Balance Academics With Co-Curricular Activities

• One of the major challenges that students face at
  school is balancing academics and co-curricular
  activities.
• These co-curricular activities give students
  greater exposure to the world and can help them
  acquire new skills.
• Since both the activities are needed, balancing
  between them can be a problem.
• We will take a look at how students can ensure
  the best balance so that they manage both
  academic and co-curricular activities
  effectively.

3
Decide properly and wisely

• The first thing you need to do is decide which
  co-curricular activities you want to take up.
• It is important that you choose the right
  activities that you can manage during the
  academic year.
• Choose the activity that you like or that you are
  passionate about.
• While choosing, avoid going with the herd or
  being influenced by others.

4
Set your priorities

• When you need to do both academics and
  co-curricular activities, you are presented with
  a difficult decision.
• You may have an exam or project coming up. At the
  same time, there could be a game or debate coming
  up. You may be left wondering which activity to
  choose.
• This is where you need to prioritize.
• Where possible, manage time effectively so you
  can do both.

5
Make a timetable

• A schedule or a timetable is the best friend for
  a student. Other than the timetable made by your
  school, you need to create a personal timetable.
• At Nalanda International School, one of the best
  ICSE schools in Gujarat, we clearly provide a
  schedule of the academic and co-curricular
  activities conducted throughout the year.
• You would also know the dates of these
  activities, including approximate exam dates.

6
Learn to Say No

• You must acknowledge that you cannot do
  everything.
• Time is a constraint, and there are plenty of
  things to be done.
• The biggest problem students face is when they
  commit themselves to do activities that they
  cannot do.
• Sometimes, you decide to go for a game or club
  meeting because your friends are going.
• This is where you need to learn how to say NO. Do
  not get influenced by others.

7
Learn to be organized

• One of the most important things to do is to
  learn to be organized.
• Now that you have a schedule ready, you must
  stick to it.
• There would be temptations to deviate from the
  schedule by trying to fit in a last-minute
  activity.
• Do not do it unless it is vital for your career.
• Sticking to your plan is the best way to ensure a
  balance between academics and co-curricular
  activities.

8
Focus on your health

• Take care of your health while at school.
• Give time for exercise and physical activities
  each day, so you are fit and healthy.
• Give up the temptation to eat unhealthy food and
  try to get a balanced diet.
• If you are feeling stressed, try yoga or
  meditation so you can calm your mind.

9
Get help when you need it

• You dont have to do everything on your own.
• When the pressure is getting to you, dont
  hesitate to get help.
• Your family will always be with you.
• Talk to your family and share your challenges and
  the pressure you are facing.
