mathematicca:

Yesterday, I had a strange day. I finished around eight tasks, which I was sure were going to take all day. So I was left with this void to fill, floundering for something to do that wasn’t binge watching House MD on Netflix.

Here are some things I could have done (and hopefully some things you can do):

• Are you learning a second language? Interested in starting one? Use your free time productively on Duolingo. Free to sign up, awesome way to imporve your vocabulary but subpar way to learn verbs or grammar.
  
• Maybe Duo isn’t your thing, but you still need to get some L2 practice in. Try writing a text in your target language reviewing the last book you read!
• Speaking of books, I bet that during intense study times, you don’t get the time to read as much as you’d like. Take this free time to crack open a novel and kick back.
• That essay you kicked ass on the other day? You know the one, you proofread it like four billion times. Do yourself a favour and run it through Grammarly. I guarantee it’ll find something you missed.
• You may have done your math homework, but practivce problems never hurt anyone. Open your textbook to the relevant chapter and challenge yourself to do as many problems as you can in 20 minutes.
• Alternatively, watch a Khan Academy video on your math/science topic of choice. I find that these videos often explain things from a different perspective, and that can be super helpful!
• Another great read to get ahead of the curve is Boundless.com, an open source texbook on literally every topic in the entire world
• Have you been drinking enough water lately? Take this opportunity to grab a glass and maybe make some home made iced tea for tomorrow!
• Flick through xkcd. Seriously, it’ll up your nerd cred sooo much. 
• Do you have an up to date calendar? Take this time to update your diary/calendar/phone app with any upcomming appointments/events/tasks
• In all the crazy studying recently, have you been looking after your body? Its important to care for your body just as much as your mind, so why not take this time to go for a workout and then wash away the stink with a nice relaxing bath. Your body will thank you.

I hope this post is helpful!
