things to do instead of doomscrolling on social media🌷

language learning - apps such as Duolingo are perfect for bitesized language lessons that you can fit easily into your life- I'm currently learning German and Arabic on Duolingo.

clear your email inbox - if you're like me, your email inbox is full of emails (bad habit I know), so spend a few minutes each day sorting it out. it's just as important to have a tidy digital space as it is to have a tidy physical space.

journal - I love to journal to vent my feelings, but I also love to be creative, I've used things such as wrapping paper, receipts, ribbon and clothes tags in my journal to create interesting pages

read - I love finding a book I can read and get lost in, its the best feeling to read for hours just engrossed in a book.

play puzzle games - I have a few puzzle/logic games on my phone and iPad, and it makes me feel less guilty for being on my phone if I'm playing one of these games that's good for your brain

colouring books - this is a really simple way to keep yourself occupied, and is something relaxing you can do before going to sleep. there are also colouring apps you could download on your phone or tablet which is a more portable option.

paint your nails - I love painting my nails and learning how to do nail art, it's such a valuable skill.

read an article from The Guardian long read - these articles are so interesting and on a range of subjects, I highly recommend them. you can find them here: The long read - The Guardian 

read articles from The European Correspondent - these articles are so useful for keeping up to date about everything happening in Europe, and you can read about specific regions as well. you can also sign up for their daily email newsletter which is fascinating. you can find it here: The European Correspondent

do an online course - you can find a huge variety of courses online, from websites such as Coursera and from many universities as well.

go for a walk - getting outside for some fresh air is always a good idea, and even a 10 minute walk is 10 minutes that you're not scrolling, it all adds up.

I hope you find this useful! I know it's been forever since I've posted on here, but I'm going to try to post more often.

May the love you attract in 2025 feel soft, nourishing, reciprocal, and easy. Not traumatizing, ill-timed, or emotionally immature.

how to revise effectively

revision is a very important part of education, but many people have no idea how. in this post i'm going to outline the basics of revision. it's important to note that different subjects will require you to revise differently, there is no one size fits all when it comes to revision.

less is more- studying for 30 focused minutes is way more effective than a 5 hour study session while you watch tv.

work on exam technique- this is such an overlooked part of revising for an exam, but if you know how to answer the questions and what structures to use, it will really help you. ask your teacher or search for your exam board online to find out the best way for your subject and exam board.

manage distractions- if like me you get distracted super easily, you need to create an environment with limited distractions. this means put your phone on do not disturb, if your house/place of study is noisy put some headphones on and listen to classical music or study ambience (my favourites are the Harry Potter rooms by Asmrweekly on youtube). if you get distracted while studying by thinking of things you need to do, something that's really helped me is to have a piece of paper next to me that i can write all my thoughts on, so i can continue studying and do what i've written afterwards.

set precise goals for your study session- this helps to reduce procrastination. for example, if I put "study geography" on my to do list i'll procrastinate, but if I put "do 30 flashcards for the topic hazards" I have a clear idea of what I need to do

use the pomodoro method- having breaks is really important in keeping you engaged while you're studying. I don't follow the typical timings, but I usually do between 30-45 minutes of studying followed by a 10-15 minute break depending on how I'm feeling

utilise your study breaks- it's so easy to pick your phone up and scroll through tiktok until you realise your 5 minute break turned into a 3 hour tiktok binge. when I go on a study break, I only go on my phone to snap people back, or for a little scroll on pinterest. I also like to get some more water, grab a snack and stretch. If I'm having a longer break, I'll try to get outside and go for a walk, especially if the weather is good (in England this is about 5 days of the year haha)

now, onto different ways to revise

doing past papers

doing flashcards

making timelines

doing essay plans

making mindmaps

blurting

quizzes

if you study languages, practicing translations or specific types of questions that come up in the exam (for my exam board this is things like gap fill activities, 90 word listening or writing summaries, finding synonyms in a text etc.)
