# The Ultimate IB Study–Life Balance Guide

⚖️ 1. The "Rule of Three"

Each day, focus on onlythree priorities: one academic, one personal, one fun.

This keeps your days meaningful but realistic.

📆 2. Time-Block Your Wellbeing

Schedule wellbeing like any other class:

- 30 min walk = non-negotiable

- 1 hobby session weekly

- 1 "digital detox" block per weekend

If it's not in your planner, it won't happen.

❤️ 3. Define Your "Enough"

You don't need to be perfect in everything.

Know when you've studiedenoughfor the day.

Closing your laptop is part of discipline.

🌙 4. Protect Sleep Above All

IB students often trade sleep for study. Ironically, poor sleep cuts learning efficiency by up to

40% (Harvard, 2019).
