#productivity challenge to try

[progressblog]

Hello guys,

This is my blog containing study and self care related stuff. A lot of my content here is related to my day to day life and how I manage my life given the conditions I have - as mentioned below,

I have a mental health disorder called trichotillomania (to know more here) and an autoimmune disease called crohn’s (to know more here and my experience )

I am a law school drop out (my experience ), studying psychology (ba applied psychology research), based in India and I am 24 years old.

I use notion on a daily basis to keep a track of my notes and daily life.

I also journal and you can visit my current journaling template here .

If you want to know more about me then here’s my 2025 plans 2025 reading list my productivity system.

Currently, I’m doing a challenge called 100 days of mental healthcare

I am open to asks and dms but I am slow to reply so please stay patient with me.

Commuting is so energy consuming and it's just the first day of the week, and it will last for months. I do not remember being this exhausted by it on my first year of uni. The positive thing is that the general vibe in class during the lectures I am attending is so good. It's a fairly small class, and everyone is super nice and chatty. I tend to be extremly uncomfortable in social situations, but this time it's working quite well, and since this is going to be a very long class taking up the entire semester, I am glad the general feel of the people I am sharing this experience with is this good, that makes me very hopeful. I also just realized this will most definitely be the last class I will attend in person during my masters. I do not know how I feel about this realization so I'll just ignore it for now.

13/50 days of productivity:

read first thing in the morning

practiced Irish on duolingo

wrote down a general to do list for the week

started working on the second to last article for my spaces of knowledge class

ended up going down a rabbit hole looking for infomations for phd programs, because I am kind of thinking about it

went to class

continued my tmagp s1 relistening + notes (I am so not going to be make it on time for the new season but oh well)

Whumptober: Day 1

That's right, it's Whumptober, everybody!!! I'm so excited to see what everyone in our community decides to share. I'm never disappointed. I'm also trying to participate in my own little way, but I could use your help? I've already got a plot bunny captured, but I can't choose how I'd like the MC to be injured. We'll go into greater detail on Day 2! Your assistance would be duly appreciated <3

I'm up to date on my chem notes and I finished my math notes too 📝! I picked up my productivity again after a low by taking a hot shower and listening to Fabrizio Paterlini 🎶 Afterwards I focused on getting my mood back up and made up my 2024 vision board!! These will now be my goals for the year ^^

So lately life has not been very kind to me and I kinda neglected my studies, I hit a study block and now it has been very difficult to get started. Hence, I'm starting a productivity challenge. Nothing too unrealistic (like the 100 days challenge, idk how y'all do it really) but enough time to get over this block. The only way out is through.

day 1/30 of productivity

Studies

Went to the library and organized my studies step by step, in order not to feel overwhelmed with how many things I still have to do.

Right now I'm focusing on animal nutrition and anatomy

Wrote maaany anatomy flashcards

Enjoy some random cute photos I took recently🍓

[adventuresinpyjamas]

yes I know, I'm late, that is my bad... I was so depressed this morning. never fear though because I just turned myself into a vampire and it helped

I have a QotD! (question now)(or 2)

Are you studying STEM (or STEAM, i fw that), Humanities, or what? What do you enjoy about the structure of learning in your subject, and what are you jealous of in others?

personally, as a humanities student primarily (arch is too humanities to be considered STEM by STEM, and too STEM to be considered humanities by humanities), sometimes I get jealous of people who have to study for exams, like in the good old fashioned route memorisation with flashcards and stuff... sometimes my brain just needs a break and to ingrain what I know directly into my subconscious. I get burnt out from writing essay after essay after essay, especially when my discipline at my university is notoriously difficult to get HDs (7s or As) in with essays. Sometimes I just want to learn, absorb and retain rather than have to create, yk? probably only bc I'm burnt out rn tho

Day 16 /28

124

to do

edit and cut down section of essay on Newes (again)

add to section based on the new docs found? (I think I will so it's not just a source analysis)

sift through bibliography to find sources

run/walk

once again I have added more that needs to be footnoted, so get onto that

email prof

see people (I'm going insane again)

write paragraph on Fian

write paragraph on daemonologie

make sure my essay answers a fucking question for the love of god

CUT CUT CUT CUT CUT (it is time to start culling words because I have no intro/ conclusion/ Daemonologie paragraphs and my wc is like 4.5k)

Aim for:

write intro and conclusion

cite as much as I can

choose semester subjects or AT LEAST look at pre-reading for Tudors and Rome

bibliography hhhhhhhh

I am sitting at the library and I look like a vampire for accountability, the only thing that is ruining my Dark Academic (tm) look is my massive fuckin computer....

also I realised yesterday how much I HATE using computers to study, I function so much better on physical paper... rip to me I should never have started taking notes on paper at age 10

Duo

3/3 lessons

0/7 spoken exercises

5/5 80% or higher

Forest

0/1 any tree

0/45 mins any tree

0/80 mins Plum Blossom (not a chance it is locked still)

sorry for the insanely long post btw oops

wish i could give you a hug about your migraines and medication struggles. you deserve to be cared about accommodated

thank you <3 to be clear so far i haven't encountered anyone who's been uncaring or unaccommodating about it. i'm mostly just frustrated at...not necessarily myself, i guess, but at the mere fact of experiencing new existential challenges in my daily life. it's hard and scary to admit that i'm struggling, it's hard to ask for help, and it's hard to do so with the knowledge that most people have very little real way to help other than going "that's rough, buddy"

“do the hardest task first”

no. just… no.

hot take: this doesn’t work for people with adhd (in my experience/from what i’ve heard from other people with adhd in my life). i recommend doing the easy/moderately difficult stuff first, that way you can convince yourself that it’s all going to be this easy and undemanding. then hyper-focus will kick in because your brain is like, “yeah, we can do this, we’ve got this.” then, before you know it, you’ve completed both the easy tasks and the hard tasks while hyperfocusing.

like, on a serious note, it’s always been easier for me to convince myself to get the most difficult tasks done when i’m already working/in the working frame of mind, not when i’m laying in bed or sitting on the couch, mindlessly scrolling through stuff on my phone, and struggling to start at all.

if the choice comes down to you not starting at all or starting with the easiest task first (which, for me, it often does), always, always pick starting with the easiest task first. sometimes you need a small victory, a little bit of an accomplishment, to give you the courage to take on bigger challenges.
