how to schedule your time (ft. Plan)

requested by anon ; web app featured is Plan

Plan is essentially a digital planner where todos and events are drag/drop, so it’s convenient and easy to make adjustments.

i swear this isn’t sponsored, although it sounds like it ha. i love this site. the app is in beta though, so you have to be on a computer to use it.

there’s a daily, weekly, and monthly view, but I use the daily view most.

you can sync with your Google calendar so all your events are already on the calendar.

every day, after i settle in at my study space, i open Plan

i add my todos / school assignments in the task bar at the top of the daily view.

then, on the timetable, i click to add events for pre-scheduled dinner time, preparing for sleep, etc.

from there, i drag and drop in my assignments into the timetable where I have free time.

adjust assignment times. for e.g., my bio review packet might take 45 minutes while french hw might take 15 minutes.

i move assignments around until nothing overlaps, and –

don’t forget to schedule breaks! i just leave some spaces empty on the timetable.

when you finish an assignment, you can click the check and IT CROSSES OUT and i feel  a c c o m p l i s h e d !!

also it’s so much much much much easier than physically writing it down, because everything is drag/drop and adjustable. say, if I take 30 minutes longer than expected on an essay, I can push everything else back by 30 minutes and still be able to have everything in order.

ALSO!!! at the end of the day, i can look back to see what i’ve accomplished that day. it’s a great feeling honestly

sorry this was kinda short! it’s getting late and i might have forgotten some things :/ send an ask if it’s confusing!!!

xo, kt

The warmth of winter.

(I’m really disappointed in myself for basically not doing anything for days. I hope that tomorrow I’ll finally manage to change it and get back to my regular routine.)

it’s a nice thought

[bisuu-studies-blog]

The last couple days have been filled with pages of notes and preparations for the coming week. There never seems to be enough hours in the day, never mind spare time to do all the reading I’d like, and I’m looking forward having a few hours to catch up this weekend.

1/02/18 How is it February already? I missed the last couple of days of january because I’ve been having a really really tough time. I’m glad I didn’t have any deadlines to worry about during it. I’ll make a long post about it. Im so glad I got the essay out of the way and done with, but I know I could have done more! Might rework it over summer? Dissertation possibly? I have a dissertation meeting today….! Emily xxxx

Some ideas for productive breaks and smart multitasking

You shouldn’t feel pressured to work all the time. By all mean take breaks, and do whatever you want during your breaks. Those are just some activities that I enjoy doing when I’m not working on my uni work. I thought that I would share them with you because they have worked wonders for me. Just pick what you like and try it out!

Watch TV shows and movies in their original language. It still feels like a break: you can get all curled up in bed and get some snacks, but you’re still practicing a foreign language. It can be anything you want, even Youtube videos or reality shows. For English learners, ororo.tv is the best website ever.

Find an online class (mooc) about a subject that interests you. It can be anything, whether it’s school related or not. It will come so handy. For instance, if you’re passionate about photography, complete an online course about it. First of all, it should be a lot of fun. But also, one day, during an interview, someone is going to ask you what your personal interests are. “I like photography like thousands of people out there” is a bit less im-pressive than “I like photography. I even completed an online class from a foreign university this year during my free time. Indeed, I love to set myself challenges”. Coursera is my personal favourite.

Sit with your friends, grab coffee, and talk about subjects that you are passionate about. Ask your friends to tell you more about that subject that they love and know a lot about, ask them questions, examples and so on. Truth is, we tend to feel annoying when talking for hours about something that we love, but we’re not. I guarantee that you’re going to discover so much about your friends’ interests and that you’ll love it. And you’re actually learning a lot at the same time. My boyfriend is really interested in new technologies, and I always ask him to tell me the latest news about it. Well last time it allowed me to take part in a conversation at work about something that he told me about, and people were actually surprised that I knew so much about it.

Download podcasts and audio books for your trips. I know I can never be bothered to read a book in the subway and I always end up on my phone so I might as well listen to something interesting.

Do more things that don’t involve a screen : go out for a walk and discover a new neighbourhood, draw and improve your skills, cook and learn a new recipe, grab a newspaper and check on what’s happening in the world, remember that learning can be fun and that it’s not only going to school.
