STUDENT PERSPECTIVE

"I learned that the key to productivity is to make your routines varied,  make it fun, and keep yourself interested.  For example, go exercise after you are done with all your work or take a dance class at the end of the day.  Sometimes changing the mood will be enough, like writing emails in an old castle because you're listening to that type of playlist with a crackling fireplace.  It doesn't have to break your wallet, but it does have to keep you interested in the work."
