I hope everyone is enjoying their spring break whether it is being spent relaxing at home, visiting with friends and family or escaping to warmer climates! Upon your return, you may find it difficult to get back on track and stay focused through the end of the school year. I have created a list of 5 things that you can do to stay focused and engaged. 1.Get organized The last couple of months of school can be chaotic. The best way to handle this is to get (or stay) organized. Create a calendar with important upcoming events such as class schedule, due dates and state testing. Update the calendar daily. Remember to add in time to complete projects and make time for studying. Plan ahead so you don’t have to cram! I find a sense of accomplishment when I get to put a big black X on completed events. 2.Don’t look too far ahead While creating your calendar remember it is important to take things day by day. Our schedules can become overwhelming when we take a look at the big picture. Look individually at each day on your calendar as they approach. 3.Stay healthy It is important to take care of yourself. Remember to eat healthy, get good sleep and work in some exercise. It is so easy to get buried in our work and overlook a healthy snack and lunch. Eating small meals throughout the day is best. Try to work in some carrot sticks and fresh fruit! Attending school online, we sometimes over look exercise. Plan 5 minutes in between classes to get up and get moving and/or take a walk during lunch. 4.Get some vitamin D The weather is warming up and the sun is shining! Get outside and take advantage of it! Find a quiet spot and set up shop. I like to go out on my deck and spend the day working outside! 5.Find support Get yourself a cheering section. There are people who believe in you and want to help you succeed. You may want to talk to your fellow classmates, teachers, parents or friends about goals you would like to achieve. Have them hold you accountable for achieving those goals. I am always much more successful when people know what I want to get done because I don’t want to disappoint them!
