It may sound a bit odd. But when you’re most stressed out about studying, I think it’s a good idea to stop and reflect. Why did you start studying for qualifications? Daydream for a few minutes about how you’ll feel when you’re qualified. How will you celebrate? Who will you call? Take a short walk or get some exercise. A change of scene could also help. There’s plenty of other things to try as well. What works for you? I’m always looking for new ways to help Studying Members. So go ahead and spill the beans.

Thanks Jon, these are really great tips. I always schedule 15 minute breaks for every hour of study, and I stick to it.
I couldn’t agree more- plenty of breaks and milestones to help break up the study and reward yourself with something different. A walk round the block, an episode of your favourite soap or even a chat to a friend on the phone about something (anything) other than Marketing will help you feel refreshed.
Being stressed and worried about it is good- to a point- as it means you want it. It must be important to you. Like Jon says, remind yourself why you want it so bad and visualise how you’re going to celebrate.
