Sounds like I'm going through a burn-out. I'm in my last academic year at uni, and for the past 6 months I worked almost continuously (with satisfying outcomes). However, what is left is preparing several exams and a couple of courseworks in less than a month, and right now I feel completely depleted. Can you, or somebody else, provide any advice?
Edit: As an invitation to discussion on the margin of the blog post, what happens when this lifecycle puts you in a position like mine? (i.e, the 4th phase occurs when critical responsibilities need to be fulfilled.) Wouldn't this be a problem with this lifecycle?

- tatituta 13y agoThanks, that's part of what I'm trying. I've already established which exams will be easiest to revise for; and have decided which exams to 'sacrifice' (in the end, I'm concerned with the overall grade). It's horrible crawling like this; I wish it didn't have to be this way. But right now I'm focusing on managing it in the best possible way.
- sstarr 13y agoWhen I've gone through periods like that I've found that something as simple as going for a walk every day really helps to lift my mood and increase my productivity. Sometimes I feel like there's so much to do and so much pressure that I couldn't possibly spare half an hour away from it but I can guarantee that I'll get less done and feel less happy on the days that I don't go out for some fresh air and exercise.
- tatituta 13y agoHi, thanks. Also, it seems fruits help a lot. Fruit juices are great, and along similar lines, soups too.
