every minute spent on planning saves you ten minutes spent on execution. short essays probably don't require that much preparation beforehand, but if you're writing something longer you should probably spend some time planning first. this is the process i go through when planning my essays, and i find it works really well!

transcript below:

essay preparation: a guide by apricitystudies

(section one) the planning stage: getting ready to write

1. understand the requirements: all the things you need to know before you start doing anything else. what’s the word count? how many and what types of sources do you need to use? what’s the required referencing style? what criteria will you be graded on?

2. dissect the question by examining three types of terms. key words, or terms that dictate the topic and focus of your essay. instructional words like ‘how’, ‘why’, ‘discuss’, ‘compare and contrast’, and ‘explain’, which tell you how you should answer the question. scope words, which determine the scope of your essay through location, time period, or people.

(next are two examples which i annotated by hand, so i’ll try my best to express them in text form! sorry if the meaning is unclear.)

example 1: breaking down an easy question. what effect does economic hardship have on the rise of totalitarianism? discuss this relationship using examples from the 20th and 21st centuries. here, ‘what’ is an instructional word and ‘effect’ is a key term -- the question is asking you to identify the types of effects. ‘economic hardship’ and ‘the rise of totalitarianism’ are key terms, and this is the relationship the question is focusing on. ‘discuss’ and ‘using examples’ are instructional words telling you how to got about identifying the effects in this relationship. the ‘20th and 21st centuries’ are scope words.

example 2: breaking down a vague question. was the cold war a real or imagined conflict? ‘was’ is an instructional word telling you that this is a yes-or-no question. ‘cold war’ is a key term and the focus of the question. (end of examples)

3. creating an essay plan, which comprises three parts. a working thesis, or how you will answer the question, the main points of your essay, or how you will prove your thesis is true, and the order of those points, or how you will organise your answer.

an example essay plan based on the earlier question: was the cold war a real or imagined conflict? working thesis: the cold war was a real conflict because it had real, unquestionable, and lasting impacts. main points in order: the impact off the arms race on modern nuclear arsenals, the impact of the korean and vietnam wars, and the impact of the ideological division of europe. this is a highly oversimplified plan! (end of example and planning section)

(section 2) the research stage: gathering information

1. determine what you need to know using these three questions to help narrow the scope of your research. what types of sources do you need? (e.g. journal articles, primary sources, books, etc.) what information are you looking for? what evidence do you need to back up your main points?

2. make a research log: a single document that contains all the information you need to write your essay. below is a screenshot of a table. the top row is a colour-coding system to split evidence by body paragraph. below, the left column is for in-text citations or footnotes for each source. the next column is for the page numbers of each quote. the final and largest column is for the quotes or evidence themselves.

final note: make sure to create your bibliography as you go!

final slide: thanks for reading! i hope this was helpful. from, apricitystudies

Okay before anything else, I would like to clarify that these tips help me. These are techniques that work for me. If they don't work for you or they're not your style, then don't fret! (That doesn't in any way imply that you can't get your life together.) If you find that these tips aren't for you, don't force yourself to follow them! These are just gentle suggestions that you may or may not try out! I hope you guys enjoy!

What's this post about?

Sometimes we just reach that point in our daily living where we're so overwhelmed by almost everything that we don't really know where to start or what to do. In this post, I just wanna give some suggestions that might help you sort out the things you need to do! There’ll also be some handy links at the end of the post!

1. Tie your hair and put on a new shirt.

You will feel much much much better after fixing up your hair and putting on something fresh. No, it won't clear the skies or feed all of Africa, but it will set an "I can accomplish a lot" mood. You'll be at your most productive state if you just feel good in general. And if not good, at least fresh. Wash your face, comb your hair, brush your teeth, drink water, etc. TAKE A SHOWER. Wash away the stress and scrub the burdens off your shoulder. You'll feel really motivated to get down to work, believe me.

2. Clean your room.

Now that your freshening up has (hopefully) motivated you to get some stuff done, straighten up your room or study/work space. Your environment has a direct effect on your productivity according to several studies and articles like this one. If you work in an organized and clean area, your productivity levels will surely go up! Really take the time to go through your old belongings. Put everything in its proper place. Get rid of old clothes that you don't wear anymore (honey, if you haven't worn it in 6 months, you're never gonna wear it). Make sure also that you maintain it (easier said than done, I know). Cleaning your room will also help you gradually get into a working mood, so it'll be easier for you to start working on other tasks.

TIP: Play some fun and peppy music while you're cleaning your room for an extra mood boost.

3. Write out everything in your mind.

Sit down and get comfy. Pull out any piece of paper, can be anything from an old receipt to your favorite stationery pad. Now write. Write down…

everything you have to do urgently, in the near future, in the far future. > e.g. finish an assignment, set up an appointment with the dentist, get into college/find a job

anything that's bothering you or lingering in your mind > e.g. how your crush just followed you back on twitter, how scary it is to send an email to adults

things that you absolutely cannot forget > e.g. return that library book, friend's bday is coming up soon (gotta get a gift!), there's an important test coming up

thoughts, feelings, opinions, irrelevant things > e.g. school's tiring you out, politics are driving you nuts, the stray cat on your road seems kinda hungry today

JUST WRITE THEM ALL. In my opinion, it's better to have your thoughts all laid out visible on paper rather than having them swimming in and out of your mind. Once they're on paper, you can let your mind rest a bit from holding in so much information. Don't write your thoughts in any particular order. Just write your ideas as they pop into your head. It may seem unsystematic for some of you, but just wait until the next point!

4. Organize your mind.

Now get a clean sheet of paper and organize your thoughts—tasks, dates, ideas/opinions, misc.

Tasks: Hopefully you've heard of the Eisenhower Box. If not, do not fear, for I will explain it!

So make this nifty table on your new sheet of paper, and organize your tasks accordingly! But first, expand. If you have quite abstract tasks like "get into college" break these tasks into smaller tasks like "review for entrance exams" or "fill out application," and then classify those tasks into the table.

after categorizing your tasks, make a to-do list! (There are many ways to make a to-do list. What I usually do is start with the easy/fun tasks first then list the more challenging/time-consuming ones last. However, this is up to you! Explore what works for you.)

Dates: Have you considered investing on those really big wall calendars? You should!! Get a big wall calendar and hang it up in your room so you can see it every morning and every night. Fill in the dates with appointments, test days, deadlines, birthdays, and anything else! Having a calendar will help you visualize how much time you have left before a certain event. If you can't get a calendar, other alternatives include a planner, your phone calendar, and/or an online calendar (like Google calendar).

Ideas/Opinions: I'd recommend using a journal (traditional or digital) to keep a record of your thoughts! It's very good to clear your mind of these if you wanna delegate more of your thinking powers on another task. You can also talk to other people! Maybe you've been really bothered by something happening in your life that you really wanna let out. Look for trustworthy companions that you can confide in. After a long hearty talk, you'll be ready to conquer the day once again!

Misc: Anything else that hasn't been covered in the previous categories can be written here. It'll be for you to decide how to proceed with these notes.

Other Resources: Check out these other links/masterposts for more tips on how to get your life together! (highly recommended links are italicized)

Hi guys, I am back with another masterpost which is the third masterpost in my back to school series, this is for all who are in 6,7,8th grade or this can be even applied on 9th grade students. So let's get started - 1) know and obey school rules - this is crucial to know that how your school works, solidify discipline which will be very helpful and your teacher will not scold you for disobedience. 2) avoid unnecessary drama - this will help you not to get in trouble, help you focus on your work. 3) get organized - this is the time when you are going through academic changes, so doing this will save your academic life and this will keep your mental health good. 4) do all your readings - this will help you understand the material better and you can refer to your readings when ever needed. 5) take everything you need - take snacks, water, books, notebooks etc. 6) try to make good friends - as these are the people who will make your life a bit simpler, will be there for you so choose them carefully. 7) solidify good habits - try to accomplish good habits, as they will help you through your life . 8) do not stress - enjoy your life, find new hobbies, try new things, have fun etc. Bye guys, hope it helped

back at it again with another notion post! this one’s about what I use every day in my personal workspace. hopefully this gives you all a bit of inspiration!

my other notion posts: goal setting and tracking | notion for time management and prioritization

hope you enjoy :) 💖💛🌻 full post below:

Hello everyone! As you all know, I'm obsessed with Notion, and I'm also obsessed with talking about it. Personally, I can never get enough of looking for inspiration and new and improved ways to organize my life, so I thought I'd do the same and go through a quick summary of what I keep track of in Notion.

The home section is where I keep everything. If I have a LOT of tasks that can all be grouped under something else, for example, summer internship, I'd put it in a separate page. But for now, home is where I keep just about everything, which I'll go into.

Under home, I have a to do, calendar, my 2020 plan, my monthly goals, everything I need to run this blog, my large-scale writing projects, notes, art I love, takeaways, and an archive.

To do: This is where I presently keep track of everything I have to do, as well as all the things I want to do sometime in the future that are concrete tasks, like taking online courses I'm interested in. I've broken down this page in great detail on a separate post, which I'll link in the description.

Calendar: This is where I keep track of major deadlines, events, and important things to remember! It's pretty self explanatory. Whatever you like to include on a calendar can go on it! I don't schedule my time here, though. I like to do that in my To do page.

2020: This is a HUGE page where I break down my yearly goals & systems to achieve them, along with a habit tracker, and a log of specific skills and habits I want to keep up semi-regularly. I also have my year in review in this section, which I just gradually add to whenever I feel there's something notable to add.

Monthly: This is where I take some of the goals in my 2020 page and really flesh them out, make them specific and trackable, and pick some focus concepts to keep in mind for the month. Focus concepts are abstract goals like, 'be kinder to yourself!' which are a little hard to solidify but that I feel are still valuable to have written out as a reminder. I try to break them down in the drop down for each goal or system.

Noodledesk: Self-explanatory! Everything I use to keep myself on top of things for this account, my Instagram, and my YouTube.

Projects: This is where I store everything for my large scale writing projects! I do prefer to write in Microsoft Word, though, so I just transfer everything to Notion afterward to keep it all in one place.

Notes: This is where I keep things like articles to read later, my stretching routine, things to keep in mind, and things I access rather regularly. For quick notes that I plan on deleting later, I still prefer to use Google Keep.

Art I Love: Sometimes I'll come across an artist or several pieces of art that I adore and want to keep coming back to, in which case I'll bookmark them on this page.

Takeaways: This is where I keep summary notes of videos, books, and lectures with important lessons that I want to remember and review. These will typically be nonfiction.

Archive: This is a trash bin of sorts, where I just put everything I no longer use but may want to access in the future. This could be old monthly goal pages, random notes I no longer use, one-off lecture notes, and anything else!

And that's it! It's pretty simple. Remember that utility is KING when it comes to organizing your life, especially when it comes to setting up something for the first time. If it's not essential and you don't use it regularly, it'll save you some headspace to just not have it at all. The point of Notion is to organize yourself and to make things easier for you, which is my rule of thumb for using Notion. Maybe writing down every single habit you do will take longer than just adding a checkbox! See how you can save yourself time, and using trackers will become that much easier.

When summer time comes around I get really excited and I always feel so pumped for all the things I can finally do. But most summers, I spend more time on my phone than with myself ya feel.

Go to Sleep | Take this time to go to bed earlier so you can wake up earlier too! I promise you that sleeping instead of stalking ur best friends cousins ex on instagram at 2AM will be worth it when you wake up!

Do Yoga | I personally hate working out. It gets so intense to the point that I don’t feel motivated to work out. Yoga is a great alternative - you get to relax while sweating ur balls out! Youtube is a great platorm to find all sorts of yoga tutorials. I love Yoga with Adrienne’s channel. If you’re a newbie like me, 30 days of yoga or Revolution is a good place to start!

Binge-watch | This is your time to just binge watch on all the shows that you’ve been dying to see! Ur probably doing it rn.

Play a new instrument | Playing an instrument really improves how your brain functions. It works out all the parts of ur good ol’ brain - not only will it make u feel things but it’s going to sound good too!

Bake | Baking may sound intimidating but trust me, it ain’t. There are a billion recipes out there that u can make with ingredients you already have at home.

Read your books | Read that book u said u would read but didn’t because school. Some books I’ve been reading are: Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy, The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood, The Valley of Amazement by Amy Tan, Our Dark Duet by Victoria Schwab, Into the Water by Paula Hawkins.

Take care of your skin | I suffer from really bad acne so I take this time to look after my face with extra care. Put on sunscreen(even if you’re spending the day at home). Put on that face mask and play some nice soothing music while ur at it. Take that extra 3 minutes massaging that moisturizer on your face and neck.

Spend time w ur fam | I’m only home for 2 months every year since I study in a different region and air fare is expensive. I always use this time to talk to my parents and siblings. To catch up on all the small town gossip and laugh at my dads jokes.

Relax | I personally use summer break to enjoy myself. Throughout the school year I get so stressed and I get caught up in all the crazy high-school stuff. It’s good to want to prepare for next school year, but remember it’s summer break.

Take care of yourself. Indulge yourself with an hour long shower or another slice of your favorite chocolate cake. School is stressful and sometimes you get so lost in it that you forget yourself. Self-care is of utmost importance, don’t forget that.

Are you a very gentle and sensitive human, or even a (diagnosed) highly sensitive person? This masterpost is for you! I am very lucky to have a family where the complete female lineage is highly sensitive, so I have lots of wisdom to share with you <3 If you have never heard of highly sensitive people before; it’s basically being hyper aware of your surroundings & including other people (and their vibes). For more details I suggest you search online for a little bit! Maybe I’ll make a little explanation post in the future, though! But without further ado; here are five tips for you!

1. Learn to get (and stay!!) in your own energy “zone”.

As a sensitive person you are prone to “feel” the energy of other people, and you can unconsciously take their emotions on. This is very tiring & doesn’t help you perform your best since all your unique strengths are occupied. I would suggest you look into some slow and mindful practices to do in the morning before you get to your first class. This could be at home in the morning or even on public transport or something. I personally take 20 minutes each morning to just sit on my yoga mat in a comfortable room with the window cracked open. Sometimes I do an actual yoga practice, and sometimes I just stretch or meditate on my affirmations for the day. It’s very important that you learn to be aware of your personal emotional balance of the day. If, during the day, you feel overwhelmed by other people try to go back to the feeling you cultivated that morning. With a little practice, this becomes a very strong mental fix!

2. Spend 5 minutes during every break listening to your body & mind

Guys, it’s just 5 minutes. You can do this. In the worst case scenario you can even do this while multitasking and talking to your friend. But please try to follow these steps;

See if you can sit down somewhere (this could even be the bathroom if you really want a quiet place)

Take 10 slow breaths; in through your nose and out through your mouth.

Notice any stiff muscles. Are you clenching your jaw? Is your diaphragm relaxed? Try to release any tension that you might be feeling. Start at your toes and work your way up all the way to your eyes/eyebrows.

Mentally clean your “whiteboard” where you remembered the uncomfortable/sad/stupid events of the morning/afternoon. Start fresh!

3. Give yourself regular breaks!

So, I know that the breaks you get at school are scheduled for you, but at home it’s also really important to do this. When you get home you should give yourself at least 30 minutes off. Please do something that takes your mind off of the assignments or homework that you need to get done. As a sensitive person you get a burn-out MUCH more easily. And in general, you also get tired more easily. When I was younger I had a very hard time “giving myself a break”, so I started with actually scheduling my breaks out. For me, that’s no longer necessary. But please do what works for you!!

4. Schedule 10 minutes every week to o r g a n I z e !!

Most highly sensitive people do not function in a cluttered environment. Make sure you spend 10 minutes each week getting rid of papers you no longer need, putting away stuff you won’t use in the upcoming week and filing things away. Use this time to maybe burn a nice smelling candle at your workplace, to “cleanse” the environment. Make sure you organize your workspace every week so you don’t end up getting overwhelmed in a stressful period. It’s also very good to make sure you plan out everything you need to do either the night before or in the morning.

5. Embrace your sensitive qualities

Learn to embrace your unique traits. The world would be a beautiful place if all people were at least a little sensitive. The way in which you can help people is so unique and special! You have the ability to recognize emotions early on, and you often feel very connected to others. The voice of your intuition is unbelievably strong; don’t forget to listen to it! It has so much wisdom to share.. ;)

Getting Stuff Done: How to Deal With Lack of Motivation

“How can I stay disciplined?”

“How can I get things done if I don’t feel like doing them?”

“How can I overcome my lack of motivation?”

As a college student who has had their fair share of being absolutely unmotivated to do anything, I know it can be hard to get things done if you don’t feel like doing them. Luckily, there are some things you can do to become more motivated to finish your homework, write your paper, study for your exam, or whatever tasks you have on your plate.

Part 1: Increasing motivation

Break up your tasks

Just thinking about one huge task is going to intimidate you so much that you’d rather leave it till later, when the urgency of time pushes you to complete it, than start now.

Breaking up your big tasks into smaller ones will make your tasks seem less daunting. Since you won’t be as intimidated by the amount of effort it might take to complete these tasks, you’ll be more likely to start doing them.

For studying, this can be something like ‘make flashcards for units 1-3’ or ‘practice past exam papers: 2015 + 2016’. For writing papers, this could be writing an outline, doing research for each point of your outline, writing the first 3 paragraphs, etc.

Working on small tasks at a time will also make you less prone to distractions since you only need to focus for a short length of time.

Make small goals and reward yourself

These goals could be accomplishing one of the smaller subtasks above, or achieving a certain grade on a practice test, or finishing a section of your study plan - as long as you’re working towards something.

The rewards? Maybe going out to eat, watching something, or even just time off. Hopefully these rewards will motivate you to complete your task.

I know some people are more inclined to do their work if they’re punished for not doing it, rather than rewarded for doing it, so if you wanna take the ‘punishment’ approach, you could do something like not allowing yourself to use social media until you finish a set of tasks - this is essentially the same thing, just thought about in a different manner. However, you should always be careful with these punishments/restrictions, because sometimes they can end up harming your health and productivity (e.g. ‘I can’t take a break until I finish all of my homework’).

Part 2: Not relying on motivation

Of course, you can’t always expect yourself to be motivated all the time. In fact, it’s very ineffective to rely on motivation to get things done; motivation is fleeting. Here’s an alternative: self-discipline. But how does it work?

Establish a study routine

Humans are creatures of habit. Even if you’re a P-type (like me), habits are hard to break. So making a habit of accomplishing your tasks/studying at a set time every day will help you, well, accomplish them. For example, it’s a lot easier to get your homework done every day if you do it at the same time - e.g. once you come home from school - rather than doing it ‘whenever you have time’.

Having a study routine will also make you less likely to be distracted since you know that that period of time had a purpose. If you’re trying this out for the first time, you might wanna completely get rid of distractions so that you can focus (e.g. putting your phone in your bag, on silent). However, with practice, I found that my phone or any other sources of distraction don’t really bother me anymore since I’ve had tons of practice resisting the urge to pick up my phone whenever there’s a notification, for example.

Schedule in time for breaks

This ties in well with the point about rewards: the break might be the reward for your studying. However, this doesn’t always have to be the case. You shouldn’t always think of relaxing as merely a reward for studying or accomplishing your tasks, but rather a necessity for the well-being of your mind. This sort of approach to breaks ensures that you actually let your brain rest once in a while.

After taking a break, your mind will be refreshed and revitalized, and you should have more than enough energy to continue with your other tasks.

Some of you asked - with regards to my previous post on The Mandatory Midday Break - how I can limit myself to exactly an hour, and to be honest, the answer is habit. It’s like having a habit of showering at the same time every day and not extend the length of time you spend in the bathroom (except in certain circumstances, like during a day off, I guess).

This is why it’s important to schedule your breaks and establish a study routine or habit - not only does it ensure you get enough rest, but it also prevents you from extending your break so that you don’t become unproductive and leave a ton of tasks unfinished.

It can be hard to motivate yourself to accomplish all your tasks, but there are things you can do to increase your motivation. However, you can’t expect to be motivated all the time, and you shouldn’t rely on motivation to get things done. Discipline and habit are the most important tools you can use to be efficient and productive without having to be motivated.

Hope this post has been helpful, and, as always, feel free to drop me an ask if you have an ask. Have an awesome week :)

a few people have asked for a post on how i use onenote, so here’s a quick guide! also obviously not sponsored lol

transcript below:

a uni student’s guide to microsoft onenote by apricitystudies.

1. what is onenote? a programme that helps you to create digital notebooks!

how it works: make some notebooks (i have 1 per semester) and split them into sections (i have 1 per class). each section has pages (i have 1 per lecture).

complete design freedom: easily move images, text, tables, etc. anywhere. create different kinds of pages (e.g. ruled or lined) with unlimited page space in any direction.

convenient study: highlight and annotate with your cursor/stylus and tablet, search for keywords across all notebooks, and sync your notebooks across all devices.

integrate media with ease: insert screen clippings, print lecture slides or pdfs onto your pages, and embed audio/video recordings of lectures directly into your notes.

2. the tagging system

how do tags work? customise your own tags’ names, icons, and keyboard shortcuts. click on text and select tags to flag it, which you can then search for across notebooks.

my own tagging system: i have these tags: to do, important, question, highlight, opinion, critical, reference personal source, look up, and important quote. i use the to do boxes to make weekly task lists for each class, search for important or critical tags when revising, and follow up on question and look up tags.

3. how i take lecture notes for online lectures

during lecture: if i have the lecture slides beforehand, i annotate beside them. if i don’t, i take notes and insert screen clippings of important slides as i go.

post lecture tidying up: i reorganise information and add in headings. i also add lines to break up walls of text and shift sections around to make the flow more logical.

post lecture revising: i skim through and highlight, underline, and annotate my notes. i also check all my tags for anything i need to look up or clarify.
