It’s important to take a planned break from study too. Taking regular breaks can help to prevent study fatigue and keep you focused. These breaks allow you to refresh your mind and improve creativity, as well as helping you to maintain your attention and regain your motivation.
We have a list of Dunedin-specific study break ideas to help provide some study break inspiration.
