Im prepping to start a new (online) term (yeah, my uni is weird and does not do semesters like everyone else) and trying to place all my assignment dates together so I won't forget any (which happened with a test last term).  

Online learning means new challenges and I'm trying to set everything up so when the covid-depression hits I'll be able to keep working. If anyone wants to share what are you doing to improve your online learning experience, feel free to share!!

Productivity from Home

Some tips for anyone who is stuck at home due to Covid - 19

As many of use are stuck in self-isolation as work and school moves into an online format, I was wanted to share some of my best tips for remaining productive, and not going crazy, when you can’t leave the house.

1. Keep your space clean.  A simple concept but good to keep in mind, give your space a really good deep clean right now, and then keep things keeps by wiping down counters, doing your dishes, making your bed, and putting away clothes daily. 

2. Keep yourself clean When you are not seeing anyone it can be easy to fall into a rut of wearing the same sweatshirt every day and not washing your hair, but it is so important to stay feeling clean and fresh when you cant leave the house. Feeling good about yourself will help you stay more productive, and the acts of showing, doing your hair, and changing your clothes are little self-care things that are easily overlooked when you are not leaving. 

3. Build new routines Now that you don’t have to leave the house this is a great time to introduce new habits into your life. Always wanted to wake up at 5:00am? Give it a try! Want to do a meditation every evening? Go for it!

4. Connect with friends Don’t sacrifice your group meetings, Skype them in. Study with friends over FaceTime, or just call a loved one to chat for a little. Self isolation doesn't need to feel lonely. 

5. Freshen the air Try to open the windows at least one a day to clean out your space. Have a nice candle going at night, or put your diffuser on during the day. Keeping you space smelling fresh is essential to not feeling like you are trapped.  

6. Make a plan Know what you have to do and schedule it. Try to schedule blocks of work and rest for yourself.  And ensure you are accomplishing a few things on your to-do list every day so that you don’t feel like you are falling into a slump! (Note: this can be something as simple as make the bed, take a shower, or eat a nice meal.)

Extra Little Tips:

Move every day (some yoga, a dance party by yourself, anything)

Drink lots of water 

Make sure you practice self-care: this is a stressful time!

Do a face mask, or paint your nails

Don’t wear pajamas all day, but you can stay comfy!

Bake some yummy snacks

Watch new movies or start a new tv show 

Treat yourself kindly in this hard time.

Day 6/100 days of productivity 

Had my first semester end examination today. It was for the class Communication in English and it was the first university exam that I have ever taken. I still haven’t gotten used to how different the structure of coursework and examination in college is from that of school. Hopefully, I’ll soon become comfortable with the alien ways of college and thrive✨

3/7 days of productivity

Today we went through a pretty gross practical where we had to put some maggots through a maze and see if they would turn left or right - riveting I know.  After various classes where I was semi-productive, I came home and did that work on epigenetics.

I did end up speaking to my teacher - and what she said my not be what I wanted to hear, but I think her opinion does have value and I should probably consider it...

Tomorrow I need to write my biology essay and finish the psychology one. I also need to see my teacher about writing up my practical  - since I will not be around during the deadline so I need to hand it in early.

Hi, Hello! Long-time no post lol, yesterday we decided to get some work done in our school’s library. I mostly went through the different stages/ emotions one goes through when trying to get their physics homework done all the while entertaining M 😂. 

Note: It’s been a long time since we’ve decided to take up posting on this account again but yesterday really gave me the incentive to so, hope you guys get motivated too with our posts to come :)! - C

Personally, one of my goals is to listen to more podcasts but I never seem to get to it. Here’s a list of ideas for when you can listen to podcasts! 

when on the car/bus

when in a long line

when taking a walk (use your best judgement)

when doing mindless chores (eg. laundry)

when cooking

when cleaning

when journaling

when getting ready in the morning

when preparing to go to bed

when you have nothing to do

when surfing the web

when driving (use your best judgement)

when organizing

when exercising

when doing mindless work

when walking a dog (or any other pet that is walked)

when playing video games

when editing

when eating alone

when showering/taking a bath

when waiting for an appointment

You can try to fit in podcasts in places where you normally listen to music. If you have any other ideas, please comment to share!

Continuing with this month’s gouache theme!! (I’m actually loooving it)

Today I wasn’t productive, just napped and read fanfic all day long (which shouldn’t surprise me considering that i was running on 5 hours of sleep). Exams are just 2 weeks away and i can’t bring myself to study for them... Which is no good, at all. 

But that’s all right, i used today to prepare myself for this week (remade my schedule to something more realistic, tidied up my room, etc).
