The CBSE exams have started! And while the pattern may have changed and many years have gone by, anyone who has suffered through the Indian schooling system, will always remember the hype, the harried late night revisions and the general feeling of dread which accompanies the board exams. Before we go any further, here are the numbers the students are being measured up against.

4. Movies, comics, fiction and games: hit pause

Are there brilliant movies coming out or thinking of perusing some favourite fiction like Harry Potter maybe? Do you have Asterix or the latest issue of DC tucked neatly inside your textbook? Do you feel like running that latest Skyrim mod, thinking it will be a good way to relax?

You are not wrong. Problem is, it's not gonna stop. It never does.

Try hitting pause for a while. You are going to torrent stuff later anyway.

5. Stop making lists of things-to-do.

We all make lists, of things that had to be, need to be or have to be done in the future. Sometimes things get messed up though. Don't fret over past lists and definitely don't be overexcited by future party plans. Try focusing on the task at hand.
