The highlight of my week was taking a break from the city to visit Winterbourne House & Garden. I enjoyed a scone, picked up this book, marvelled at some pretty flowers and worked on my stats assignment 🌷🌼💖🌻🌸✨

how to stay motivated long-term
trust, me i know that long-term motivation and consistency is hard. long-term motivation might be difficult to maintain, but there are effective techniques to help you stay focused and determined. whether you're seeking personal ambitions, academic achievements, or professional success, here are some strategies to help encourage motivation:
understand the reason behind your goal
☆ does your goal contribute to personal growth or meaningful relationships?
☆ how does your goal impact others?
☆ is your goal meaningful to you?
if your goal lacks meaning, it may be hard to maintain motivation.
positive and negative motivation
motivation can come from different places
☆ positive motivation: the desire to experience pleasure
☆ negative motivation: the desire to avoid something (an outcome)
both types of motivation have their place, so learn to recognise what type fits in where. (post on this coming soon)
set up systems
use your initial motivation to set up structures:
☆ create routines, systems and habits that help you towards your goal even when your motivation fluctuates
☆ when your emotions wane, rely on these systems and disciplines to maintain momentum
break down goals
☆ tackle one goal at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed
☆ set achievable milestones and celebrate each step forward
☆ keep the momentum going by focusing on manageable tasks
validate good work
☆ give yourself a little reward, or thank yourself, for completing hard tasks
☆ this reinforces motivation and encourages effort
remember--motivation isn't in a constant state, it ebbs and flows. these small tips will help to stay motivated. i'm going to provide more information in upcoming posts, and i will link them here once they are published.
luck on your journey ❤️

Day 9/100 of Productivity
I keep swinging between feeling very on top of everything and feeling wildly unprepared. I'm sure the coffee jitters don't help.

Still feeling drained and tired. At least we have snow and it's incredibly beautiful...

who needs a pomodoro timer when you’ve got a cat that sits on your work and demands you take a break every ~40 mins instead?

Day 4 of 100 Days of Productivity
I hate revising/revisiting a topic. I don't know about anyone else, but I constantly want to be learning something new. Going back to a topic feels so tedious. I'll try to get better at this skill.

(8/30) What have I learned recently ? -> Learning French is not linear at allll. The first lesson I had with my tutor we were chatting so fluidly but today I really struggled to generate thoughts in French 🥲 It’s okay though, I’m still a lil sick now so the next lesson will go better 📖✨

it's time for one more big effort! I'm determined to get this all done now.
(and I'm in love with my vintage desk I bought second hand only last week; plus my gran's blanket is keeping me cosy. So I'm beginning to feel I'll be alright!)
