Welcome to my new Studyblr challenge !

Hey there! I’m currently a student in a secrétaire-comptable program, starting today, training to become a secretary-accountant. But I need some body doubling to keep myself motivated in the long run, so here's a gentle challenge to ease into my new study, with each day the focus on a small progress/win to gain some dopamine boost. I will use it as a flexible guide while streaming on Twitch most morning and some afternoon.

About My Formation

My course covers key areas to prepare me for an office or accounting role: - Administrative Skills: Learning effective office management, organization, and planning. - Accounting Fundamentals: Getting hands-on with bookkeeping, budgets, and understanding financial transactions. - Business Law & Regulations: Navigating the essentials of tax and legal compliance for businesses. - Communication Skills: Developing professional communication for smooth customer and team interactions.

What to Expect Here

-Daily Study Updates: Reflections on what I’m learning, challenges and small wins along the way. - Study Tips and Organization Hacks: Sharing my best tips for productivity, note-taking and staying organized. - Encouragement & Motivation: Posts that keep me accountable and hopefully inspire you too!

Why I’m Sharing This

I’m using studyblr as a space to document my learning process, connect with others and stay motivated. It will make me reflect on my journey so I can be more mindful about what I need to learn still and what I already know.

Let’s support each other as we work toward our goals!

Solo-RPG Cadet Chronicles - The Stars Beyond

Here's what will be the gamification of my week. We're going to SPACE ! As I did not studied this week-end, I have again a backlog. The fact that we still have 8h to do each week-end and that we don't have any day off make me so anxious each start of the week. I already struggle to do the 4h a day I need to do. Errh. Will do my best again this week and hope it will suffice.

Sunday: I was so productive stydy-wise ! I made so much progress ! It as eased by the fact that a lot were about formating and respecting a graphic identity: I'm a graphist firt, so I already know all that. I also started to move all my study notes into Obsidian. It'll take some times to move all that, but being able to make links between concepts learned is already helping me so much !

Wednesday: Last week I was so productive ! So much that I did drink too much tea and did not slept well and, overall, did not take good care of myself. So this week, I'm crashing HARD. I only slept those two last days. And even today, I'm feeling out of my own body. Not good at all. I need to take care of myself first, to be productive. Not be productive and destroying my health.

Sunday: This week was a disaster. No productivity, I now have a big backlog of study I need to do. I did not took care of myself or my home. And reading 40p a day is unrealistic. I took note in private of what to change, so I'll do the work so it'll be okay. But I've accepted that being fried from monday to wednesday is not cohesive with the wish to study 10h this week. But I did not drunk too much tea and I somewhat took care of me, so next week can only be better !

[scotisfr]

Saw my psy yesterday that helped me reframe things for my formation so I can do better at managing my energie and study time, while trying to take better care of my mental health again. Let's do our best ! Today was a mix of my dreaded maths (but it should be the last of the formulas I need to learn and learn to use, so I'm doing good), some study time where I was not enough focused because I was sleepy and an horrible live study with an horrible teacher that was 2h long. I was dying inside. But I bought myself a nice kit of watercolor to keep in my bag : there's space to mix, mettalic godet and a brush, and it's in a cute format.

[scotisfr]

Maths. It’s the bane of my existence at the moment. My husband try to make it more fun. It help me, yes, but I still feel so lost. It make me feel young again, when I was struggling with my math course, even with extra hour with tutor. I hate with a passion math. But. Outside of that, I’m struggling but keeping strong on my overall course. I’m taking it slow still, I feel like I’m too slow, but I’m doing it. It’s the spirit.

[scotisfr]

Noz was kind today. I always find stuff there, I won’t lie, but today I found three books that will be useful for my current studies! It’s so great: now I just need a bit of time to study them.

I’m also sick. Yay. So it’s honey tea after honey tea, all while staying under my blanket. Luckily it’s the weekend, so I decided not to work, and it’s doing me a lot of good.

I finally managed to tidy up my desk a bit today. Challenge for the coming week? Finish tidying it up. And find rechargeable batteries for my multicolored garland I bought. I need more whimsy in my desk space.

[scotisfr]

The courses continues, but being this behind is a bit depressing. During the live session today, the instructor said to skim certain topics and focus on the exercises for the exams? So, ignore two-thirds of the training? Uh, what? I'm not doing this program for the certificate at the end, but for the training itself. So, I'll ignore that advice. But wow, it was a bit of a cold shower to hear that comment from her.

Being in this training gives me the energy to study more books on topics that interest me (currently, team management for autonomous groups), which is a good thing. I'm also making progress on personal projects that are less artistic.

I found an internship: I'll be doing it at my art workshop to help (or actually create) their internal documentation wiki, which is much needed to lighten the workload of the board members and make the volunteers more self-sufficient.

[scotisfr]

Mega busy morning: - Did the daily course - Watched the Morning Boost live - Went to the town hall for my ID card - Went to Schmil as soon as that was done so Kainou could start filming the documentary

Basically, from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., no breaks. With the mental fatigue building up since Monday, I was mentally exhausted. We ate at Schmil, which led to some conversations, and so, well, I spent the whole afternoon chatting. I tried to work on CS50X, but I only managed 10 minutes before my brain was fried. I needed that break to restart fresh tomorrow. At least the morning was productive!

[scotisfr]

Today goals: - [ ] Finish the accounting math module. - [ ] Study 4h

After that, this afternoon it's work time at my art atelier and work for my blog !

[scotisfr]

I’ve finished the communication module. All I have left to do is the end-of-module exam. I wish I had studied more, but I couldn’t manage more than 2 hours. I’d like to reach a total of 20 hours of study this week. We’ll see how it goes.

[scotisfr]

Advanced math! I went to get 9th-grade worksheets on fractions, and I finally understood, I managed to do my exercises with no problem and easily! I'm so proud of myself! I always feel like I'm behind, I should be 10% into the course, but I'm at 4%. It's going to be fine. Marathon, not a sprint.

[scotisfr]

I only had one person for the Hobby Horse creation workshop. It was fun though! She also does horseback riding, so we were able to talk really well. She already has plans for world domination and pony theft, which is perfect. It was worth putting in the effort so that the quality of the hobby horse would be there.

As for classes, I’m trying to review my math, my fraction calculations and such, but oh dear, I’ve forgotten everything I managed to learn in middle and high school. I can’t do anything in the exercises, it’s horrible. So, I went and got two illustrated math books, hoping that they will help me relearn all this mess.

To make progress and not waste too much time, I started a few courses on task management and communication. It’s less stressful, although I will have to return to math and VAT soon.

[scotisfr]

I’ve finished the five hobby horses: they’re assembled in 3D and mounted on their broomstick handles. I did papier-mâché on my own for the first time in my life, and it was both fun and a bit frustrating. At least now I know how to do it! Thanks to Félix for his advice.As for studying, I didn’t do much: just reorganizing notes. It helps me review and find topics I’ve already covered more easily.Nothing too exciting today, but it was important to get all of this done.

[scotisfr]

I’m making progress on my training, slowly but surely. Still haven’t found the time to work on CS50x. And I’m absolutely fed up with VAT stuff, but for now, I’m focusing on it.

At 1 PM, I had my first meeting with Aksis. It’s literally Activ’projet all over again. I don’t see the point, and the instructor is awful and arrogant. Safe to say, I’m thrilled about spending 17 Wednesday lunchtimes with him.

I spent the rest of the afternoon making five hobby horse bases: they look awesome! Now I just need to add some papier-mâché for the details.

There was a music jam session at the association: it was a lot of fun! And, staying on brand, I spent the evening with my mug and some tea instead of beer. The issue is that the association almost always goes for blonde beer, which I don’t really like: especially the brand we get. But it’s a local beer with a good price for associations, and they rent out the tap. So, we’re not going to stop using it anytime soon. Oh well, too bad for me.

💬 What strategies could you implement to turn this frustrating VAT experience into a more productive or tolerable learning opportunity, despite the obstacles? That’s a good question to explore. Maybe more mind mapping or graphical visualization of key concepts from the course? Actually doing the exercises during live classes? Using my Anki cards to regularly review bits of the course to retain the material better.
