Haven't posted in such a long time but I'm hoping to get back into it! 💕

I personally just went through this issue and ending up getting a MacBook Air, it's so light and the 13" I've found is perfect! It's big enough but not too big 🙌🏻 Also the battery life is great, it's around 12-15 hours without charging it. I don't have any of the adobe programs but I often have various word/excel/PowerPoint programs running whilst watching Netflix and it's still incredibly fast and lasting during the day! I'd definitely recommend it! 💕

Computers?

Hi guys! So if you’ve followed me for a while you might seen a few posts over the past few months about my laptop and just trying to elongate its life span. Right now, it seems to be running okay. It gets a little slow from time to time and sometimes overheats. But for the most part, it can run what I need (which isn’t that demanding). However since I’m thinking about expanding my studyblr journey to include YouTube (subscribe to me at emmastudies!!), etc, I’m hoping to purchase all the Adobe programs. I doubt my current MacBook Pro (2011) would be able to process these programs since it struggles when I have more than 6 tabs open on safari. For this reason, I’m thinking about purchasing a new MacBook so I can be prepared for this one’s demise :-( and use the programs anyway. I’m just wondering if you guys have any opinions? I’m wanting to stick with Apple. It is what I know and love. It’s just a debate between getting the newer MacBook (without the touchbar but I hate the fact it’s got ports that need adapters - so that really puts me off!!), a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. I’d love to hear your opinions on each laptop/the screen size/your experiences (with or without running Adobe programs) and if you have any suggestions. Please let me know in either a reply or in a message through my ask!

21/3 // I may have neglected this account for awhile... I've tried keeping up with everything but trying to post on twitter, instagram, tumblr and my blog just ended up being more difficult then I expected... but I'm going to try and get back into it once I've handed in my AS and A2 coursework ✌🏻✌🏻

14.2// It's been a little while since I last updated my tumblr! A new year has come and I'm still as unmotivated as I was the last... but here's to hoping I'll study hard and get into my top uni choice!

None of us can know everything; each of us know something and we can put the pieces together if we pool our resources and combine our skills

26.10/ 37/96 pages read... I've never known more about the history and basis of media than I do right now. It's so interesting to read about how our society has been formed and how we're socialised through what we're receiving and we don't even realise it.

How to Improve your Productivity

1. Plan your day in advance. That means you can get up and get started right away instead of frittering or wasting time. (Often writing a “to do list” is a useful idea.)

2. Decide on your priorities, and do the most important things first.

3. Also, do the hardest task first. Otherwise, they will niggle at you constantly and slowly drain away your energy.

4. Avoid multi-tasking when you’re working on something important.

5. However, it’s good to multitask when we’re doing menial, repetitive and boring tasks.

6. Ditch requests and tasks that are unimportant, and a total waste of your time!

7. Commit to NOT procrastinating. Ask a friend to keep you accountable.

8. Be organised. This includes engaging in advanced planning; knowing what you need for the task; having everything you need close at hand; bundling similar tasks together; and working in a relatively tidy and clutter-free environment.

9. Cut out distractions and avoid time wasters (social media, cell phones, highly social or demanding people etc)

10. Know what your most productive time of day is and treat that as a sacrosanct period for working.

11. Get into the habit of shutting off racing, distracting and negative thoughts. This is a crucial form of self-discipline.

12. Break large tasks down into smaller sub-tasks – and set achievable deadlines for these.
