Stress management tips – beat learner burnout

Life is a balancing act. You’re probably juggling personal and professional responsibilities all while furthering your education. Stress is unavoidable — but it is manageable.

Practice these five stress management tips to help you relax and stay focused.

●      Manage your time. Don’t let deadlines defeat you. Maximize your time by working efficiently and allocating time for each of your tasks.
