    I believe that the holidays are more for connection and relaxation than for being productive. You get to be productive the other 11 months of the year. It's okay to take time for yourself and your family and relax or go on a trip.

    If you both aren’t doing anything over the weekend, consider planning a camping trip! If you’d prefer an indoor activity, try planning a movie night instead.

    If you have family at home, you can make the most of your holiday by planning quality time with them. You might invite other family and friends over for a special meal, have a family game night, or even binge watch a favorite show together. If you’re by yourself, consider inviting friends over, filling the time by working on a hobby or creative project, or getting some work done around your home.

    Try to spend a little time relaxing and having fun so you don’t get burned out. If you feel the need to be productive, you can schedule a specific amount of time each day reviewing for the next term or setting goals for when school starts up again. You can also use the time to get caught up on things you didn’t have time for while school was in session, whether it’s working on a hobby, doing chores, or spending time with friends and family.

    There’s nothing wrong with spending your holidays resting and relaxing. However, if you want to spend your time being productive, you could plan to catch up on chores you’ve been putting off. If you’re in school, you might do some studying so you don’t get rusty during your time off. Whatever you choose to do, planning ahead can help you make the most of your time!
  • Question
    I was given homework to finish in the holidays. Can you please tell me how to manage the time wisely?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Work out how much homework you have to do, and about how long it'll take you do finish it. Add a bit of extra time to give yourself space. Then, set aside an hour or two a day during the holidays for doing the homework, from the start of the holidays. The good thing is that if you complete it earlier, you are free for the rest of the holidays, which is better than leaving it to a scary rush at the end.
