30 days of productivity 6/30

motivation was lowwwwww today because I worked a 9.5 hour shift :( but I woke up earlier then usual and got shit done!

I’ve started reading French for fun rather than studying, and it’s awesome! Do I understand every word? No. Do I understand the plot? Not really. But am I learning new words and grammar? Absolutely. A month ago I couldn’t even understand a word but now I get the general idea and I’m excited!

100 DAYS OF PRODUCTIVITY [45/100] 5.6.19 - another day another tea

Drinking a different type of tea while I work on a different manuscript (the other one I need to do a lot more research before I write). Had a work from 8:30-3:00pm today so I’m pretty tired but I want to write at least 2 scenes today.

Snatched my favorite study spot at the library! Doing some thought organizing before I meet with my research advisor tomorrow to discuss my project.

how to save and make money as a student

making money

tutoring! one of the easiest to make good money in limited time! you don’t have to make home calls if you sign up to an online tutoring agency and tutor over skype

sell your old clothes. to friends/classmates or online (eBay or depop are my favourite platforms)

sell your old notes. this is easily done online and a good way to make a little extra cash

sell your skills. sites like etsy and redbubble are good places to make money off your creative talents

saving money

save £1378 in a year with my free printable

make coffee and tea at home. those daily £3 coffees add up quickly

take your own mug to coffee shops. if you can’t resist the temptation of a coffee shop coffee take your own mug. pret a manger gives you a 50p discount if you bring your own mug and caffe nero gives you double stamps

don’t carry money with you all the time. this will just make you tempted to spend

never buy another bottle of water. carry a reusable bottle with you, bottled water is very very overpriced considering most cafes will refill your bottle for free

don’t use apple pay. if you always have access to money you’ll be much more tempted to go into that shop and buy the top you passed in the window

food prep! carry snacks and a packed lunch with you to avoid pricey snack bars and ready meals. this is also an easy way to be healthier

home cook. this is always cheaper than eating out and 99% of the time cheaper than pot noodles/ramen. home cooking is even more affordable if you do it in bulk or with friends

borrow and download free ebooks and audiobooks as much as possible

make good use of the library. instead of buying books borrow them for free, a library membership is often free if you belong to a university/college but a membership is still often cheaper than buying lots of books if you’re a big reader

bring reusable bags to avoid paying for plastic bags and be kinder to the environment.

go paperless. avoid printing costs and look after the environment

cut your own hair. going to the hairdressers is expensive and can be saved as a treat but if you just need to trim your split ends there’s no reason why you shouldn’t do it yourself or get a friend to help you

pre drink! if you are going out then drink alcohol at home it’s much cheaper than buying it in pubs or bars

other

use cash. it’s much easier to avoid spending money and stick to your budget when you can see exactly how much you have 

keep track of your saving and spending. i love the ‘pocket expense’ app. this will also show you what things you are overspending on 

collect coupons and loyalty cards. points make prizes!

create a culture of clothes borrowing among your friends. instead of always buying new things for events

good luck!! 📙💛

Today has been so good to me! The weather outside is a dream, I got 100% on my neuroanatomy exam, then I got myself a new plant and last but not least, I reached 20,000 followers! Thanks y'all for being such a sweet community and for bearing my more than whitewashed self-presentation :-) 🌼
