my phone timer super helpful to break up my study sessions. E.g., I will try to follow the Pomodoro study technique (have you heard of it?) Its where you'll study for 25 mins, then take a 5 min break. Then 25 more mins. Then a longer break.

You deserve to take rest-breaks too! What do you think you'd like to do after studying today to unwind?
