Took me until about halfway through college before I realized “study” means “play with the material in a variety of ways until you understand it” and not just “read the assigned chapters and do the homework” and I think that probably should have been discussed at some point prior to that.

focus on the likes and not the wants

you may not want to clean your room, but you like the peace and call it brings you after

you may not want to study, but you like the confidence and satisfaction you get from being prepared

you may not not want to apologise, but you like the relief and connection that reconciliation brings

you may not want to cook, but you like the satisfaction of eating a healthy come cooked meal prepared with love

you may not want to exercise, but you like how you feel afterwards and how it makes you confident

you may not want to journal or write, but you like the reflection and calm it brings you

you may not want to step out of your comfort zone, but you like the new experiences and growth you gain from it

My take... past you is pleased that the work they did has got current you to this sophisticated challenge. You have no idea what future you might think just as past you could not foresee your current situation. What looked hard then looks different now.

fuuuuck i just realized that the future idealized version of myself cant exist without current me being the catalyst for change and doing hard things. has anybody heard about this

one of the biggest things I can advocate for (in academia, but also just in life) is to build credibility with yourself. It’s easy to fall into the habit of thinking of yourself as someone who does things last minute or who struggles to start tasks. people will tell you that you just need to build different habits, but I know for me at least the idea of ‘habit’ is sort of abstract and dehumanizing. Credibility is more like ‘I’ve done this before, so I know I can do it, and more importantly I trust myself to do it’. you set an assignment goal for the day and you meet it, and then you feel stronger setting one the next day. You establish a relationship with yourself that’s built on confidence and trust. That in turn starts to erode the barrier of insecurity and perfectionism and makes it easier to start and finish tasks. reframing the narrative as a process of building credibility makes it easier to celebrate each step and recognize how strong your relationship with yourself can become

STUDY ROUTINE UPDATE

THIS is how i’m going to study now. i need to start writing in Korean and French daily, even if it’s just 2 sentences about my day. i need to stop input only and being such a passive learner.

back in the day my English improved a lot through writing. because it is ACTIVE USE.

of course i’ll still listen to content and read. but hey why not summarize that stuff in a few sentences afterwards huh?

i’m so ready !!!

xoxo,

A.

I very much agree with these suggestions. Forcing myself to write was the way I could finally start to become an active rather than a passive user of the target language.

omg congratulations!!

my tips

instead of trying to fit your work within 9-5, just figure out what times you're most productive and when you're not and plan your deep work sessions around those times

download a reference manager like zotero or EndNote and use it from the beginning to organize all your articles and readings. it'll also be sO HANDY whenever you need to write a paper and add citations, as it will do all the hard work for you.

start a new hobby or reconnect with an old hobby and stick with it. if its a workout thing, join a workout class at the university's gym and treat it like a weekly meeting. if you like to leisure read, join a book club. anything that keeps you connected to what you love personally and also gets you out of the ivory tower to touch grass!

Got finally accepted into my chosen Grad School and I'm so excited to start! 🥳

📁: 카페에서 밀린 과제하기/ Finishing up my pending homework at the cafe

[lost-rxverie]

saturday | june 28 22/100 dop steps: 12k

scenes from an afternoon at the coffeeshop! while i was working a woman in her 70s complimented my reading taste and the fact that i was reading a "physical book" – so i think she's the one i was trying to impress at 12 when i carried shakespeare's complete works back and forth to school every day.

other highlights: biked to the store for some cleaning supplies, spent 45 minutes in the weight room, edited a friend's med school applications, and finished the day by adding a bunch of programs to my grad school application list.
