   Plan. Know what you have to accomplish and plan your time accordingly. It is always smart to be quick and efficient in performing your planned tasks.Even though some of us believe in perfecting our assignments over and over until the last minute, it is most advisable to sit down, write it up, proofread and submit.Remember getting the assignment in on time is more important than writing the best report of your life.

   Balance. Leave time for fun things to do with friends, such as go to movies, spend time out at the beach...and meditation.

Because who know how long it is before the IB apocalypse turns you into one of them zombies, functioning on caffeine and modafinil.

In this way as soon as you get home, you have plenty of time to indulge in whatever you want to do. Whether it's more studying, or watching movies, or visiting your grandma. Now you have all the time in the world!
