How to reduce grad school burnout

To reduce grad school burnout, practice self-care, manage time wisely, and connect with classmates. For a more detailed look at these strategies and others, reference this guide:

1. Practice self-care. Graduate school can often feel overwhelming, to the point where you never have time for yourself. Taking small breaks and prioritizing your mental health is crucial to keep yourself ready to keep going and succeeding.

2. Manage your time wisely. Finding a successful way to manage your time is crucial in reducing burnout for graduate students. Maybe a physical planner is helpful or setting a timer for study breaks, but in any case, finding what works best to manage your time is great.

3. Take care of yourself. Eating, exercising, and sleeping well can do wonders for managing stress and reducing burnout. Even if you don't feel that you have time to do it all, prioritizing helps to reduce stress and make everything else feel more manageable.

4. Connect with classmates. Having the support of those around you can be extremely beneficial. You can study together, work through difficulties, and be someone to lean on who truly understands how you feel and what you need.
