10 Day Study Challenge || Day 1/10 - Clean up and photograph your study space to share with us

Honestly, I’ve been a bit of a pig lately. It’s an actual breath of fresh air to see my desk clear and actual work-ready.

Now if only I didn’t procrastinate so much…

[progressionsofastudent]

I’ve been procrastinating for far too long now. I may start small, but I’m gonna start

10 day study challenge ♡

I was inspired by this post but I can’t commit to 30 days so I made my own. You’re all welcome to join - the more the merrier!

day one: clean up and photograph your study space to share with us day two: teach us a concept you’ve learnt this month that you find interesting day three: teach us a concept you’ve learnt this month that you found boring, but do it in a creative way. songs, drawings, dance, whatever day four: photograph your study fuel food and share with us day five: try a study format that you haven’t done before, like flash cards or mind maps. then share a review with us! day six: set a stopwatch and see how long you can focus without checking social media / your phone. post your best time! day seven: post a study selfie of your ideal comfort clothes! day eight: ask the questions you previously thought was too silly, and discuss how you felt here! day nine: if you could learn one thing instantly without ever needing to study, what would it be? day ten: practice self care - and post a photo of what you did to relieve stress!

It’s not “uncool” to be smart and prepared and passionate and dedicated. Ignore people who say otherwise.

Just because you took longer than others doesn’t mean you failed.

6 HABITS FOR MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY

These are the 6 habits that I try to practice in order to be my most productive self.

✔️1. Healthy Habit Tracker

The best way to be healthy, both mentally and physically, is to track your habits. This will help you to monitor when you complete the daily tasks you have set out to do. For example how much water you have drunk, if you got enough sleep and whether you have done exercise. This can also be extended to things like reading or doing certain daily school tasks which are pretty routine.

✔️2. Write It ALL Down

It helps to have everything written down that you need to do, and how much you need to get done in a day. Being able to see all of your to-do’s in one place each day will help you keep tabs on what you still have to do and the time frame in which you should be doing it.

✔️3. Plan Ahead 
Make sure you aren’t leaving things for the last minute. In my opinion, if you want to be the most efficient version of yourself, you need to plan in advance. Set aside time each day to plan the next few days or week ahead. Try as much as you can to diarise certain tasks and then plan how you are going to stick to them. By having deadlines you will motivate yourself to stick to them, and can get so much more done in a day than if you play it by ear. Trust me. [tip: reward yourself for particularly difficult tasks — like getting some new washi tapes]

✔️4. Keep Your Journal on You 
Always remember to keep your journal in the same place. I always leave mine on my desk next to my bag, so if I’m in a hurry I can never forget it. This may sound silly but making a habit of always having your journal on you is important as you never know when you will need to add something to your list, or to reference your journal. theres no point having an organised planner but you never have it on you to reference, which means you may forget half of whats in it.

✔️5. One Hour of Admin

No one likes to do admin. But its a necessity and putting it off will only make it worse. Set aside one hour of your day, without any distractions, to get all your admin done. Be it making calls and getting small things at home sorted that have been nagging you, or filing notes, and even getting things in your room in order. This would be the time to get your life in order, without doing anything that really ticks off big items.

✔️6. Treat Yo Self.

Im a solid believer in treating yourself. Long afternoon naps and strong cups of coffee, my two favourites. While treating yourself may not increase your productivity directly, and if taken too far could counter it, but by taking some tim to look after yourself you will feel less stressed and will be able to function at a higher level. I know that when I get too stressed I become forgetful and worry more about not getting things done than actually spending time on getting those things done, which is just plain counterproductive. So I invest a couple minutes a day to treat myself. It can even be a nice facial and doing my eyebrows, to having coffee with a friend at my favourite cafe. By looking after your own mental health you will be doing so much more for yourself than just having a few minutes a day of treating yourself, you will foster a healthier and happier mindset that can help you excel.

Reminder that you can get physically sick by worrying too much or dealing with too much stress. So be sure to take care of yourself.

Yes!!! This is it, thank you!!!! Must have gotten the day wrong, lol

So I'm looking for a post...

It’s quite an old one.

It was a 30 day productivity challenge, based off of a 100 day one. It had tasks you had to do for each day, the first being taking a picture of your study-space.

I can’t find it anywhere. Can anyone help?

So you failed, now what?

Don’t panic! Just breathe for a second, cry if you have to, but once the sad moment passes, get your butt into gear because it’s not over yet. You’re still breathing, and as long as you’re still breathing, you can make a change. This is mainly focused on my situation, but it may help in general.

1/. Define your goal

What do you want out of this? A degree? Experience? Is it worth all this effort or perhaps you didn’t really want this?

Realise why you’re doing this and want you really want out of this.

I wanted to get a first class degree in my field.

2/. Survey your options

Okay, you didn’t do as well as you hoped. That’s okay, we’re human, we learn from our mistakes. Before you take the first step, look at what you can do to reach your goal. Are you allowed to retake? Will you have to wait until next year? Maybe try a different route altogether?

Thoroughly explore before making a decision, you never know what might make sense.

I decided that retaking would be best, as I wasn’t that far off passing.

3/. Plan and prepare

Now that you’ve picked what road to go down, you need to plan. Chances are, you got to this point because you didn’t plan or stick to routine. Well, now it matters, so no skipping this part! There will be times when you feel you can do this later, but you won’t. That’s where the plan comes in, without it you’ll be wandering aimlessly, doing bits and pieces, but not really in a fulfilling manner.

For this part, I noted down in which areas I failed, how confident I felt in them, and set a timetable everyday from now until the exams, to study. I was also realistic about my ability to stick to said schedule. I know when I’m feeling lazy, nothing’s gonna happen, so I gave myself a ‘make-up period’ during the week to catch up on what I may’ve missed.

4/. Take action!

There’s not much to say here because you should be out doing it!. No amount of planning will ever replace hard work and action. In the words of Shia LaBeouf and Nike, JUST DO IT.

5/. Give yourself a break and keep believing!!

Like New Year Resolutions, your motivation for reform is probably gonna die after a couple days. Don’t beat yourself up about it and then succumb, instead learn what’s draining your enthusiasm. Is your schedule to harsh? Does the subject still interest? Don’t be afraid to change things to suit you better. You won’t get it right in the first go, but you will get it right eventually 😊just don’t give up, because then your chance of failing again is 100%

Your friendly study reminder...

That you should probably pick up that text book, review that topic in your notes or finish highlighting important lines in you reading material.

You can do it. You are worth it.
