Waking up in the morning and be productive isn’t that easy for most people, it’s just way easier and cosy to just go back in bed!

I get why you love so much staying in bed, trust me. But it’s also true that in these uncertain times where we don’t have the outside motivation of school or work, it’s very important to learn how to be productive at home.

Being productive brings you closer to achieving your goals and creating a consistent routine will help you do that quicker. Not knowing what to do all the time makes you waste so much time that could be spent actually doing things!

How to structure your morning routine effectively:

When you are creating your productive morning routine it’s important to know exactly what your goals are. Do you want to exercise and get fit? Do you want to get your homework done? Do you want to work on your blog?

You need to tailor your routine according to those goals, so don’t follow other people’s routines just because they look good and “aesthetic”, that won’t get you anywhere with your own goals.

The first few days of trying your new routine are just a trial. If something seems off, you don’t feel good or you just can’t follow it, don’t get discouraged! Try again the next day and if the problems persist, it’s time to make some changes to your plan!

Also, your routine doesn’t necessarily have to include big tasks such as cleaning the whole house or completing an entire project, it could be composed of many little tasks such as making your bed. Putting all those little tasks into a to-do list might be helpful at first so you can check-off all the completed things and see what you were and weren’t able to accomplish. It will also look longer but at the same time, less intimidating considering that those smaller tasks will take you less time! ☀

Ideas for your own morning routine:

Make your bed

Drink water

Brush your teeth

Take a shower

Exercise

Do a face/hair mask

Read

Bible or religious studies

Here is a list of some YouTube ASMR ambiences/soundscapes (they’re all hyperlinked, so click away!) Unlike traditional ASMR, these videos do not feature any people. Talented YouTubers have used software to create rendered environments with layered sounds, with many of these ambiences inspired from fantasy to others based in reality. I find music with lyrics to be distracting sometimes, but these are great background noises for focusing, studying, doing homework, and even for relaxing. Enjoy and good luck ♡

I was bored idk 

[dariah-kedi]

Okay, Long short story, a long time ago I was known as "Another Channel" But one day I just get tired of be a character more of my stories, but, Another was like me right now with out acting... So i was depresed, and I started to hear a lot of music that i had in a USB, and it had a couple of songs of AJR and my obsession come out again, so I've been inspired because of that and i just draw myself, and i reborn after 3 years of been Another... So enjoy the vid. In a couple of days I'll post a cover of AJR

hey friends!! a lot of you ask me for tips on things all the time + this is just some really good advice i’ve learnt throughout my years of being a student shared with you:

revision

study frequently so when exams/tests come by you only need to revise your shorter notes [you will thank yourself later]

i know it’s tedious but try to always do your homework [it’ll help you in the long run]

do your readings before class, this will help you understand better!!

use time wisely, for example study on the bus on the way to school [i really like doing this]

teach yourself material by giving lessons to soft toys or maybe using actual tools found in your household [i like using this method particularly for biology especially with water]

if you have to read to revise, read aloud

record yourself to be able to listen later when on the bus or something [i like doing this with poetry]

make sure to always get enough sleep, it’s not worth it losing sleep over studying! [also i find it better to wake up a little early to revise than sleep late]

incense works wonders if you’re trying to calm yourself down whilst studying

keep a hot beverage around when you’re studying + reward yourself by drinking a little bit of it when you want to

get rid of distractions while you’re studying, put your phone on flight mode or leave it to charge somewhere

if music doesn’t hinder your attention span, then listen to it whilst studying/doing homework [i suggest classical music/coffee shop noises/rain sounds] ~ [my spotify playlist // classical favourites // get ur studying on // flourishment]

watch videos on a particular topic before you cover it in class

if your syllabuses are available online, download them + print them out

have an organised desk, it helps you feel less stressed

use the pomodoro technique to study

make sure you have good lighting

work out past exam papers if they’re available to you, these are really good practice for your exam!

talk to your teachers during their office hours if you need to, that’s what they’re there for

if you’re too afraid to do the latter, send them an email when you need them!

have different files for every subject to keep you organised

don’t neglect any subject- just give them the time they need + prioritise

use a planner/bullet journal to help you plan your week

school stuff

smile at people, you have no idea how much it could brighten their day [plus your smile is great!!!]

always keep a water bottle handy

make your school lunch in the evening so you can sleep a bit more in the morning + not spend your money on school lunches

always take your headphones + charger to school [if they’re allowed]

keep some emergency money or something in your pencil case, you never know when you might need them!

if you menstruate make sure to keep a bag with stuff for when you’re menstruating [if not for you, maybe your friends may need something too]

take naps on the bus if the journey is long [make sure you don’t sleep + end up on the other side of the city/country]

if you have free lessons, utilise them! do your work at school if it can be done there so you are able to study/relax at home!

always take a book with you to school just in case you ever get bored

go to a guidance counselour if you need one [they can help with practically anything you may need!] 

go to private tutoring lessons if you need them/can afford them

personal life

take pictures, lots of them!!! not just for instagram or something, they’re actually a really great memory

don’t forget to visit your relatives every now and then

watch the news/read articles to help you stay in touch with the real world

don’t worry so much about social media honestly from experience, it’s trivial anyway. indulge yourself in the real world + spend time with family and friends!!

don’t compare yourself to others, you’re not them + they are not you!

try to get some exercise done, even if it’s just using the stairs instead of a lift or dancing around in your room

always keep yourself hydrated

remember to take a day off once a week, it’ll help you avoid burnout

eat fruits/nuts as a snack!!

shading colour tips

hey yall its me the Art Mom™ to help you shade pretty

rule 1: DO NOT SHADE WITH BLACK. EVER. IT NEVER LOOKS GOOD. 

red- shade with a slightly darker shade of purple

orange- slightly darker and more saturated shade of red

yellow- i think like..a peach could work but make it a really light peach

green- shade with darker and less saturated shade of blue or teal

blue- shade with purple

purple- a shade thats darker than the purple you’re using and maybe a little pink (MAYBE blue)

pink- darker shade of red

white- a really light lavender or blue..or i guess any really light colour??

black- okay listen dont use pure black to colour anything unless you want to leave it with flat colours because you cant really shade black lol

grey- a slightly darker shade of purple or blue (less saturated)

brown- slightly darker and less saturated shade of purple or red

aaaaand thats all i got lol. let me know if there is anything i should add to this list!!
