How to survive the examination session? Learn a lot and… think about holidays!

It’s a well-known truth: when we have a lot of work or when we’re overtired or depressed it’s a good idea to designate some reward that we’ll get when the busy period will over. It’s a basic trick that helps us to motivate ourselves.
For students the most stressful period is the examination session, of course. This year for example during my repetition to exams I made some plans about next holidays and thought about the last (one of my favourite holiday picture below). Getting some nice plans is a quite good way to reduce stress. But there is one important rule: you have to learn hard first, not only think about reward! And that’s a challenge, because as every student know well, there are a thousands of important things (including flat cleaning!) that you have to do before you sit down… and open books.
