時不時地休息下。每過15分鐘就往后仰，舒展一下肩膀和脖子。每過一個小時就要站起來，在房間里快速走動走動。幾分鐘里不要去想你的工作，過了幾分鐘后再回過來做你的工作。這樣你混亂的大腦就可以休息會，然后你又可以全速地開始干活。7學習的時候，記得去你學習效率最高的地方學習。不要在床上看書，如果那樣你只會很快就睡著的話。不要坐在課桌前學習，如果書桌上沒有足夠的地方可以攤開所有你要用的理工科書的話。不要坐在不舒服的椅子上學習，因為這只會讓你老想著你的臀部很疼，而不是專心于你面前的學習內容。找一個地方，在那里你可以全神貫注心無旁騖地把事情做完。如此一來，事情做完了，你也將得到一種從學業(yè)壓力中解脫出來的美妙感覺，只有在無需為學校事情煩惱的夜晚，你才能有這種解脫的感覺。8不過，這并不意味著你在干活的時候必須遠離所有形式的娛樂。事實上，你可以抽空看看電視，玩玩電腦游戲。當然，只有在你有足夠的自控力，保證自己能夠在預定的時長（例如一個小時）后繼續(xù)完成功課時才可行。放松片刻是好事，但是太長時間的放松只會讓你感覺做學生的壓力更大了，因為你突然意識到已經(jīng)到了半夜，你還什么都沒有弄好。假如你需要在完成功課之后才能看電視，那么就這樣辦。你自己最清楚自己，所以自己挑選最適合你的辦法。只要能實際完成功課就行。9至于其他的種種顧慮煩惱，就難以一一提供對策了。把功課都擺在面前，盡量騰出時間來做其他想做的事情。畢竟學校里面不僅是上課、考試、作業(yè)，去找找朋友也是緩解學業(yè)壓力的途徑。10即使有些課程讓你沮喪，也沒有必要讓學業(yè)壓力掌控你的人生。假如你現(xiàn)在學會了管理壓力，你就能夠在你的一生中更好的管理壓力。即使你在學校其他什么都沒有學到，你也學到了如何管理壓力這最重要的一課。畢竟，來自學校的壓力也是壓力，各種壓力都是一回事。schoolwork
