27.05.2019 // Trying to stay motivated when summer is around the corner is really hard. At least I have lots of pretty plants at home
I’m pretty sure it has been more than a year since I have posted original content on my studyblr, I hope you are doing well!! Update: I have finished the ib and graduated high school and am waiting to start university in a month!
studygram: acadehmic
It took me a week to finish this thanks to a severe cold and some odd-jobs for Valentine’s day but my leather spellbook cover for Caleb is finally done! Look at my pretty Player’s Handbook! :D
I made most of the paintwork during the livestream for my Kickstarter. You re-watch the video if you want (be warned: it’s an hour of me sounding sick and talking a lot about painting while my cat miauws in the back every now and then).
Wall chart to remind ADHD student of Shit That Is Due
As previously mentioned, I have several things to keep me on track: a bullet planner, a Google Calendar, and a wall chart.
In grad school, I have numerous things due every week. In my journal and calendar, I often forget things are due because I’m so focussed on “what is due in the next day”. This helps me visualise what I have due over the coming weeks. I’ve usually got weekly papers + bigger assignments. I note the bigger things with a star, or sometimes a different colour. Each subject is a different coloured sticky note too.
When you’ve completed something + have submitted it, you can remove the sticky note. You get to see the list slowly disappear, which is super motivating. Sometimes it makes me a bit AHHHHH to see so much stuff due, but if I just focus on “What is due THIS WEEK” it helps.
Sorry for the lack of ~aesthetic~ but tbh, I’m not real good at ~aesthetic~ and am more focussed on functionality and helping my crazy brain get shit done!
Hi! It really has been a long time since i made monthly calendar. And yea, Happy New Year 2019! Hope you’ll get more productive :)

A Beginner’s Guide to Starting a Studyblr
When I first discovered Tumblr, I knew I just came across a black hole. I mean, one platform with every single thing I loved, from fandoms to poetry to awful memes–I was addicted. Back then, I wouldn’t have thought that Tumblr would (sorta) save my life. Then I decided to make a Studyblr.
study + tumblr = studyblr!
The first time I witnessed the phenomenon known as the studyblr community, I was strangely intrigued. I started off making edits for tv series and music, but it came to a point where I felt like I was working instead of doing it for leisure, and it was difficult for me to find time to make posts. The first thing I thought when I came across studyblrs was “the busier I am, the more content I have to blog”. What’s more fantastic than having a blog that depends on your hectic life?
So I decided to give it a go and blog about my studies. It came pretty easily to me, considering that I spend nearly 100% of my (insanely scarce) free time online and my life comprises a lot of studying (especially since I had my IGCSEs that year). Plus, seeing other studyblrs work hard motivated me to study instead of wasting away on the internet.
I’ve had my studyblr for a little over a year now, and I’m not even exaggerating when I say that it changed my life. Here are some benefits I’ve received over the past year:
I look forward to studying. I guess this is because I’ve never taken multiple approaches to studying, and only after starting a studyblr did I learn of different ways to study. I also get new ideas for making notes! (which is extremely helpful since I am a visual learner)
I’ve received tips that not only help me excel academically but also help me care for myself. Once you’ve spent enough time in the community, you’ll realize that there’ll always be someone who’s got your back. You could ask them anything and they’d be more than willing to answer.
I’m not as hard on myself as I used to be, which has actually improved my grades and my mental health. I no longer toxify myself by overworking or anything like that, and I feel like I’ve somehow become happier.
The studyblr community is like my second family (if not third, if I count my friends in real life). I’ve had tons of great conversations with like-minded individuals. Most of them were about studying, but eventually they branched off into other aspects of our lives, including common interests.
How to Start
Creating a URL
Most studyblrs have the word ‘study’ as a prefix or suffix. However, feel free to experiment with URLs that show other people who you are; nobody will judge you. For example, mine is @eintsein because Einstein is an immensely inspirational person and I find physics pretty interesting. You could like pandas and psychology and choose an URL like @pandapsych or something (this one’s taken, though).
Here are some ideas for things to include:
Your name
Favorite subject
Role models (common ones include Hermione Granger, Elle Woods, and Christina Yang, but this can be anyone you admire)
Stationery (pens, highlighter, etc.)
Brand names (muji, stabilo, etc.)
Study utilities (book, textbook, flash cards, notes, etc.)
Choosing a Theme
I think that simple, clean themes work best for studyblrs, especially content-heavy ones with a lot of text posts. However, the choice is all yours. Here are some theme makers I like:
KCONET
Acuite
Sorrism
Ladmilk
Skyrim Themes
Olle Ota Themes
Finding Blogs to Follow
It shouldn’t be very hard, but one thing I like to do is look through a single studyblr’s blog and see whose posts she/he reblogs. If not, you could always take a look at their blogroll (here’s mine).
Interacting with Other Studyblrs
One thing a lot of people tend to forget about social media is the ‘social’ part. Interact with other studyblrs! I guarantee that none of them will think you’re weird (or at least bad-weird, because good-weird people are the best). To be honest, most of us (myself included) get really hyped when anyone messages us or mentions us in a post.
And don’t forget to be yourself! Don’t try to act like a studyblr stereotype. It might also help to make an introduction post and join networks.
Hashtags
You could tag other studyblrs if you want them to see your posts (e.g. mine’s simply #eintsein). Most of us also use the following hashtags:
#studyblr
#studyspo
#[subject you’re studying]
#[stationery]
Products
There are some study materials/utilities that most studyblrs have. However, don’t feel that you need all the fancy stationery or gadgets to be a legitimate studyblr. Besides, there are cheaper alternatives.
Stationery
Here are some common ones:
Staedtler Triplus Fineliners
Stabilo Point 88 Fineliners
Muji Gel Ink Pens
Zebra Mildliners
Muji binders/notebooks

Tips for Posts
What should I post?
The simplest thing to post would be pictures of what you’re studying. I think this is the most common type of post due to the convenience, i.e. you don’t have to stop whatever you’re doing in order to post something.
You could also post study guides/tips, which obviously takes more time but everybody appreciates the effort! Another popular post type is a resources post, which is essentially just a compilation of helpful links. A longer post with nearly all the information you need would be considered a masterpost.
Picture Taking
One thing that helps more than people think is natural lighting. It gives your pictures clarity as well as the often sought out ‘aesthetic’ quality.
You should also try experimenting with different angles, e.g. flat lays, micro images, etc.
Editing
Most studyblrs use a photoediting app called VSCO Cam which does wonders to your photo, but you could always use the built-in editing tools on your phone. I personally like the apps Faded for photo editing and Over for overlays (text, etc.).
Graphics
Photoshop is my favorite and probably has the most freedom, but if you don’t have the skills, you could always use overlay apps like Over, or online sites like Canva.
Alright, I think I’ve covered quite a lot of things, but here are some more links to help you out:

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 :)

Hey guys, so I’m nearing the end of my senior year, and it’s been great so far! I accomplished my academic tasks efficiently and didn’t burn myself out, and I think the main contributor to my success as a student is my organization system. This system has been refined throughout my high school years, but I think now I’ve finally found the most effective methods.
Please remember that this isn’t the only organization system you can adopt; this is just the one that works the best for me, and I hope that by sharing it with you, you’ll gain a new perspective on how to stay organized as a high school student.
The first thing I wanna talk about is my notebook system, which I briefly mentioned in my Guide to Note-Taking.
My notebook system comprises three types of notebooks: the Everything Notebook, the subject notebook, and the revision notebook.
The Everything Notebook
The first stage is in-class notes. I only bring one notebook to school every day. I call it my Everything Notebook, and this is where I write down all of the notes I take in class. This way, I don’t have to lug around six notebooks where I’m only going to use a few pages in each of them that day.
Subject Notebooks
At the end of the day, I would revise my notes and compare them to the syllabus so I know where we are in the learning process. I would then transfer my class notes from my Everything Notebook to my different subject notebooks. This is stage two. I also start to jazz up my notes because I use the notes in my subject notebooks to study for tests.
In addition to my class notes, I include material from my teachers’ notes that they might not have elaborated on, as well as points in the syllabus (I’m currently taking A2) that were only glazed over briefly, or not at all, in some cases. (Note: this does not mean they completely skip a chapter or topic; it’s more like they missed a few bullet points that should be in my notes but aren’t. An example would be if we’re learning about phenol reactions and the teacher forgot to mention the use of FeCl3 as a test for phenol.)
Revision Notebooks
Stage three comes a little later, when exam week is just around the corner. Essentially, I rewrite and improve my notes from my five different subject notebooks into a single revision notebook or binder. (Recently, I’ve opted for a revision notebook because they’re lighter and easier to carry around.)
Because my teachers don’t always teach in the order of the syllabus, the first thing I do is organize my notes according to the syllabus. I would then fill in any other missing gaps in the material that hadn’t been filled in stage two.
When compiling material for my revision notebook, I use as many sources as possible: my own notes, my teachers’ notes, youtube videos, online sites, and my favorite, the mark scheme! I add in some answers from past papers (explanations only, so no calculations) mainly to secure marks. It’s safer to memorize definitions straight from the mark scheme than from the textbook or from handouts. I also do this to ease my memorization, especially for topics that require lengthy explanations. It’s a lot easier to remember the 6 points I need to explain the principles of NMRI than to remember everything in the four-page handout my teacher gave me.
Folders and binders are essential to organizing your papers. Some people keep a single accordion folder for all their papers, but for me it’s just too heavy to carry around all the time. The same goes for subject folders that are brought to school every day.
Instead, my binder/folder system comprises my Everything Folder and my subject binders.
The Everything Folder
The folder I carry with me to school every day is this A4 folder I got from Tokyu Hands. It has 5 pockets, one for each day of the week, so all the papers I receive on Monday will go behind the first divider, and so on.
Some people also keep blank papers in their folders; I don’t because my school has its own lined paper and graphing pads that I keep under my desk that I use if a teacher asks us to do an assignment on those papers. If I do work at home, I prefer to just use a plain A4 paper or a legal pad.
Subject Binders
At the end of the week, I’ll sort my papers into my subject binders. Sometimes I’ll keep some papers in the folder if I think I’ll be needing it the next week. This usually only applies to worksheets because all my teachers’ notes are available on Google Classroom, so I can access them even if I don’t physically have them.
Each of these binders have sections inside them:
Physics: 1 for handouts, notes, and tests, 1 for Paper 4 (Theory), 1 for Paper 5 (Practical Planning). I included extra tabs to mark the different topics in the handouts section.
Chemistry: same as Physics.
Economics: 1 for Paper 3 (MCQ), 1 for Paper 4 (Case Study and Essay). A lot of my Economics material is online, though.
English: 1 for Paper 3 (Text and Discourse analysis), and 2 for Paper 4 (Language Topics, which includes 1 for Child Language Acquisition, 1 for World Englishes). Past papers, handouts, and notes all go under their respective topics.
Mathematics: I just keep everything together because I never revise math and just constantly do past papers.
This makes it easier for me to revise each subject because I can just take one binder with me instead of a messy folder with everything just shoved in there.
I keep a magazine file for each of my A-Level subjects (English and Mathematics are combined). All my textbooks, revision guides, and subject notebooks are kept here, so if I need to revise one subject, that’s the magazine file I’ll take out.
These magazine files prevent any small things (like my book of flashcards) from being shoved to the back of my bookshelf, or materials from different subjects from getting mixed up.
In my senior year, I mostly plan using this app called Edo Agenda. It syncs across all my devices for free and has all the features I need: a to do list to organize tasks, monthly and weekly calendars to organize events, a journal to organize notes and memos.
I used to bullet journal regularly, but it takes too much time during weekdays, so now I just bullet journal for the therapeutic effects it gives me, and I use an app for organizing tasks and events. Sometimes at the end of each week, I’ll transfer my tasks to my bullet journal and then decorate the page, but again, this is just for its therapy.
Organizing your school supplies is just as important as organizing your papers and notes. With a more organized backpack and pencil case, you won’t waste time looking for your things at the bottom of an abyss.
Pencil Case
I don’t find it necessary to bring so much stationery to school unless I plan on making notes at school (usually during revision week).
Backpack
Because we’re already in the revision term, I don’t really carry a lot of things in my everyday backpack, just the following:
Pencil case
Everything Notebook
Everything Folder
Revision notebook
Kindle
Phone
Wallet
Earphones
Calculator
Speaker
Drinking bottle
A pouch with things like a hairbrush, pads, and lip balm
And that’s all for now! I hope this post will help you organize your school life (if you haven’t already) or at least provide some useful insights on some ways to stay organized as a high school student.
06.05.18 [10/40 days of productivity] Finally came back at my lovely little house 🐥 I feel really bad and tired but I have to focus new week, I have some quizzes and second midterms, I don’t understand some professors because it’s almost end of the semester and final exams are coming, please let us to take breathe.. anyway, I prepared new plans for this week, I hope I can be more productive in these seven days. if you try again and again, you can see the results, so I will try to make something better 🚀 and this song is my new favorite one, I hope you’ll enjoy!
y’know what I’m done with 100 days of productivity for the year, just going to post pictures with no context
The end of the semester is sooo close!
