Balancing Life | Motivational Mondays

Welcome followers! Another motivational mondays, Woohh! One thing I have recently had a reality check about is how to balance your life. Through my eyes, one issue that stands out is organising myself. I struggle to do simple tasks just because I don't have time or I spent to long on my laptop. So I did a tad bit of brain storming and came up with some simple solutions for this. Here we go!

Plan Ahead

Made by me

First, I just want to apologise because of the rubbish quality of the photo above. Rant over, lets get started. With my unorganised self, I struggle to find time to do plenty of small or big things so I decided to make a list of tasks I need to complete. I stick my list on the wall so every time i pass that place in the house, I will be reminded. Personally, I find it amazing how such a simple piece of paper can help me become more organised. However, I still get nagged by my mum sometimes.

Relax

Next, is just relaxing. Having 1 or 2 days (depending on you) a week where you just sit back and don't touch a key on a laptop to type an essay or pick up a pen to answer a homework question. However this is where the 'plan ahead' part comes in. There is no point relaxing on a day where you know you have an exam or 5 essays due in. So plan ahead and write those essays the day before so there is nothing to worry about.

Set Goals

Finally on my list of solutions is setting goals and assertional targets for yourself. For example (in my case), I will tell to myself, 'I will tidy my bedroom today or I will finish this exam question for tomorrow. One key thing to not however, is these goals have to be realistic. there is no point in setting  targets you cannot achieve.

Well I hope these little tips will help you keep yourself more organised and live a more balanced life. A bit of a spoiler but next post on Wednesday will be my thoughts on a well known app.

How To Cope With Exams?

First of all sorry I didn’t post a motivational mondays this week. I had quite a few essays due in so this topic is quite handy.

Made by me

Exams are a stressful time for many. It could be your first you have ever experience or your last. What ever the circumstance may be, one certain fact is it is most definitely not a jolly time. However taunting it may seem, there are a variety of techniques and ways to stop or calm your nerves and unpleasantness. Here we go.

Revision
One fact I have learnt about exams and tests is that revision really does count. How ever much your teach may nag you about the importance of revision, I sadly have to admit that for once she/he is correct. I have learnt this up front and the consequences are not a good thing. So, for your own good, please revise!

Relaxing
There are many types of revision techniques. Some people don’t revise at all, others revise occasionally and others go full speed ahead 24 hours a day. When an exam is in your sites always have a good ratio of revision and relaxing. Every 45 minutes of revision have 45 minutes of relaxing.

Learning Type
It is vital to know your learning type so you can revise in a sufficient way. There are 3 types: Listening, Speaking and Writing.

There we go; just a few tips of how to help you guys revise for the dreading exams.

Travel Experiences | Canada 2013

Welcome followers! I only just started my blog at the beginning of this year (2014), so I never gained the opportunity to share my amazing times I had with the family in Canada. Before the holiday commenced, I honestly was dreading it (not sure why now I have been). Anyway, from what I had been told, it didn't sound like it had the wow factor a holiday should usually provide. So today I will explain how wrong I was. Here we go!

First of all during our holiday, we went on a small cruise for a week down from the mountains of Alaska, USA to the sunny city of Vancouver, Canada. Just to confirm Alaska isn't all ice and snow, it just isn't like the typical American city of sun shine and beaches. It was an amazing sea journey and we managed to visit small towns in the middle of no where taking part in a variety of activities. It was so fun! Even though me and the family were completely isolated in the middle of the ocean we had the choice to do anything of the snippy thing. 

As we ventured our way towards dry land, of course we did bits and pieces like shopping and eating. But the actual main reason for going on holiday to Canada was to witness my cousin getting married! The wedding took place on a beautiful resort, where I met a whole load of strangers I was meant to know but honestly didn't have a clue who they were. I just stood there nodding my head and laughing at any jokes made like I understood them (just to confirm I didn't get the comedy involved in that nights experience). I have to say, that was an amazing time and I am so glad I went.

This is just a small amount of the amazing experiences I had during the Canada holiday last year. Let me know about any of your fantastic times on your holidays.
