Last update before I go to bed tonight (currently 02:16 am). Or more like a reflection on the day-

I accidently overslept due to me staying up past 3am the previous night. I woke up somewhere after 10:00 and went to make breakfast and coffee for myself (now just past 11:00). Spent the rest of the morning watching How I Met Your Mother (great show if you enjoy multi tasking).

Washed my face etc. 13:00-ish and finally got to work at 13:45 with my committee responsiblities. Unexpectedly that took me longer than I anticipated so I only finished right after 15:30. I printed out my notes and garthered my learing material.

Coffee break: obviously

Started studying just before 17:00 and had a great study session until 19:55 when I had to go spend time with visiting family members. Since I'm vegitarian I also had to prepare my own food.

Got back to studying 20:25 and continued until just before 21:00, at which point we had dinner and waffles. After that my concentration broke and I was only able to go back to studying at 23:40 until just after 02:00.

I hope my planning for tomorrow works out better. It would honestly be great✌🏻

Anyhow, nightnight and remember to dream

23 november 2020,

Today we interviewed the potential new candidates for my committee. It felt strange sitting there and remebering that not even a little more than a year ago I had to go through the same thing.

As for my academics: I'm officially going to start studying at 22:00 after clearing my head a bit and preparing for a study session.

Me and my boyfriend also started watching The Legend Of Korra a few weeks ago and I can't wait for tonight's episode! We would've watched it last night...but I fell asleep (typical but hey, I was tired☆)

Anyhow, nightnight and remember to dream.

Hayhay and welcome to my daily updates of things I manage to achieve in my life!

A little self-summary of me:

•20 y/0

•female

•bisexual

•2nd year student

•artistic

Why start this? What is my goal?

This page will act as a platform where I document events I'd like to share. I also enjoy posting things and thoughts throughout the day and since nobody knows me on this app, I can feel more comfortable with expressing myself.

Finally this will feel like a mini reward each time I finish something and will be able to look back and get perspective on my life.

So here we gooooo✌🏻

Attention Management: How to Take Control and Live Intentionally

We live in an age of information, and it’s becoming even more difficult to be in control of our attention. Every second, it seems like there’s something new to be consumed, something new to pay attention to. Because of this, it’s important to take control of our attention and more intentional about how we spend our time, and we can do so by practicing attention management.

‘eat the frog' method

Hi all, it’s werelivingarts. I just stumbled across this method called ‘eat the frog’, which means you get the most difficult or important task out of your way first. I actually have been using this method for a long time, hope this post gives you a new way of managing your time and productivity! 😜

“If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.” – Mark Twain

Here is a list of some YouTube ASMR ambiences/soundscapes (they’re all hyperlinked, so click away!) Unlike traditional ASMR, these videos do not feature any people. Talented YouTubers have used software to create rendered environments with layered sounds, with many of these ambiences inspired from fantasy to others based in reality. I find music with lyrics to be distracting sometimes, but these are great background noises for focusing, studying, doing homework, and even for relaxing. Enjoy and good luck ♡

Executive Dysfunction & ADHD study tips! 😙 🌷 😘

I’ve collected study tips from myself and others who struggle with studying. Here’s a masterlist of strategies people use to help :) For those curious, #3 is my personal favourite and is probably the main reason I didn’t flunk all of my classes this year. Feel free to add your own!

Sleep, eat, exercise. The basics. Treating my body right helps me keep a routine and makes me less prone to impulsivity. This makes it a little easier for me to do the things I need to do and fight back my executive dysfunction.

Play idle games while working. Anonymous says “I get bored very, very quickly and need constant stimulation, so every time I have to wait for something, I will immediately divert my attention. Having an idle game running helps me not to lose too much focus, so I get more work done as a result.”

Use a tutor. Since I can’t follow self-imposed deadlines, I create external deadlines by booking tutoring appointments. This forces me to make sure I have at least a basic understand of the material before the session so I know what to go over. Most schools have free peer tutors available, so take advantage (if your school doesn’t, try a study group)! This is a great way to create deadlines you can follow, and it always helps to study with someone who can answer your questions and keep you on task.

Play music. @luminarily says “Sometimes I sit in silence and I get bored of it or I get a song stuck in my head or something. But I have forcibly linked music playlist and actually doing something I need to do so that when I put on music I am automatically forced to do the work I was supposed to do. So it makes the work and the listening more enjoyable both and it’s easier to stay on task… I use unpaid youtube on my phone so I can’t leave the tab or else I can’t listen to music anymore so I can’t go on my phone. And also youtube mobile lets you set watch time timers, so when my music stops I take a break and don’t burn out!”.

Play ambient noise. Similar to #4. I am not stimulated enough when taking notes, reading textbooks, etc., but listening to music can be too much and makes me stressed. I like to play ambient noise (my personal nerdy fave is Slytherin dormitory ambience on Youtube lol). It’s enough to stimulate my brain, but not overpowering to where I get distracted or stressed.

Block out time to do work. @tidal-rose​ says “I find it easy to do stuff by saying ‘I’ll do it tomorrow.’ But I don’t mean the procrastinate-y ‘I’ll do it tomorrow,’ I mean plan to do it tomorrow. Set aside a block of time when you are going to do nothing but the task. …I just realized this sounds like such a neurotypical answer oh gosh. It really does work to hack my executive disfunction”

Have a plan. If I don’t have a straightforward + actionable plan for right when I wake up, I will just do literally nothing all day. I have to know what I’m going to be doing when I wake up, like “shower, be at the library by 10am, and do practise problems there”. If I only have a vague plan like “study chemistry tomorrow” it’s a lot harder for me to do anything.

Start small. It often feels impossible to do even the bare minimum. When I can’t even get myself to write a single sentence of my paper, I try to do even less than that. Literally just open up a Word document. Even just opening up a blank page is a fantastic start, and starting is the hardest part.

Change locations. The longer I sit in one space putting off an assignment and stewing there in my anxiety about it, the harder it is to start. So I move. Even if I just go from my desk to the floor. Sometimes this can change my headspace enough to make it easier to do what I need to.
