saturday, 27/04 — 24° ☁️

today, i stayed most of my time in bed, just rotting away watching foundation. i did the dishes, planned some stuff i want to study, made me and my mom some cake and took a shower. and that was it. oh, and i played stardew valley.

I've been wanting to get rid of social media (mostly twitter, tiktok, insta, and those youtube shorts), as, because of it, i keep having days like this. i could have done so much, and instead, i just stayed in bed doing nothing at all.

tomorrow, i will probably have a tiring day. our laundry machine broke, and I'll have to do laundry the old way for now. hopefully this handy task will get me out of this slump.

ep. 15 of queen of tears just launched, and im avoiding cause i know i will suffer, lol.

gentle reminder you can rise up from everything. you can recreate yourself. nothing is permanent. you are not stuck. you have choices. you can think new thoughts. you can learn something new. you can create new habits. all that matters is that you decide today and never look back.

wednesday , 24/04 — 26° ☁️ cloudy

◗ i had a tiring day, lots of working and cleaning. i used my free time playing stardew valley, and finally, i learned how to fish. had some bad moments concerning my mom and sister. but im managing how i deal with my feelings, how i can focus on myself.

◗ i made some changes to my notion pages, and im finally using it for real, haha. i use it to organize everything in my life, from studies to finances. to-do lists i mainly use todo mate, been using it for three months now.

◗ honestly, i hope to accomplish more tomorrow and see if i can get a day off of work. organize my college and extracurricular studies, because today (07pm right now), i ain't doing nothing else on my to-do list. sorry, sorry.

can you even study Python if there’s not at least one snake doodle in your notes?

the reason those "hundred days of productivity" type challenges work isn't that everyone you see doing them magically has eight times more motivation than you. it's that it forces you to stop thinking of things you do as tasks to complete but rather goals to accomplish. its why you see people listing going to the store or cleaning something as productivity bullet points rather than just studying. it's why you see so many people phrasing it as "today I managed to...". it's extremely effective and a much more positive outlook, and it only comes with practice

Most of my Korean studying materials. Sometimes just looking at this photo makes me feel more motivated. 화이팅!
