Seems everyone is gearing in for a couple weeks of intense studying and test taking. Dealing with the stress can be rough, so here aer 8 ways to instantly relieve stress: 1. Chair Press-Up - flat feet, hands on arms of chair, deep breach and push up with your arms and feet as you exhale, then go limp 2. Breathing - strong slow inhale through nose, strong and steady exhale through mouth 3. Spread Legs - self explanatory 4. Slouch Slightly - lean back your head and slouch 5. Power Hands - elbows on table, steeple hands in front of face (like Mr. Burns) 6. Anchoring - think of something with strong emotional connectinos - family, friends, wedding, etc. 7.Kill Internal Dialogue 8. Picture Method - find picture that calms you down, and stare

I know this may be a strange notion for some, as the purpose of a shower is to get clean and get out; but like many people (I hope), I do my best thinking in the shower. It's a time for me to get away and clear my head resulting in some of my best ideas.  Study in the Shower
I only wish I had discovered this tactic while in law school. I can see it now, memorizing future estates would be the easy part of property. (I actually liked property, so I guess that analogy doesn't work)
My next msision is to somehow figure a way to be able to write my spontaneous eureka moment ideas while in the shower. I don't think a DRY-erase board will do very well, but perhaps some use of watercolors will suffice. Any ideas?

I know that when I was in law school, laptops were a savior in taking notes and doing off-the-cuff case briefs, but I couldn't help drifting off to a series of commonly visited favorites and a game here and there. Despite my slight detours, I know this was nothing compared to some students who risked the full-screen games.  No Laptop Allowed
As expected, many law schools have either shut off internet access during the class or even banned laptops altogether. The most recent school to do shut off their internet is the University of Chicago. Over the years, many professors have taken their own initiative in banning laptops during their lecture. This is partly in response of professors having to often repeat the question after asking.
I think a lap top ban is a little extreme, but I know I and most of my colleagues would have concentrated more without the internet access.
Does your school limit internet use or have they even gone to the extent of banning laptops? |
