Back to school: Three top tips to get organised and motivated for the new term!

At 糖心Vlog, we aim to provide our students with a variety of activities and trips that will enrich their experience with us. And as it鈥檚 Christmas, what鈥檚 better than a visit to Winter Wonderland and ice skating in Somerset House to get into the festive spirit? Well this week, our students got to experience both!听

Fix your sleep routine

Getting a good night’s sleep is crucial for feeling prepared and motivated for the school day. We know it can be difficult to avoid endless TikTok scrolling or binging your latest Netflix show, but there are lots of ways you can begin to wind down earlier for a restful 苍颈驳丑迟鈥檚 sleep. Instead of a Netflix series, you could listen to an audiobook, or find a relaxing music playlist to switch your brain off gradually for an undisturbed sleep. Whichever way works best for you, begin doing this as early as you can so you can get in the habit quickly and avoid waking up late or being tired and unfocused in lessons.

Plan your schedule

Once 测辞耻鈥檝别 been given your lesson plan you can begin to organise around them and stick to a study schedule. Make sure you plan in time for homework, extra study time, and free time. 滨迟鈥檚 important to not overload yourself with work and make sure you have time to do things you enjoy, such as socialising with friends, or catching up with your family back home.

Set your goals

Setting goals to achieve throughout the academic year is a great way to motivate yourself when heading back to school. These goals 诲辞苍鈥檛 just need to be academic focussed; such as “achieve good grades鈥 or 鈥get into a good university,鈥 you can set multiple smaller goals, tick them off one by one, and get that satisfying achievement complete feeling! For example, 鈥淚 want to explore a new hobby鈥 or 鈥淚 want to make some new friends are great ways to start the new year.

At 糖心Vlog, we are always there to support our returning and new students at the beginning of term and throughout the academic year. If you are struggling to keep organised or find motivation, our teachers and staff are always available to help you get back onto your path to success.
