great time for you to learn English for instance if that's what you want todo now we've got a number of videos on English learning as well in our learnEnglish playlist and I'm going to drop links for you under this videowe also post short videos daily on our social media platforms and the links areall up here but if you already know English you might want to learn anotherlanguage it could be Spanish it could be German Japanese or even French and lookout for some of the free apps that can help you learn this one such app thatI've noticed which is free and very useful is called duolingo learning programming languages orsoftware now this is a skill that will come in handy no matter which career youpursue and here are my favorite languages or software for you to pursueduring these vacations the first is dart dart is a new programming languagedeveloped by Google and the second is flutter which is a new softwaredevelopment kit also developed by Google so I suggest you can learn both of theseand there are several sites that can help you online including code Academymaybe tynker maybe udemy at number three is Python or Java now the fourthsoftware that I think you must learn is a video editing software now I use AdobePremiere Pro but you can choose to use any other video editing software and myfinal software for you is Adobe Photoshop activity number three that Ihighly recommend you follow is calligraphy I know you're a bitsurprised to hear this because it is the digital age but hand fashioned is trueluxury so how about you be a fashionista and here are some YouTube platforms thatcan help you learn calligraphy and what more it will also help you improve yourhandwriting and help you score better in your exams activity number four is perhaps the mostobvious one which is your curriculum study or your exam preparation nowchances are once these vacations end, you may have some of your exams or evencompetitive or entrance exams now it's always good to stay one step ahead againlook for some online resources if you're able to get your coaching center or yourtuition teacher to do zoom classes with you that's fantasticbut my favorite it's a Khan Academy activity number five is reading booksnow it doesn't matter what genre of books you read whether it's fiction ornonfiction we've also done some book reviews for you in fact we're coming upwith a book

put that down as well as a comment under this videoand now for the timetable so we've divided your day into four quarters ofsix hours each and that has been done keeping in mind the fact that there aredifferent natural light conditions during these four quarters maybe evendifferent temperatures and also the ambient sounds on account of peoplearound us that are awake let's take a look at the first quarter 12:00 midnightto 6:00 a.
m.
this is the most peaceful time of the day and this is the besttime to be sleeping perhaps find yourself waking up towards the end ofthis quarter maybe around 5:30 a.
m.
and between 5:30 and 6:00 the ideal time foryou to do a little bit of meditation maybe just about 10 minutes or 15minutes now the second quarter 6 a.
m.
to 12 noon this is the most energetic partof the day and this is the time for you to do your most productive work so startit by doing some exercise maybe get into the kitchen put yourselfsome heavy nice healthy breakfast together and you could also catch somereading you want to read a newspaper or maybe on an app you just want to catchup with some light reading now is the time to take up your biggest and mostchallenging task it could be a theory subject that you find difficult and sitwith it for about an hour or so and take a break now you can pick up yourlanguage learning it could be English or any otherlanguage it could be on a video or on an app nowtowards the last part of the quarter sit and work towards your competitive examyou may have some math problems to solve or physics problems to solve you mayhave an SAT exam coming up and you want to study some English and by the end ofthe quarter you can leave your sorry table and that room and step out and nowfor the third quarter between 12:00 noon and 6:00 p.
m.
the Sun is at its peakright now and everyone around us is awake there's a lot of noise happeningand this is not only a lazy quarter but it's also one where we are not able tofocus and concentrate so how about you start the quarter by going into thekitchen and trying to fix yourself this interesting lunch have your lunch andwork on your collection box and then maybe take a quick nap when you wake upmaybe you want a cup of tea but that may be a good time to catch up with yourfriends hang out with them on a video chat this is also a good time to work onyour calligraphy skills because even though you're a little lazy the slowwriting is going to make you feel very relaxed and also perhaps you want tocheck with your mom if she needs any help and the final quarter 6:00 p.
m.
to12:00 midnight start this quarter with your software program it could be thelanguage you're learning or the course that you're doing follow that up withdinner post dinner sit with a book read or listen to an audiobook and try to goto sleep by 10:00 p.
