Totally switch off from work and study. But schedule them so you don't end up taking a whole week off.

Take each section of the Dissertation step by step. Don't feel overwhelmed. Make a schedule for how you will tackle each section so you can tick them off. This gives a sense of achievement! 

Chat to your friends who are also at Uni. Talking to them will remind you that you are not going through this alone.

Always try to get changed and face the day as you would post lockdown! It’s gives you a sense of normalcy.

Write out a do list each day! Keep it simple and achievable, this will allow you to slowly complete bits and pieces of your assignments. Like writing 300 words a day, or reading an article.

Take breaks in between writing, and a rest day to re-charge! It will give you time to connect with friends and family. But also when you look back over your work you’ll be able to spot mistakes, and places to expand on.

As soon as you've don't that you will feel a weigh lifted off your shoulders as you won't worry about it anymore. Then everything else you have to do will seem way smaller and more manageable. Give yourself time off during the week and take regular breaks.
