Rollover Finals Week Productivity to your holiday break?
Finals week has come and gone for me. A total of 9 days of preparation including countless theses all revised ~12 times each, countless practice problems, and bunches of Facebook status updates to complain about finals week to fit in amongst your fellow, struggling students.
So the natural question arises: What if you tried this hard all the time? Well, try this holiday break since it gives you a good controlled, experiment to see the results that can arise from focus and productivity. The holiday break for most university students is a forever long period of couch, TV, drinking, eating, and repeating. While relaxing, is it really desirable?
My answer is no, so I’m planning on bringing some of my finals week productivity to the holiday to get ahead – novel concept indeed. Working hard and playing hard will be my motto this break and it can be yours too, and if you’re not satisfied at the end forget this post.
So what can you do to actually be productive? A lot –>
- Plan or start a business
- Start reading for upcoming classes
- Work
- Plan your future career/study abroad
- Apply for scholarships
- Make summer plans
- Find Summer internships if applicable
While it’s easier to just ignore this post and repress all your work until later, I promise you that there is enough free time during break to get some real work done 5+ hours a day while still partying it up with your friends and family. Nevertheless, have an enjoyable break, think of some new years’ resolutions, and get a going on a startup since you won’t have any job offers after graduation anyways with the current economy.
