Yay, it's Friday! How do you plan your time off studying?

[Ilythia]

I have 3 books to read bits of to prepare for a lecture/seminar on Monday morning and then some A level papers to do as revision for Tuesday but have taken the conscious decision to have tonight and tomorrow off from studying.
Tomorrow night I shall do some reading and the papers on Sunday.
Is that going to work? Do you consciously take time off?

I find that consciously taking some time off can make me more productive, because I've got more energy when I get back to it, rather than feeling resentful because I want a break (if that makes any sense ). Just make sure you don't overload yourself for the end of the weekend, unless you work better in 'essay crisis' mode!

Yep, I always give myself one day off over the weekend, where I am not allowed to do any studying. I have had that today, well almost I read one of my readings while dd did her swimming lesson this morning. But that was because it more interesting than twiddling my thumbs for the half hour.
As bousy says it helps to focus if you have some time off.

Well I worked last weekend, and I'll be working again this weekend. Aggh!
