A lot of marketing books are a mix of actual advice and just common sense things. They have to pad the text with something I guess. Capitalism hell market where most books on the market / required for class is 50% padding 30% common sense 15% anecdotes 5% useful advice.

Reading a marketing book and absolutely loving how common it is to get something like “there are factors in your control and out of your control, you should control the factors in your control and adjust to ones out of your control”

Like thanx, that is called existing in the world.

If not now, when?

We in Labor aren’t hurting our industry. We’re fighting to save it from predatory sociopaths who will gleefully watch people lose their homes and go hungry, rather than release 2% of their grotesque wealth to ensure a healthy industry for everyone.

In 1960, SAG and WGA struck to force management to adapt to the new technology of television. Without that strike and the agreement it birthed, residual use payments would not exist.

oh it's going down

Along with stepping away from all film and television productions worldwide, actors will not be permitted to take part in promotional work of any kind, including press junkets, film premieres, and fan events like San Diego Comic-Con.

Sources also say that SAG-AFTRA has informed publicists that any scheduled press or acting work after a strike is ordered must be cancelled. SAG-AFTRA members are also not permitted to promote any work on social media, as that is considered publicity.

Actors are permitted to attend the pop culture convention as long as they don’t take part in any panels that promote a specific film or television show or discuss any current or future work. While attendance is allowed, individuals with knowledge of the publicist meeting tell TheWrap that SAG-AFTRA would prefer that its members completely skip the event [SDCC] later this month.

talking about my period with analytical business major language:

"ok so day 5 we're still in the red"

"projected increase in flow of 10% by tomorrow"

"end of the week we're gonna see a marked decrease in blood and tissue"

"last quarter saw an overall lighter flow, q2 the body's been hard at work for a greater payout"

Tips for a super busy life

If you're a college student, chances are you're busy. If you're a college student with a job, you're super busy. And sometimes things get hectic and out of hand. As someone who works full time and does school full time and has pets here are some of my favorite tips!

Don't have a super firm schedule for the small things. Don't block in times for things like lunch, baths, or reading. Sometimes things get insane and you need to have flexibility to move things around.

Slept in your makeup? Get some olive or coconut oil and clean the smudging around your eyes. Put on a light color shimmer shadow on your lids, put your highlighter a little higher than normal, and if you have dry skin, throw some on your brow bones, nose, and chin. Doing this will help give you a more refreshed look, making it seem like you got your sleep and keep up with skin care. Make sure to moisturize if you have time and remember to take it off when you get home.

Pack your bag/lunch/whatever the night before. I promise you, you're going to forget something in the morning so make sure it's done and ready for you to grab and go in the morning.

Cook big meals. Cook enough for 3 or 4 people when you cook. It takes maybe 5 minutes longer and will give you several meals.

Schedule one day a month where you do nothing. No chores, no work, no study. Nothing.

Getting up early not only let's you get things done sooner, but it makes you want to go to bed earlier, keeping you out of trouble. You'll save some money too.

Let your professors know when the semester starts that you're working and have family things and talk to them about the course load, assignments, etc. A lot of times, they'll help you out and extend deadlines when needed.

Make friends in class. You can borrow notes on days you miss.

Clean as you go. Wash dishes while cooking, put clothes in the hamper while changing. Put things away after use. It saves so much time and stress.

Sweep every day. Trust me on this.

If you're on campus, just study on campus. Don't waste time in a commute.

Work on assignments as soon as you get them.

Study a little bit evey day. Make flashcards on your phone. I recommend the flashcards app. I use it and have the premium version and it's amazing. I can study while I'm at work, walking between classes, etc.

If you're buying something you use a lot of, shop price per ounce and buy it in bulk. It'll save you time, money, and stress. For example, I eat a lot of rice because it's easy, fast, and cheap. I buy the 5lb bag for $0.07/Oz and it can last me a month sometimes. Fewer trips to the store yes please.

Freeze your fruits and veggies and basically anything else. Stocks, soups, sauces, meat, everything. This way you can cook a bunch at once and freeze it and have it whenever you're in a time/money crunch.

Use your pets as your daily exercise. Take them for a walk, run around the house with them, whatever. But they'll get you up and moving.

Take super good notes in class

Find songs about the topic you're studying and listen to them while on your commute.

Take time every day to move, eat, clean, and relax. Trust me, you'll get more done if you take care of yourself.

Get your vitamin levels checked

Keep jackets, umbrellas, keys, and shoes by the door.

Buy your paper products in bulk.

Crockpots are your new best friend. Throw some shit in there before you leave for the day and come home to fresh, hot dinner! And yes you can make much more than just stews and dips in them! They sell small ones at Walmart for like $15

Eat in the mornings. Please

Water will give you energy in the morning

Keep your things organized. And again, put them back after use.

Please feel free to add your own!!!!!

One of the best pieces of advice I can give to anyone in university is to schedule time for yourself. Schedule it just like work or a class or study time. You don't answer emails, don't work on assignments, you don't do anything "productive". Ignore the work group chat. Ignore the class group me. This is time for you and only you. Not catch up time. Not study time. Nothing.

Won't I fall behind? This was super hard for me as a chronic workaholic. If I'm not busy doing something I feel like I'm going to fall so far behind. But since doing this, I've been so much better. My relationships with people have improved 100x. My attitude at work is amazing. My schoolwork is so much better and felt less stressful. My GPA went up like crazy. I socialize now. I've gotten healthy. My house is clean. I haven't killed a plant in a couple of months.

How does it work so well? I realized that pushing myself constantly and working all the time caused me to snap and burnout. And when I snapped I would try to get all those late night parties in. All those fun times I missed out on because I was busy. I wouldn't have energy to do anything. I would get sick for a whole week. But once I started taking me time seriously and doing it a couple nights a week, I stopped binging on parties and sweets and stopped getting sick. I started having more energy, more confidence, and more love. I became more pleasant to be around and much nicer to myself. I realized the world wouldn't end and I wouldn't fall behind for a taking a few hours for myself every week.

What should I do? Besides put your phone on silent and put the work away, that's up to you! It was very very hard for me at first, but now it's becoming second nature. I like to cook, take bubble baths, read, paint, do some embroidery, read poetry or various religious texts to my plants (I'm weird and believe they like to be read to and I absolutely love reading religious texts from different religions), or make candles! These are all activities outside of my productive activities like studying, taking a walk, cleaning, getting groceries, etc. I usually blast my music while doing some of these and just exist in my own little world for a couple of hours. I have learned that I am not what I produce for society, but what I do to nurture myself and society.

I encourage everyone who asks for advice to try to do this. And to schedule it in. Not just do it whenever. To have a set schedule for it. I encourage all you to do the same! Especially when life gets super busy and hectic!!!!!

Oh protip for recently diagnosed glasses-wearers, that they don't necessarily tell you at any point in the acquisition process:

The 'polishing your glasses on your shirt' trope in fiction goes back to when glasses were actually made with glass, which is as you learn in any introductory geology course fairly abrasion-resistant.

Modern lenses, which are plastic--yeah yadda yadda hi-poly resin blah blah, it's plastic--are less robust, and if you go around rubbing smudges off on random fabrics without rinsing off any and all dust particles first you will micro-scratch them foggy faster than you'd like.

One thing that can really help with repeated tasks (dishes, laundry, sweeping/mopping a room) is timing yourself when you do a typical session.  Especially if you really don’t like doing something, it can feel like it takes a lot longer than it actually does. 

Stupidly, knowing that you’ll only be doing the dishes for ten minutes (ten minutes! you spend longer than that just getting to the grocery store!) can make it less horrible to do the dishes, because your brain is going, “Well this sucks, but at least it will be over in a few minutes.”

Not stupidly, it makes it easier to keep on top of things that need to be done every day or so. If you’re like “I’ve got half an hour before I need to leave for work/my friend is picking me up/bedtime” and you know that washing the dishes takes ten minutes and wiping down the counters takes five minutes, then you don’t even have to have that conversation with yourself about whether or not you’ve got time. 

It can also help with running late–if you’ve got 30 minutes and you know that running a load of laundry takes 40 minutes instead of having this vague idea of it taking 30 minutes, you know not to bother until you have 40 minutes.

How I limit my productivity and why you probably should too

Yes. I limit my productivity. I monitor my time being spent on being "productive" and doing things that are focused on growth instead of existence. Now I don't mean to say that I just ignore myself and don't try to be a better person. I'm talking in context of stereotypical social media productivity; things like studying for hours, working extra shifts, maximizing time spent on growth podcasts and self help books instead of indulgences like music and fantasy novels. I don't mean analyzing your bad behaviors and working on breaking bad habits. I'm talking more on the lines of marketable growth.

I have noticed a major increase over a couple years in people trying to be as productive as possible. They prioritize productivity and growth (again talking more of the marketable, social media style, not personal) and minimizing time spent living and merely existing. We are sprinting a marathon it seems. And I do not like sprinting. Or even running. It's my most dreaded part of my gym time. I acknowledge that it is necessary, and so is spending time being productive and working on your marketable growth. But it shouldn't be the main part of every day, just like sprinting for 10 minutes on a treadmill shouldn't be the main part of every workout you do.

I love informative podcasts just as much as the next person and TED Daily is a favorite for sure, as well as various fish and nature podcasts are too! But I limit these to my hour+ commute to campus every other day. When I'm walking around, I listen to music or maybe a "brain numbing" podcast (ones that don't make you think and comprehend and analyze things like story ones [magnus archives eg] or paranormal or mythology or crime style podcasts). I listen to pleasure things, not to thinking things. This gives my brain noise that's just noise. It let's my brain slip out of analytical scientist mode for a while and maybe dance while I walk around!

My gym time is scheduled. I spend the scheduled time in the gym and I enjoy it so much! But when it's not gym time, it's not gym time. I do my morning stretches and yoga and I do my hour in the gym every other day. This is time purely for the gym and nothing else. It's a great release but can also become taxing very quickly, so I only think about it when it's time to.

Study time is the same. It's scheduled and I study when it's study time. I don't walk around and look at flashcards anymore. This is not helpful at all and you could easily hurt yourself or others. You won't retain the information really and you're just adding extra stress into your already stressful life.

I have a schedule for my week and I block out my productive times. My gym time. My study time. My intellectual reading time. My information podcasts. All those things. But I schedule them AFTER I have blocked out classes, work, my slow mornings, chores, and pleasure items like a hair mask night or a night out or something. Of course I make time for improving myself and like I said they are also scheduled, but not with more importance than my actual life. And I also make sure that I know to be flexible with myself. Sometimes I have to add in extra study time and reduce time spent elsewhere if I have a test or something. Sometimes I get sick or I lose track of time while playing video games. Sometimes I sit in the bath way longer than I should. And that's ok. Sometimes we need to have the discipline to put pleasure aside EVERY NOW AND THEN and Sometimes we need the grace to put productivity on the back burner EVERY NOW AND THEN.

Don't ignore your responsibilities, but don't ignore your life either. So please, make just as much time for your pleasure as you do for your productivity. They're both important, but don't let school and life weigh you down so much that rain is annoying and angering and that you miss your niece's 3rd birthday. Dance in the rain. Jump in the puddles. Spin and laugh as you get soaked. And eat the easy bake cakes your little cousin bakes. And read your friend's kid a story. And draw little doodles in your notes. And smile. And try to make someone else smile. And drink your too sweet, too hot coffee. And listen to that song that you'd be embarrassed if anyone knew you liked it. Please don't forget to live.
