2/100 days of productivity

Happy Wednesday! Although yesterday's evening productivity has considerably fell down, today I’ve completed almost all the things I had written the day before. My morning started at 6:20 and I made myself a very delicious breakfast which I will attach below. Also, I have a doctor’s appointment at 4 p.m. (I cancelled the photo session in forest with my friend because of that), so I need to finish all the plans till that time. 

read 2 chapters from the book

watch a lecture from TED talks

get consultation and treatment from a doctor

workout (marathon by TGym on YouTube) - 30 minutes

watch a video from speaking test and train with my own speech

learn new vocabulary (art)

watch an episode from “Les Miserables”

1/100 days of productivity

Good morning! Today is March 19 and I start my productivity challenge. 

I woke up at 5 a.m., did yoga, and baked puncakes with honey. I also printed out my yearly goals and hung them on my mood board in order to remember them every time. 

Six days left till my exam results.. That is why I still cannot understand how I should act further and, therefore, create a new study plan. So, yet I am kind of resting) But anyway, I want to be engaged in self-actualization and broadening my mind as well as gradual preparing for the next entrance exam (I have a great felling that everything will be excellent)

My to-do list for this day:

read 3 chapters from the book

make summary on the lecture from TED talks (the topic was “Our dangerous obsession with perfectionism is getting worse” by Thomas Curran)

learn new topic vocabulary (crime and punishment; outer space)

write an essay (renovating old buildings VS building new constructions)

listening training

give money for the graduation 

squat 300 times + plank for 5 minutes 

meditate 

watch an episode of “Les Misérables” - I will write a feedback after watching enough episodes 

Let’s get things done!

“Coffee is a lot more than just a drink; it’s something happening. Not as in hip, but like an event, a place to be, but not like a location, but like somewhere within yourself. It gives you time, but not actual hours or minutes, but a chance to be, like be yourself, and have a second cup.”

— Selected Writings, Gertrude Stein (b. 3 February 1874)

About Myself

Hello, everyone! Today’s March 18, 2019, and I start writing personal blog here. Briefly about me: I am a girl of 17 years old who is seeking for the future of her dream. I’ve been always trying to create an ideal version of myself by following the principle: “dream. plan. do.”  Now, my current main goal is to enter the University of My Dream (I’ll tell about it in details a bit later), which is considered to be the best uni in my country! I’ve already passed the crucial examinations, and the results will be just in a week. After that, I also need to prepare for the last stage of this entrance process, and that’s it! I am a student!  Besides, I am also desirous of managing my time and ticking off each task in my daily to-do list. In other words, being capable to combine healty lifestyle, studying, socialization, self-actualization and other hobbies is what I am aiming for.  I’ve created this blog in order to motivate and inspire you on braking away from negative habits and start approaching towards your goals and dreams step by step, little by little. So, let’s be productive and purpuseful together! I’d like to begin with a 100 Days of Productivity Challenge: do al least one thing which will make me closer to my goals and post images of the process here. I hope you will join me and make your deams to be reality!
