      To be honest, I’m so busy at work at the moment that every day seems to fly by! I’ve never known the weekend come round so quickly 🙂

      @sidmenon I always take a day off from studying. My brain can’t seem to be functional 7 days a week. So I suppose everyone has a day that is equivalent to your “Mourning mondays”.

      Hi @sidmenon, it’s normal to have that especially after a spurt of extremely high productivity. Then the universe seems to dictate that you have to conform to the average somehow and then bang, you have a day where you can’t seem to do anything… If you notice this, best is to take a full break from the books and come back fully recharged. :-t

        I definitely mourn my Mondays. One way I address this is to schedule something I really look forward to (in my case I schedule a treat such as drinks or a nice dinner out). That makes my Mondays much more enjoyable!

        You’ll have no weekend to mourn Mondays either like a month before the exam 🙂

        @Sophie nailed it on the head. Sometimes Monday can go by well enough, but usually after a long weekend of studying it’s better to rest on Monday and attack the rest of the week fully recharged.

          I remember back in university, during finals season, I had to take one day off a week. No matter what – if I didn’t my productivity just went down quite fast. It was hard to take a day off, in fact! I just kept feeling guilty and that I should study, but I absolutely needed the time off.

          Many of my friends are in IB – let’s just say I’m thankful I have enough of a weekend to mourn Mondays. Sad.

            Well, i do take a day off, sort of. I study Monday to Saturday. And then Sunday, i do as little as possible, so it pretty much counts as a break in itself.
