At this time of year we are all faced with deadlines or revision and it\u2019s important to give your mind a break from studying. One way to do this is to try the Move More tip \u201cuse a printer\/bin\/toilet that\u2019s further away\u201d.<\/p>\n
Initially I thought, how\u2019s this going to work? There are bins and toilets everywhere, which one should I use? But each time I got up I would just pick a new one. I always tend to study at a computer in Laud, so I\u2019d go to Invicta, Ramsey or Powell and just take various routes.<\/p>\n
The great thing I found with this tip is that it gave me a reason to just clear my mind for a few minutes. I hate sitting in front of a computer for hours on end because the words blur into one. More often than not, whatever I\u2019m writing just turns to rubbish after a while! But whenever I got up to find a bin, I would go for a quick walk and force myself to stop thinking about my assignment. Then when I got back I had brand new eyes to go at it with and I would be much more productive. I would also have been a bit more active in my day!<\/p>\n
This tip is so easy to incorporate into day to day life. Even at home I would use the bin in the kitchen downstairs rather than in my room. As much as I battled with myself because I couldn\u2019t be bothered, I would do it anyway. Then I felt better for having got my blood pumping (if only for a few mins)!<\/p>\n
If you’re going to try this tip but it doesn’t really apply to your life, replace the destination. Maybe going to a touchdown further away? Or going to a water dispenser in another building? I\u2019m definitely going to carry on doing this tip. It\u2019s so easy and really helps because it\u2019s like a little mini break with purpose!<\/p>\n
