7 ACTIVITIES TO DO WHEN YOU NEED A STUDY BREAK 

Go for a walk

It may be cold outside, but the fresh air and physical activity are totally worth it! Bundle up and get moving. Walking is a great way to reset your perspective, give your eyes a break from screens, and just think. 

Grab a coffee

Nothing gives you that renewed jolt of energy like coffee! Grabbing coffee is an excellent study break option for when you feel your productivity starting to lag. 

Karaoke and Just Dance!

Looking for a fun study break activity to do with friends or roommates? Crank up the music and do some karaoke or Just Dance! This activity doesn’t need to be fancy 

Stretch/exercise

If you’ve been sitting at a desk or in bed all day, use your study break time to stretch out. Roll your shoulders back, go for a run, do some yoga or pilates, or turn up the heat with a HIIT workout. 

Catch up with a friend

In an era of social distancing, it can be hard to maintain those social ties. Use a study break to catch up with a friend by giving them a call or inviting them over for an outdoor hangout. 

Pick up an old/new hobby

Read. Watch. Work. Sleep. Repeat. If your day looks like this, it may be time to incorporate a hobby into your schedule and study break rotation. Pick up an instrument or try drawing. 

Play a game or do a puzzle

Playing cards, chess, or board games are quick and easy ways to break up your day and reconnect with your inner child. Round up a few friends for a game of Codenames, Settlers of Catan.
