MOD. Exhibition - It’s Complicated
|
|
Want to raise a Tamagotchi-inspired octopus, build robots or hack the immune system? Join us at MOD.’s new exhibition It’s Complicated which pulls back the curtain on the seemingly simple and reveals just how complicated, and complex, the world can be. Even well-thought-out solutions can have unexpected and unintended consequence, like trying to wipe out malaria but ending up with parachuting cats.
Don’t forget to check out MOD.Cast or view their past exhibition Life Interrupted for your online experience. |

How to beat screen distraction and procrastination

|
Is time running away from you? Not sure how to fit everything in? Screen distractions and procrastination are common time wasters. They may seem trivial at the time, but when they become a habit, they can greatly undermine your confidence and study success.
Here are five quick tips for beating screen distraction and procrastination:
• Start your day screen free
• Create a phone-free study zone
• Set small achievable goals each day
• Before you scroll ask yourself ‘Is this really important right now?’
• Challenge the urge to avoid studying by asking yourself ‘What will help me take the next step?’
Learn
more tips and strategies around managing screen time and procrastination at our online workshop on Wednesday 31 March from 12.00pm - 1.00pm. |
