How to Organise Your Studies for Success
There is a phrase called ‘Decision Fatigue’ which may be weighing you down. I first heard about this procrastination phenomenon in a talk by Kerwin Rae. It is based on the principle that we spend so much time thinking about what to do, instead of doing what we wanted in the first place, that we waste time. How can we stop being unsure what to study and just start studying? It is never too late to organise your time! One approach is to divide your module across calendar weeks available and then split those into days. 
Balancing Health and Studies
In the throes of academia, it’s all too easy for students to become consumed by deadlines, assignments, and the pursuit of success. However, while the aspiration to excel academically is commendable, there is a crucial factor that often gets overshadowed: health. Both mental and physical well-being are paramount to a student’s success, and in this article, we delve into why it’s essential and how to maintain it

Balancing Health and Studies

In the throes of academia, it’s all too easy for students to become consumed by deadlines, assignments, and the pursuit of success. However, while the aspiration to excel academically is commendable, there is a crucial factor that often gets overshadowed: health. Both mental and physical well-being are paramount to a student’s success, and in this article, we delve into why it’s essential and how to maintain it.

1. The Link Between Health and Academic Performance Studies have consistently shown a direct correlation between a student’s health and their academic performance. Adequate sleep, regular exercise, and a balanced diet can boost cognitive functions, improve memory, and enhance concentration. On the flip side, neglecting these can lead to fatigue, reduced alertness, and even mood disorders.

2. Mental Health Matters The pressures of academic life can sometimes be overwhelming, leading to stress, anxiety, and in severe cases, depression. Mental health should never be sidelined. A clear mind can process information faster, handle stress more effectively, and remain focused on tasks.

Tips for Maintaining Mental Well-being:

  • Practice Mindfulness and Meditation: Even a few minutes a day can help reduce stress and increase your mental clarity.
  • Seek Support: If you’re feeling overwhelmed, speak to someone. This could be a friend, family member, or a professional counsellor.

3. The Role of Physical Health Physical activity is not just about keeping fit or looking good. It plays a vital role in releasing endorphins, the body’s natural mood lifters. Moreover, a well-balanced diet provides the essential nutrients that fuel the brain and body.

Tips for Staying Physically Healthy:

  • Regular Exercise: This doesn’t mean hitting the gym every day. Simple activities like walking, cycling, or even taking the stairs can make a difference.
  • Eat Right: Incorporate a balance of protein, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. And remember to stay hydrated!
  • Get Adequate Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep. It’s the body’s way of recharging and plays a critical role in memory consolidation.

4. Balancing Act Balancing studies with health might seem daunting, but it’s all about creating a routine that works for you. Remember, it’s okay to take breaks. In fact, short breaks during study sessions can boost productivity and retention.

Conclusion, Qualifi’s centres understand the challenges our students face, and we champion a holistic approach to education. Balancing health and studies is not just about ensuring academic success; it’s about cultivating a lifestyle that will serve students in the years to come, both professionally and personally. After all, a healthy student is a successful student.
