May 13, 2020 The only things pushing me through online classes at the moment are cups of chai tea and vanilla candles! As tests and assignment due dates approach, I have to keep my anxiety in check. Sometimes, the big picture is too overwhelming, so I must take it one task at a time, one day at a time. How are you staying calm at the moment? I am compartmentalising my assignments, reading plenty of books in my spare time, and listening to natural rain soundscapes during classes.

Studying Effectively at Home // Tip one

Just because your workplace is at home now, does not mean you have to work all the time because you’re always at home! Sounds obvious, but I’ve been high-key struggling with this. I feel like I’m obligated to study all the time.

How can we overcome this? By setting boundaries and using positive triggers.

Time: time block when you’re going to stop studying and stick by them.

Space: If you can, set up a separate place for study and avoid studying in the bedroom. If you live in a small apartment and can’t do the above, try to make some positive triggers for study vs relaxed time. For example, when it’s ‘home’ time, I slip into comfy clothes, put on my fluffy slippers, put my hair down, and turn my lamp on.

Digital: using app blockers, Forest chrome extension, etc. Using separate desktops for work vs play. I have been trying to use my laptop primarily for work and my phone for Youtube/social media. 

This is a process rather than a quick-fix, but building these boundaries will help so much in the long run! Positive triggers indicate to your body and brain what is currently happening, thereby putting you in an appropriate mindset. For more on positive triggers, I recommend reading Atomic Habits by James Clear. 

Happy studying! :)

47/100 • 11/05/2020 ❣️ this adorno chapter is taking me an eternity to read....its fascinating but such slow going. i’m also starting to burn out as the semester winds to a close. i still have the majority of my assessments to go, and cannot wait to be over the finish line.

this is a great idea <3

Hey everyone,  I know there are a lot of daily planner templates available for free, but since i made this one for myself, i thought, maybe you are interested too! :) 

I always used a bullet journal to keep track of everything, but i noticed sometimes i’m so busy, i really do not have the time to keep up with it and it takes me too long to make new spreads etc. Right now I have some difficult courses and went digital with notetaking on the ipad, i really love it. 

I use Goodnotes and I also made this really simple daily planner template on this app. I know it’s really simple and it can be copied easily, but i thought i might share since i really like templates of other people to mix it up and get a spark of motivation :)

I would love to know if you use it <3

i checked my project proposal deadline and it’s been pushed back a week [NOT my thesis]. i’m still going to try to gather my info soon, and wait until my next class to format it. today is all about paperwork!

definitely what I’ll be following!

in the past, i had to prepare for several exams by self-studying for long hours at home, so over the years i’ve learned the best ways to adapt to this situation, which i now present in this little infographic. i hope it can ease some of the pressure! 💜
