No matter what grade you&#8217;re in, from kindergarten to grad school, it can be hard to adjust to the new way of learning you are facing. However, there are many ways that you can still rock this school year, whether online, in-person, or a mix of both!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any new school year can put a lot of pressure on students and parents alike.\u00a0 Dealing with possibly a new school, new teacher, and new classmates can feel a bit overwhelming. By now you probably bought all your supplies, have your class schedule set in place, and have learned your teachers\u2019 names.\u00a0 You are well on your way to a successful academic year. But if you\u2019re still feeling a little stressed out, take a look at these simple tips and tricks to not only take the pressure off but rock the new school year!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"1-make-your-bed\">1. Make Your Bed <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1021\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/2_Jaclyn-Hodge_@jaci.daily_003.jpeg\" alt=\"Child bedroom 2x2 frames \" class=\"wp-image-10362\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/2_Jaclyn-Hodge_@jaci.daily_003.jpeg 1021w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/2_Jaclyn-Hodge_@jaci.daily_003-700x878.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/2_Jaclyn-Hodge_@jaci.daily_003-768x963.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1021px) 100vw, 1021px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, this may seem like a small chore, but it makes a huge impact. Start your day off right by making your bed first thing in the morning to set the tone for your day. Tidy up your room while you\u2019re at it. A clean room can mean an uncluttered mind, and that frees up your brain cells to grasp new ideas. Especially if some bedrooms double as a classroom, taking online classes, and homeschool learning in a neat workspace can make a <strong>big <\/strong>difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0Speaking of a workspace\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"2-create-an-ideal-workspace\">2. Create An Ideal Workspace <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image4.jpeg\" alt=\"Learning space \" class=\"wp-image-10363\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image4.jpeg 960w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image4-700x933.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image4-768x1024.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether it\u2019s space in your bedroom, a section of the kitchen table, or a corner of the living room, find somewhere that you will not only have enough room to work but that will be exclusively used for that purpose. Try to find an area away from the usual hustle and bustle of the household so that you are able to focus on your work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don\u2019t already have one and space allows, we suggest getting a desk and chair so that you have a dedicated place to do your work comfortably. Adding some personal touches to your workspace can help boost your creativity and mood. If you have photos of your family and friends, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/search?q=inspirational%20wall%20art&amp;ref=auto-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">inspirational posters<\/a>, head over to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\">Frame Designer<\/a> to hang some wall art above your desk!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking of inspiration, studies have shown the positive impact flowers have on us. They act as natural mood moderators and can affirmatively affect our emotional health. Get some flowers for your desk, whether they are real, fake, or even just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/framing-flowers-to-add-spring-to-your-walls-all-year-round\/\">framed flowers<\/a>! We can\u2019t guarantee they will take away all the stress during final exams, but they are a pleasant diversion that will brighten your mood!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"3-stay-organized\">3. Stay Organized <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image3-1.jpeg\" alt=\"3x2 red frames in reading room\" class=\"wp-image-10364\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image3-1.jpeg 960w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image3-1-700x933.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image3-1-768x1024.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you have your workspace set up, you will want to stay organized. Make sure that you are keeping your desk neat by only keeping the necessities on top. If your desk has drawers, utilize them for books, extra paper, and other school supplies. This way you won\u2019t waste precious time looking for things when you need them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use the technology you have to help stay organized.&nbsp; Scan your syllabus, handouts, and other important paperwork and add them to your desktop for easy access. Create folders that you can add to throughout the school year. That will free up limited desk space and keep important documents safe and organized.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"4-get-a-calendar\">4.

Having your due dates right in front of you at all times can help you prioritize your work.

Try and get in the habit of waking up and going to sleep around the same time each day. Make it a practice of eating breakfast, doing your work, and other usual activities at the same time each day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s not to say that there isn\u2019t always <em>something <\/em>that will interrupt your schedule.
