The 2023 General election is here and students around the country are thinking to themselves, “Now what am I going to do with all of this free time?” Sure, there are games to play, movies to watch, and friends to hang out with. But there are also plenty of productive things to do during the general election holidays.
Set new goals.
Set new goals for more effective results when you can go back to school. You can set both process and performance goals. Process goals are what you intend to do, while performance goals are what you intend to achieve. So take some time and set 5 to 10 process goals before the holiday is over.
Improve your physical health.
You have more time during the school holidays. So this is a great opportunity to start exercising, eating well and resting. Further, you can work toward a specific athletic goal.
Here are some examples:
- Do 15 pull-ups in 30 seconds
- Do 50 push-ups in 1 minute
- Do 60 sit-ups in 1 minute
- Run a mile in under 7 minutes
Develop healthy habits.
There are possible habits to develop these general election holidays. Nathaniel Emmons once said, “Habit is either the best of servants or the worst of masters. These are possible habits to develop this school holiday:
- Daily reflection
- Reading for 15 minutes before bed
- Keeping a gratitude journal
- Getting on a regular sleep schedule
- Drinking more water
Create checklists.
For the tasks, you perform repeatedly, create checklists so that you’ll save time in the long run. For example, you could create a checklist of the things you ought to do
- Every day when you get home from school
- When you start preparing for an exam
- Every weekend as you prepare for the upcoming week
- When you’re packing your bag
- Before you take an exam
