Proposal: instead of creating fantasy names by inventively misspelling real names, create fantasy names by cutting real names in half and stapling them back together with mismatched counterparts. e.g.:

hello studyblr community

i want to ask how yall actually stick to schedules and timers and stuff – because I can never stick to self imposed study schedules [like I will do this from 1-3pm and then this other thing from 3-5]

and even though pomodoro timers do help me a lot, I still find myself getting distracted during the focus time and then also sometimes forgetting to actually start my break timer, or the study timer, and then im like? do i skip a break bc i got distracted in my previous focus time?

day 28/100 | 100 days of productivity✮⋆˙

05/06/2024 // my last final examination for the second semester is tomorrow, and i am quite nervous since there was not a lot of preparation time and any student of abnormal psych knows the hassle of learning the numerous diagnostic criteria without mixing them up.

— what i did today :

studied the diagnostic criteria for sleep wake disorders + somatic symptom and related disorders

read a paper on culture bound syndromes

revised a paper on media portrayals of disorders

read about sexual and gender related disorders

studied about methods in making therapy more multiculturally sensitive

went through the process of conducting a clinical interview

revised notes on phenomenological social psychiatry, culture & mental illness, and religion/spirituality and mental care

I’ll leave the remaining 20 books upto my choice or for any random books I happen to stumble upon. This is the first year in like 11 years that I haven’t set a reading challenge on Goodreads for myself cause I just want to give myself more freedom and make reading more fun and less pressure. But this list is gonna help me prioritize the books I do wanna read :)

————————————

15.05.2024 Update

Read one book (no. 15) that wasn’t on the list initially and we have read a total of six books so far! Pretty happy with the progress. And also really enjoyed the ones that I did read. Maybe I should make an anon story graph account and share it on here.

Day 89 • 100 Days of Productivity

i finally got an answer from my macroeconomics professor about how to do my final from last semester (i had taken an incomplete grade because of illness) and instead of having to do a 60 minutes timed multiple choice and four 10 minute timed writing prompts, she’s just giving me a document to do on my own time to answer 15 essay questions. it’s literally not even due until over a month. i am BLESSED. i also have been studying my ass off for biology and it’s paying off because i got a 90% on a lab quiz that a lot of people struggled with. you can see the screen that my study group did some quizlet questions on.

the food pictures are last nights dinner with a philly cheesesteak and this morning’s coffee. i’m completely out of rhythm with my food intake but not in a disordered way just in a too focused to eat and then when i am hungry it’s in classes where i can’t eat. at least i ALWAYS have a structured dinner with my family because we meal plan for the week on sundays. i’m trying to get into eating breakfast before school which is going well, especially because my club sandwich bagel tastes better than anything in the cafeteria on campus lol

anyway, back to studying so i can relax this weekend!

September 28th:

I officially hit burnout today after going strong for three days in a row. But that being said I still got in four hours of studying. I'm going to have to start shifting gears soon as I'm fully out of time. I've come to the realization that I'm someone who is just going to have to take these exams multiple times until I pass and that I can't pass on the first try. I can read this material as much as I want and go through the flash cards over and over but it doesn't sink in. I can tell you what it says but I cannot apply it. I think I just need to work with the material for a much longer time than one month to truly absorb it. This fine but doesn't help me for Wednesday. I can give you a broad idea of what I've learned but I can't go into details and this exam is all details. Anyways I've hit my stage of acceptance.

Today's accounting topic: Creditors use debt covenants in their lending agreements to protect their interest by limiting or prohibiting the actions of the debtor that might negatively affect the position of the creditor.

Other activity: after having an absolute meltdown, I went to the gym for about 45 minuets and had a really good work out and then was able to come back and focus.

“In an experiment revealing the importance of having friendships, social psychologists have found that perceptions of task difficulty are significantly shaped by the proximity of a friend. In their experimental design, the researchers asked college students to stand at the base of a hill while carrying a weighted backpack and to estimate the steepness of a hill. Some participants stood next to close friends whom they had known a long time, some stood next to friends they had not known for long, and the rest stood alone during the exercise. The students who stood with friends gave significantly lower estimates of the steepness of the hill than those who stood alone. Furthermore, the longer the close friends had known each other, the less steep the hill appeared to the participants involved in the study. In other words, the world looks less difficult when standing next to a close friend.”

— my new favorite psychological study, done by Schnall, Harber, Stefanucci, and Proffitt and published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology.
