The time and the festive spirit are here. Joy and freedom are part of the vacation, but so is holiday homework. One thing that students most fear is holiday homework. The way kids frequently ignore their mountains of schoolwork and become jittery and confused right before school starts is really evident. Our pupils should always take care of their holiday homework as soon as their vacations start.

How to Maintain Your Productivity over the Holidays 

The emphasis of holiday activities is leisure and quality time with loved ones. It gives children a chance to relax and refuel following months of demanding coursework. It does not, however, follow that you can get away with delaying any school-related chores until the very last minute just because you will be away from your classes for the next few weeks. And keeping up with your studies is a smart idea even if you're fortunate enough not to have any writing tasks or research to complete over the holidays. 

Here are seven tips to make sure your Holiday homework is finished on time and give yourself a much-needed break

• Forward Planning 

Holiday enjoyment can make it easy to forget deadlines, which leaves little time or thinking for course work. It is crucial to finish assignments on time even with so many (pleasant) distractions. Make a timetable for when and what tasks are due, and divide the work into smaller pieces, to help you pace yourself better. So you can prevent any last-minute surprises, keep this schedule visible. 

• Study little at a time

Despite the advice to keep busy over the holidays, your winter break is still primarily a time to unwind and rest. As in class, you are not supposed to spend eight hours studying. Instead, give studying in more frequent but short sessions a try. The time chunking technique advises working on jobs for 25 to 30 minutes at a time, with five-minute breaks in between. You have enough time for other tasks during your two to three hour study day. Time chunking reduces the inclination to put off tasks and doesn't overwork your brain by making it concentrate on one for longer periods of time. 

• Plan times for tutoring. 

Speaking of extra help, now is the ideal time to sign up and arrange tutoring sessions during your holiday vacation. If you need to make up for previous courses you may have found difficult or get ahead on subjects that will be covered when classes begin, this is very crucial. We understand that your holiday schedule might get full very fast, though, so your best bet is to look for an online tutoring program that allows you to study whenever and wherever you want. 

• You time yourself

That's a wise approach to do your homework. Note down the number of hours you can spend on each task. This approach of completing your schoolwork will also prepare you for working under pressure. 

• Mark the Simple Assignments for Later 

You could be tempted to finish the simple stuff when you first sit down for a lesson. When you initially start, though, your energy and attention are at their highest. Make the most of your brainpower to go through the hardest classes first. Should you then truly find yourself under holiday and homework pressure, you'll be able to finish the little tasks more quickly and stress-free. 

• Check to see whether you are comfortable 

Choose a comfy desk or table to sit at, or try strewing out on the floor. Avoiding your bed is generally a good idea as you could become tired or have problems falling asleep later. You can concentrate as long as you select a place where you feel at ease (and are not exhausted).
