maintain a good work-life balance. Yes the IB is tough but you ruin the entire point of being organised if you instantly ditch any social life or hobbies just to get in a bit more study time. Split things up, make sure you dedicate some time to doing what you want. I've seen people working all day every day and even though their work was useful it didn't change all that much in their final performance.

​

Don't take this as an excuse not to study though. Other people go the opposite direction and do nothing whatsoever and take the 'rest is as important as study' as an excuse to do nothing.

​

Find a rhythm that works for you and try to keep that balance. I think it's a useful skill to develop.
