🕊️ they’re saying that if you’re working from home and there’s a huge thunderstorm in the late morning you can go back to bed for an hour and a half.

time for my annual isolation in the country, and i cannot catch a break from microbes 🦠

[lacaffeina]

The coffee hit me with the zombie mode, brain not connected exe, afternoon coma, so i paused my pomo timer and slept for 1h. Now back to business, reading and studying.

[lacaffeina]

so i thought i was alone on the 'can't study at my desk dedicated to studying' train, but apparently not. if you're here too, what is your problem with your desk? i'm genuinely curious.

i think with me, what messes me up is the access to the couch behind me when the eepy™ hits as well as general access to youtube. it's just easy to procrastinate and go on low energy mode.

23.06.2025—starting to study from my desk. feeling very proud of myself

5 June 2025

I was working hard for the last few months, plus I didn’t have a stable situation in my life (I still don’t have one).

However, I chose discipline and decided to study German more deeply and consciously. So now I have classes every day at the inline school (it’s already 25 days in a row). I am proud of myself and I am back creating content 🌱

studying isn't always aesthetic, and that is totally ok.

not every study session is accompanied by a cool bright matcha and and a perfect messy bun. not all of your notes will be written in beautiful looped cursive and perfectly highlighted.

sometimes the only way you can study is in your pyjamas, sometimes the only place you are sitting down long enough is the bus, sometimes your notecards are tatty and ripped.

you don't always have to be perfectly aesthetic, let go of your performative notes, write notes that help you.

wear things that are comfy and easy to concentrate in.

be gentle with yourself, learn what works for you and stick to it.

the only tolerable thing about summer is that everything is lush green — thankfully my apartment is under the shade of a chestnut tree.
