Why is it Important to Balance Studies and Social Life?

The pandemic has made its own adjustments to the school-life balance, turning it into a disaster for those who used to ignore the importance of a balanced lifestyle. It turned home into a workplace, erasing the borders between rest and study. The neverending flow of deadlines and a messed social aspect of life has made distant learning truly unbearable. Let alone the family members who think that if you are home, you have nothing to do and ready to dive into household chores. With the new normal, the sense of being in control of your own life has almost disappeared. And the only way to survive with minimum loss is to finally adopt the basics of keeping things balanced. Now all your available environment is focused on a single place, so you are to make your own rules of how this place should function. Try to divide the home into sections and don’t mess them up: if your room is for studies, rest in some other place to send your brain a signal that the study phase is over for now. Despite all the hardships of studying from home, there is something unique in it. First, you’re the master of your own schedule. If you manage to cope with the tasks in advance, you’re free to manage the rest of the studying time according to your wish. Second, you have the ability to spend much more quality time with your loved ones and strengthen family bonds. Third, you can develop new skills, take up online courses, or read the book you’ve been putting off for years. Establishing a school-life balance helps you to stay optimistic and not lose yourself during times of pandemic. Consider it as a perfect time to learn how to create a perfect balance and benefit from it all your life. We have with us Yogita Kapil principal at Delhi Public School, Sahibabad, Ghaziabad.
