1. Listen to your body.

You cannot study in an emotional state–it’s just not compatible with digesting material. I personally tried for years to study through anxiety and panic attacks, through tears, through constricted chests and racing hearts; even when I managed to “pull it off,” the performance would end up average at best. Before you approach your work, try practicing mindfulness (i.e. any practice that grounds you). Here’s a helpful introductory article.

2. Study in an environment catered to YOU.

Once you’ve listened to your body, cater your study environment to it. You should not have to bully or discipline yourself into working. For some people, working in a windowless white room is where they work best; however, if for you that sounds like pure torture, don’t do it. Don’t settle for a workspace just because someone told you its optimal study set-up. Try it out, of course, but if it’s not for you, that’s okay. Then you can try studying outside, on the porch, in that one comfortable chair in the living room, at your desk surrounded by candles with some hot chocolate, on the living room floor with pillows near some plants, and so on!

3. Forgive yourself for the inevitable missteps.

Any perceived failure can be particularly heavy, often amplified by mental illness. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned on my health journey so far is to take a setback as it is and move forward. Don’t decide to overwork or otherwise punish yourself–move onto the next assignment or module and try to supplement it with the material with which you previously had trouble. Don’t force yourself to stay up all night rewatching lecture videos; instead, write out a schedule for future lecture videos. As the classic saying goes, study smarter not harder.

oh to be a student in the middle of a pandemic 🥴 for real though working from home and via zoom classes has been a big adjustment (at least i can work in my pjs). I’m about 5 weeks into my third year (of four) at uni and I swear the reading list never goes down, but I finally got goodnotes for my iPad so I can highlight readings and make notes directly on pdfs 📝 ✨

honestly this last week has been a lot, so I decided to work from home today - giving me a chance to get ahead on lecture notes and work on my essays (from the comfort of my bed, whilst listening to Fleetwood Mac) 🌼

you know when you have two essays and a presentation due on the same day, that’s my life right now (and boy am I stressed). I’m behind on readings too but I know I’m trying my best. My goal for today is to finish my social policy essay (only have a few things left to add to it) and maybe make at start to the political philosophy readings I have. Hope your Sunday is more chill than mine 💗 here’s to next week being lest stressful 🤞🏼

Wednesday’s are my only day off, allowing me to catch up with readings and assignments (or nap). My first assignment of second year is due on Monday along with a presentation, thankfully it’s only a short piece of work.
