Day 1/100
I started this studyblr when I was a Bachelor's student. Now, many years later, I got my Bachelor's and even my Master's, I'm in the second year of my PhD, and I will once again try to do 100 days of productivity!!!
Today I'm structuring the notes from the meeting with my PI. We made a bunch of decisions about the design of my new experiment, and I need to be able to retain them two years from now :D

in 2022 may you find many seeds, nuts, berries, etc
I didn’t even look at the name I was just like damn I hope so too thanks
sunday afternoon at home
found the loveliest cafe in downtown ithaca where i spent the morning working on my aesthetics essay for two hours. their mocha’s also pretty great ☕️
I can’t go to cafes, so I sublimate by reposting cafe pics on Tumblr.
Hi, i'm on a phd too. Can i ask how many hours at day did you invert in your writing or in other things related to your phd? I usually try to work from 9am to 9pm, i only break for lunch for 1 or 2 hours, but my productivity is so fucking low and slow, idnk what to di... I just wanna end this... 😥
Honestly, I think you're working for way too long! I generally work from 8am to 5pm with an hour break for dinner but if I'm tired or can't get anything done then I will finish earlier. Sometimes, if I'm on a roll, then I'll work later but I don't force myself to.
Remember that you need to look after yourself and have some me-time too! Treat your PhD like a job and make sure that you have some time away from it. I think your productivity will increase if you're not forcing yourself to work on it for 12 hours a day.

I’m going to start being more “real” on here since I guess a lot of posts I see make me feel like I’m not being productive enough which is why I took a break from studyblrs to begin with. I sometimes feel bad that my study sessions may look perfect on here but are far from it in reality - for example I’ve been having a lot of trouble doing simple tasks lately and although my study setup looks cute, that doesn’t mean I’m not struggling keeping up with my course work despite withdrawing from one class due to mental health reasons. also this is my cat Lucy :)
crisp november air. reading while waiting for my train in that beautiful near-end-of-year sunlight, and morning walks to the bakery for a flaky pain au chocolat
how to achieve your goals
start
Today I’ll be reading some papers, meet with our research group and go to my lecture for psychodynamic consultation. It’s going to be a very productive day! Also; isn’t @emmastudies her October wallpaper the prettiest?
Saturday morning vibes :)

some things we should start romanticising
bike rides, especially when listening to music. the wind in your hair, the songs in your ears, every sound being quiet and living in your own bubble of lyrics. (edit: in some countries this is illegal and it can be dangerous - i had not thought of that and i apologise)
sitting in a bus. you’re going back home, maybe you’re reading a book or just looking outside of the foggy glass.
making tea. warming up the water, bringing it to a simmer and closing the gas, pouring it into a ceramic mug, the perfume of tea leaves: it’s a ritual.
buying a new book. walking in a book store, reading the first page of a book that sounds interesting, choosing a book because of its cover, never having heard of that book.
reading the last page of a book. that one doctor who episode where the doctor says he rips the last page of each book he reads, reading the last line and feeling like all the air in your lungs is gone.
that one specific moment when you are coming back from a party and you’re walking the few last steps before getting home.
writing your name on a new notebook. scribbling messy letters or trying hard to make it look pretty.
tying shoe laces. where are you even going?
picking a flower. getting off the road and into a patch of grass just to pick a yellow wild flower, pressing it in a book, or putting it in a glass of water.
finally getting to bed. the cold bedsheets, closing your burning eyes, the small sounds of the city.

some things i’ve learned while studying in quarantine
drink more water instead of more coffee.
weekly goals are bullshit. set yourself 3-day goals. you’ll be less laid-back.
don’t just mindlessly stare at words. before you start studying, know your approach to it. have a plan.
summarizing the concept in your own words is the key part of taking notes. don’t just copy things down, convert them into your own way of talking, your own vocabulary, no matter how dumb and unprofessional it sounds.
don’t let the “studyblr aesthetic” fool you. studying doesn’t have to be pretty. summaries and notes can be messy as long as they’re comprehensible. you can always rewrite and reorganize them later. (honestly, you better do. and you better keep them.)
don’t throw away the papers you’ve solved your problems in. staple them to the fucking textbook. you need to see them constantly. cause you’ll need reminders of how far you’ve came, when you’re feeling discouraged.
don’t be an armchair analyst for your issues. if you have an idea then act on it.
remember: the exact point where it becomes difficult, is where your growth begins. take a deep breath, and try to focus on the paragraph in front of you.
get off your high horse and understand that if you’re a zero, you won’t go to 100 in a couple of days. first, you’ll need to reach 30, then from 30 to 60, and then from 60 to 90. nobody is 100 everyday. that happens very rarely.
you need to have fun everyday. you need to have peaceful time every single day. even on exam night. especially on exam night, actually. so make sure you’ve studied enough so you can have some time to yourself.
once you’re on a roll and in need of some challenge to stay on track, start writing down your studying hours. tell yourself you’re not allowed to do less than 80% of what you did yesterday. whatever the hell it was, even just one hour. so if yesterday you really studied for like, say 8 hours, today your goal is to study for at least 6 and a half hours. if you can’t keep up with that, make it 70%, or 60%.
be forgiving of yourself. be kind to yourself. even if you bounced back and lost your streak. start again. as slowly as you did before. take your time. it’s okay, you were there once you can get there again.
1 1 . 2 2 . 1 9
It's so much easier to be productive in the morning but all of my classes are early in the day 🌅
gentle reminder: you are very capable and I’m excited for your future
slightly less gentle reminder: you do have to work for it
