Set new goals:
Before you begin the new academic year set some goals for yourself. Make sure these goals are realistic and achievable. Your goals can vary from excelling in a particular subject to being more participative in the co-curricular activities. Setting new goals helps you to prioritize what's important and the areas you need to focus on for your improvement.
Create your study space:

Hence, we suggest that you create and decorate a study corner for yourself where you can attend classes, study and relax. Books like Oswaal NCERT Exemplar contains quick Response (QR codes ), which gives you a rich digital learning experience even as you sit at home, and contains mind maps to unlock the imagination and come up with new ideas.
