Social interactions, discussing content, doing exercise, having reasonable expectations for yourself, keeping hydrated, good sleep, spending time outside and overall incorporating the 12 rocks of wellbeing into your daily habits.

What helps me is that I get up on time and get dressed and prepare for what I need to do in my lessons. I create my workspace. Sometimes when the teacher lets us go early, I stay really focused and try and finish the work in time.

Keep a daily checklist so that I know what I must achieve everyday (example below) .
