Have you ever had headaches during a test? Have you ever been too concerned about something that you even can’t sleep at night? If so, then you know that stress is. Too much stress can result in angry, depression and other related problems, which we need to take them seriously.
However, not all stress was harmful to you. Some kinds of stress can help you getting things done better, like when you are running towards the finishing line or when you are asked to deliver speech to your class. Stress sometimes can push you to make full preparation for a test.
The best approach to reducing stress is to have a balanced life. If we get enough sleep, eat proper, take more exercise and have enough fun time, you might feel less stressed.

Not too long ago, a young man asked me a question: how do you make study more fun? You can improve your study habits and make your process more enjoyable. It’s a matter of many things.
Manage your time
1. All it takes is sitting down with a calendar, and just mapping out everything you need to do and the time you need to do it: projects, tests, part-time work, homework, parties, doctor appointments.
Set the mood
First, choose a good study area. 2. Your spot may be in your dorm/bedroom or the library. If you prefer to lie on your bed or sit in a corner of the library, develop a study routine that will allow you to focus. Clean spaces are said to improve productivity. To help you focus, turn off your phone! And while you're at it, limit your access to the Internet.
Make it a game
Are you the competitive type? Try competing against yourself. 3. Or try joining or starting a study group with fiends and take bets on who can get the most right answers when doing homework.
Take breaks
In that hour or two you’ve scheduled for studying, make sure you also give yourself enough breaks. Set a timer-even a short one, like 25 minutes-and work during that time. When the timer goes off, give yourself a few minutes to relax, drink some water, etc. 4.
Reward yourself Sweet treats and other snacks often come to mind as a “reward”, and that might work for you, but it’s also probably not a great idea to eat a bag of potato chips after every 25-minute study session. Rewards can be as simple as allowing yourself to watch some interesting videos. 5.
A. And we mean a specific, unique spot.
B. it’s important to realize and make peace with the fact that studying isn’t always going to be “fun”.
C. You can learn how to learn more effectively.
D. Then set another timer and dive back into your studying.
E. Or you can set goals, and then buy yourself something fun when you meet them.
F. Time management may be the secret weapon to succeeding at everything!
G. See if you can improve your reading speed to get yourself under a certain number of pages in five minutes.
