DESCRIPTION: You are ready to change (the way you study), but are not 
 sure how to get started.&nbsp; This module is part of three modules o
 ffered by the VU student psychological counsellors, we will focus on 
 themes that students regularly tell us they struggle with: procrastin
 ation, stress and feeling stuck in a negative spiral.&nbsp; The aim o
 f each module is to give you insights into your own thoughts, feeling
 s, and behaviours - and a set of practical tools that you can use whe
 n you hit the books.&nbsp; A series consists of three modules that yo
 u can follow consecutively or separately. It is not obligatory to do 
 all three; you sign up for a single module. This makes it more easily
  accessible and demand driven. The modules may also be a nice refresh
 er for students who previously met with a student psychological couns
 ellor or completed a training or workshop!&nbsp; In this module we wo
 rk on behaviour. Sometimes you want to change, but where do you start
 ? We spend time on helping you gain an overview, of both your short- 
 and long-term plans. This is about taking action and getting a grip o
 n your day. Useful for everyone: whether you procrastinate, like to s
 ocialise, or cannot see the wood for the trees.&nbsp; Other modules i
