How to focus when you don’t want to (in 3 easy tips):
Write down only three tasks that you want to get done (in order of priority). Then, cover the bottom two and only focus on the first one.
Use a timer and set it for a reasonable amount of time (I try to start with 20-25 mins). During this time, don’t pick up the phone, don’t go on social media, etc.
Keep a piece of paper next to you and write down any distracting thoughts you want to look at later. Usually I’ll google a topic if I don’t understand it, but since I’m trying to not lose my focus I just make a “Google later” list. You could also use this to keep track of off topic thoughts you have.

I was really inspired by @jordans-studyblr post (this one) and I wanted to make one of my own. (although my pictures aren’t nearly as good)
5:00 - I woke up to a really intense pink and orange sky.
6:00 - Planned the day. I’m already behind on my bullet journal because I’m going crazy using Asana. Actually I’m falling in love with it. My planning usually took 4 to 5 days and I could cut it short to less than 3 hours with Asana. I really trying to simplify my processes because I tend to be the master of pointless perfectionism-that-doesn’t-actually-look-perfect.
7:00 - Time to read. I took a break from reading in those last few days of 2017, but now I’m back at it again. Still reading “Inferior” by Angela Saini
9:30 - Had breakfast. I do intermittent fasting, that means I don’t eat between 7:00 pm and 11:00 am. So I don’t always have breakfast but when I do I make sure that it’s very extra.
10:00 - I reviewed the basics of HTML. I found it was very unnecessary, but I did it for the sake of being thorough.
Made lunch.
13:00 - Started studying Italian. First time ever. ‘Twas fun. I’m going to write my language learning goals soon and I’ll explain more about it.
16:00 - Afternoon chocolate milk. Just because.
17:30 - Preparing to start studying Computer Science. I was checking on the book I’m going to use earlier and saw that they use some Calculus stuff. I wasn’t planning to study Calculus now but maybe I won’t have much of a choice. Not complaining tho.

This is a spread I did in September, I’m going to post a lot more of my bullet journal soon because I’m this behind!
I’ve decided not to carry on with my 100 days of productivity, because a lot of the content wasn’t that good, and it took up time, but I am going to try to post at least weekly with better quality photos!
Happy new year! :)
