“You have pierced my soul. I am half agony, half hope... I have loved none but you.”

Continued writing my literature review today. It all took much longer than I anticipated, which made me very unmotivated... However, I am back on track and ready to... just do a little bit more...

First week of February! I tried to keep this spread clean, but then I got my Mildliners and I couldn’t resist doodling... It has been a crazy week, so excuse my non-activeness!

<3 New to studyblr!

I’ve been on booklr for a while now ( @inkandsparkles) and I felt the need to express my academic endeavours too! I’m in middle school and I love feeling intelligent. Some of my favourite studyblrs are @studyfulltime @allyouhadtodowasstudy @studeying @studyhan @studytildawn

You could reblog this post if your blog is study related, and I’ll check it out! xx Nyx

Last week’s bullet journal spread, which had a bee theme. Still enjoying this set-up!

I need to finish my literature review pretty soon, and I have barely begun! So I stocked up on chocolate to motivate myself to read at least one more article. Fun fact: I bought the chocolates for my boyfriend, but now that I have opened the package we’ll see how many there will be left for him...

[allyouhadtodowasstudy-blog]

Hi! I'm going to try my hand at using a bullet journal, and I was wondering if you have any suggestions about what kind of notebook I should use? I'm thinking about a graph ruled, medium sized moleskin, but I'm open to just about anything!

Hi! That’s a great idea, excited to see what yours will look like :) It’s funny because at the moment I use a HEMA lined notebook, and I have decided that once this one is full I’ll get a graph ruled, medium sized Moleskine! So yes, I think that’s a great choice, since it gives you more freedom than lined paper and moleskines are so so nice. Ofcourse I don’t know your budget, but it might be nice to use an older/cheaper notebook for the first weeks of journalling to see if you like it, instead of spending your money on quite an expensive notebook. 

Hope this helps! x

New courses, new note taking technique! Last courses I took my notes on the computer, but I felt I didn’t really grasp the material. So now I’m returning to good old pen and paper! Each class I bring my literature notes and extra paper for notes during class and keep it all together. I feel organized already! x

Bullet journal spread of last week. I´m really digging this lay out, although I did not create it myself and I cannot remember where I saw it…

Sometimes I write out cute messages from my friends or boyfriend and stick ´em in my bujo, makes me happy to look at (:

Here’s to a new and productive week guys! x

23.1.16

A free Saturday that consisted of:

making my house somewhat presentable

thrifting and shopping

cooking dinner with my brother

organizing my life, since my next “block” (it’s a Dutch system) starts on monday

All in all a good day, although not so study-y... Still I thought it was time for an update, because I haven’t been active for a while. It’s been a busy couple of days at uni guys, but all hard work paid off (:

If you want to stay updated on my non-studyblr activities/life/randomness you can follow me on my instagram, if you like!

Have a great weekend lovelies! x

what are the self-discipline techniques do you do in order to have your mind center on the important things FIRST and not think about anything else? and also for procrastination? btw i love your blog! Have a nice day!

Hi there! I’m sorry this took me while to relpy to. OK, so what works for me is 

Lists: I may look organized from the outside but my head’s a mess (that’s why I make my lists). If I don’t write out WHAT I need to do, I could spend hours doing unimportant stuff. I guess what I mean is prioritize. Now you can also divide light and heavy tasks, if you’re not feeling it, just do a lighter task and save the heavy ones for inspired days.

So now you now what to do, how do you actually get yourself to do it. 

Pomodoro: I downloaded a chrome extension that times 25 minutes. Say to yourself that you can open tumblr/youtube/your phone again after the timer has ended. Chances are big that when the timer ends you are in the flow and want to finish your task> yay, you did something!

Meet a friend to study: not a chatty one. Find someone who also needs to get something done and work together. I did this yesterday and I got so much done, because you kinda don’t want to be less productive than your friend? Also, if someone is typing constantly you don’t want to be the one who got nothing done.

Try something new: you can find so many techniques on writing essays, taking notes, learning languages etc. in the studyblr community, why not try something else once? This makes your task less repetitive, and who knows, you might save some time or learn something new!

These are just some things that work for me, I hope it gives you ideas! Good luck with your studies! x

What a time to be behind a computer already! I lit some candles to make my room look even cosier this morning. Finished my report, had a study date with a friend and cleaned my pantry! Now it’s time for tumblr and chill ft. tea.

Copper and cacti is the theme of today. 

I had my driving lesson this morning, a meeting this afternoon and tonight I am writing reports! Thank goodness for pretty skies to entertain me :)

I started Persuasion yesterday, the third book of January!

Got an early start today, because there is plenty to do. Mainly handing in stuff, so that’s nice. I thought it would be nice to show my bullet journal spreads of last week and the week before. I really did not like the spread on the top, but the other spread is one of my favorites.

CHARITY CAMPAIGN

Hey guys!

So at school we are trying to raise money towards a charity called combat stress which helps soldiers who have been in war to readjust to everyday life whilst helping them overcome issues such as anxiety and PTSD.

I have decided to try to run 100 miles in 10 weeks and was hoping that some of you could sponsor me by donating to my gofundme page or spreading the word. My goal is to raise £1000 in the 10 weeks☺️

If you would like to donate you can do so here:

gofundme.com/run100

Please reblog and spread the word!
