Answered this question in my dm

Q) How am I productive

A) It's the basic stuff that's important, especially for a competitive exam:

>making a to do list in the morning

>having a fixed schedule

>taking breaks ( very important to take real breaks and not feel guilty about it , go for a walk , let your brain breath )

> consistency is key . When you are trying to be consistent, day 1 , 2 , 3 you'll be productive then day 4 you might not , so it's very important what you do during that time , it's very important to get back on track on day 5 . Day 6 and 7 will again be fine day 8 gets hard . Again , it's important to pull through , forgive yourself for being human and move on and keep working hard towards your goal !

All the best !!!

Beat The Heat Productivity Challenge Update / May Update

May has been generous .

I was super consistent with studies and health.

I'm so so proud of myself .

I took breaks when I needed . Slept more without feeling guilty whenever I needed .

I've started morning study sessions and they've made so much difference .

I'm so grateful for my best friend. She's the most amazing person ever . ( ik it's completely unrelated but imma still say it cause she's the best )

What we didn't do well-

Mental health was a bit shaky , I'm gonna start Journaling, rn I write about my day not my feelings.

I'm gonna Write about my feelings , dreams , goals and manifest like a delulu .

I'm gonna have the audacity to ask the universe for the big , glamorous things cause I deserve everything.

I'm gonna focus on my happiness and eliminate people pleaser Aarya.

More self love , more solo dates 🥂

"is it better to read non fiction or novels?" No. It is better to read than not to read full stop. That is the only argument. Let's not create yet another fake scale of who is a better reader. I am so fucking tired of this kind of discourse. If you only read graphic novels you are still reading and that is better than not reading. If you only read middle grade books despite being in your 30s you are still reading and that is better than no reading. If you read one single book a year it is still good because you are reading. And that makes you a reader.

I notice a lot of people have very low standards for themselves and others. Of course, you’ll say standards are subjective… but are they?

Because when it comes to the things that actually shape your life. How you’re treated, how you show up, what you tolerate. There’s a clear difference between preference and self respect

A good trick here that everyone should incorporate is this: whatever your ceiling is, it’s now your floor. That should be your standard for yourself and for others. Romantic relationships included, especially since that’s where we tend to make the most excuses

If someone once showed you what consistency looks like, inconsistency is no longer acceptable. If you’ve experienced effort, you don’t downgrade to bare minimum. If you’ve seen what it feels like to be chosen, you don’t entertain confusion

Your past “best” isn’t something to reminisce on but something to uphold. The problem is, people experience something good once, then spend the rest of their lives tolerating less while calling it “being understanding” “being patient” or “not expecting too much”. But standards aren’t about demanding perfection from others. They’re about no longer negotiating on what you already know is possible

You don’t need to chase higher standards because you’ve already seen them. You just need to stop lowering them because this says I know there’s better but I’m going to settle for less. And this goes back to the things (excuses) we tell ourselves about compassion and understanding. Because the real issue comes back to what we think we deserve and not the other person
