The Struggle

Students often push for productivity at the cost of rest, leading to burnout and anxiety.It's not laziness — it's overload

Set Realistic Goals

Don't fill your to-do list with 10 impossible tasks.Focus on 2–3 important things per day

Prioritize Sleep

Productivity drops by 30% with poor sleep.Good rest is part of the work — not a reward

Manage Stress Early

Meditation, music, or a quick walk — anything that helps your mind breathe.Prevention beats breakdown

Talk It Out

If you feel stuck or pressured, talk to someone — a friend, teacher, or counselor.You're not alone in this

Redefine “Success”

Success isn't constant output — it's consistency with balance.You can chase goals without losing yourself
