• Make sure you keep a good daily rhythm, even if you don’t have to show up physically for lectures. Don’t turn your day around – get up at normal hours.
• Make a daily plan for your studies, now that you have more time available. Get electronically organized with fellow students to discuss lectures and articles.
• Eat regularly, healthy, and cook nice food, now that you have more time to do so. Do you lack motivation? How about cooking “together” with others, even if physically not in the same kitchen (via social media).
• Be active, go for walks or exercise outdoors. Fresh air will do you good. Go together with someone if you can, but keep distance. Check tips form Kraft on exercises you can do at home to stay fit. Make appointments with other students to exercise together via social media, each one in his/her place.
• Do something nice, there’s a lot of good tips on this page to things you can do from home, play games with others online, learn a new hobby or do a hobby you already know.
• Be social. You are not alone even if you are alone. Stay in touch with others over the phone or video conversations, so that you can see others and use your own voice.
• Perhaps you have more time now to get your room and surroundings more organized and tidy and create a cozy atmosphere.
• Set realistic goals for what you wish to get done these weeks and for your future
• Perhaps you need some extra rewards these days to keep up your motivation. Have a nice cup of hot chocolate, indulge sweets, watch a movie, read non-academic literature, listen to music, etc.
• If you can’t leave your room, do you have anyone in Tromsø who could help you get necessities? If not, contact Samskipnaden, even if you live in private accommodation.
• If all the news on Corona virus make you more anxious, consider not to watch/listen to/read news the whole time, but limit it to certain times.
