5 Easy Summer Productivity Tips

Hey guys,  I have recently realised that I have wasted a hell of a lot of my extensive summer. I finished school back in June and to be honest, I haven't really done a lot since then. So, in an effort to stop procrastinating, I have included some new things into my daily life to help me be more productive. 1. Get a planner. Throughout the school year, I always have a planner and write down everything I need to do during the day. Why have I never thought of keeping one during the summer? I find when I physically write down a to do list, I am much more likely to get stuff done. 2. Have a timetable.   This one will probably be more controversial. Now, I'm not saying plan out your entire day minute by minute. However, if you say to yourself 'I am going to read one chapter of my Literature text at 8 pm' and write it down, it will make sure you stay on top of things and get them done. 3. Have fun.   Go outside, spend time with family and friends and do thing...

The Day Before GCSEs | Thought Bubble

Hey guys I take my first GCSE exam on Tuesday. In some ways, I am terrified. The thought that two years of solid hard work could all go down the drain if I have a bad day is scary. I have bombed mock exams in the past so I know what it feels like to walk out of the exam hall feeling like it's all gone wrong. But to do that on the real exams would be devastating. However, I am feeling reasonably calm. I started revising pretty much since the start of year 10. I have done past paper after past paper, made thousands of flashcards (quite literally) and have covered my walls in revision from floor to ceiling. I feel prepared. This is strange. I always thought I would be really stressed in the run up to exams. But honestly, it's a day before and I'm feeling fine. Last week, I posted a list of non-school related things that I wanted to achieve during the exam period. I have already started on some of them. It feels nice to allow myself time off despite t...

5 things to do before a new school term

Hello In England, the school year is split into 3 terms and 6 half terms. At the end of each term there is a two week break. At the end of this break I like to do a few things to get ready for the new term. 1. Sort out my pencil case. At the end of the term, I am usually left with a pencil case full of pens that don't work. So I just swap out the old ones with new ones. The last thing you want is to go back to school after Christmas with 7 pens that have all run out. 2. Re-organise my school stuff. I put all of my books in one place, stock up on equipment, put revision in folders etc. 3. Tidy my bedroom. Completely sort it out. I get rid of all of the things that I don't use or don't need and re-organise everything else.This only needs to be done 3-4 times per school year. 4. Get a lot of sleep. After all, it is the holidays. I tend to loose a lot of sleep during the school week so I try to get as much sleep as humanly possible in the holidays. 5. Quickly review...
