Weekly Wellbeing Themes

Meeting deadlines and Staying Well

As deadlines approach, it is vital to create space for your physical and mental health alongside your academic studies.

While a small amount of stress can sharpen your focus, excessive pressure often has the opposite effect. High stress levels—especially when combined with a lack of sleep, poor nutrition, or dehydration—can significantly hinder both your productivity and your general wellbeing.

To stay on track, try breaking your work into small, manageable chunks and focusing on one task at a time. If you find yourself struggling to manage your deadlines, please reach out for help from your department or the Wellbeing and Student Support team.

Developing these management skills now will benefit you throughout your degree and as you progress into your professional career.
A great place to start is our Managing Deadlines resource
You can also join our Preparing for Exam and Assessment Stress: Peer Support Session on Wednesdays, 4-5 PM in the Library.

All students can access the Student Health and Wellbeing Service for support. Check out our website to see what services we offer and to explore our self-help resources. Brief consultations are typically the starting point for support. They are available Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. You can speak with a Health & Wellbeing Practitioner face-to-face in Senate House or online via Teams. To get started, use the Wellbeing Portal to begin a brief consultation or to submit an inquiry directly to the Disability Services team.
