We hope all our Edinburgh Napier University students and staff had a wonderful Christmas and New Year’s with some time to relax and catch up with friends and family.<\/p>\n

With the festivities now over, you might be thinking that it\u2019s time to make some resolutions and get back into that \u2018serious study mode\u2019.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also a time to reflect on past events and your studies to see what you might want to freshen up and change for the new year. Just keep in mind that progress is always ongoing, and you should focus on one step at a time!<\/p>\n

\"New

New Year Resolutions<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here are some suggestions that you might want to consider below:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Change your learning style or study skills<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you want to change your study habits or try a new way of learning, Box of Broadcasts (BOB)<\/a> and listening to Podcasts are productive ways of gathering information and evidence for your assignments. You can find more information about it on our Libguides<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    The library also has a study skills reading list<\/a> and many books available like Improving Your Study Skills<\/em> <\/a>by Shelley O’Hara for improving the way you learn.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"Study

    Study planning<\/p><\/div>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Balancing education and work or your social life<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      This could be the year where you decide to prioritise your time wisely and manage your schedule to avoid burnout. You might want to break up the week by scheduling tasks into your calendar or stick colourful post-it notes around your room as visual reminders. Your education should be your priority and then you can consider what to do in your spare time such as music, sports or travelling!<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Try new activities<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Whatever the weather, if you have a burning desire for adventures in the outdoors, like kayaking, hikes and walks in the hills, then the Hiking and Outdoor Activities society<\/a> at Edinburgh Napier may be the one for you this year!<\/p>\n

        You can join more of Napier\u2019s societies in the link below:<\/p>\n
