Headline: Headline: How I Stay Productive (and Chill) Over Summer 🌞🧘📚

Content:

Film a mini vlog or voiceover-style video showing how you’re spending your summer break. Share your favourite ways to stay motivated—whether that’s part-time work, reading, learning something new, or planning for next term. Then balance it with clips of how you unwind—like travel, hobbies, time with friends, or rest. Show that summer can be both productive and relaxing.

Key Messaging (Ideas to include):

• Personal productivity tips: planners, habits, small goals

• Ways you’re preparing for next term (e.g. CV updates, learning something new)

• How you relax and protect your mental well-being

• Emphasis on balance—not doing “everything,” just what works for you

Goals:

To encourage students to enjoy summer while still finding ways to stay organised, look after their well-being, and make light progress toward future goals.
