Relatives call me lazy for preferring reading over manual labour. Leading academics compliment me on my knowledge and wit.

It took me years to give the latter more significance.

Okay this is seriously awesome and very accurate.😅

Daily Review

I kind of want to try something I saw on YouTube the other day. Muchelleb (https://www.youtube.com/user/muchelleb) talked in one of her videos about a weekly review to enhance her productivity. For this project I would like to do a little daily review to share my progress and to keep me motivated.

Last Project as a university student and I´m stuck

My current goal is to write 20 pages in six days. Right now, all that is in my way is myself……#procrastination

I´ll try to keep you on track here. Also I want to try out some new techniques  and apps. So far the pomodorro technique works out until I take a longer break... ^^ #dammyouyoutube

Suggestions are welcome!

Today´s goal are 3-5 pages

Today, I seem to be unable to leave the bed... Too exhausted from oversleeping -- is that a thing? It has to be, because that's not the first time this happens. --H💜

// Do / 18.10.2018 //

On some days, I am painfully aware of what people imagine my studies look like, even though in fact I am working on highly-academic research most of the time. Yesterday, we had to depict "the perfect teacher" ... nice change if you're usually concerned with literary analyses or history of genocides.

Today, I'm about to finish a paper (yaaay!), but also got a painful reminder that I should have already been done with the next one. The answer to my problems: coffee and inspirational quotes. Go, me! --H💜

// Di / 16.10.2018 // --- My arm is all better now, at least 98% of it. My mum helped me type down some bits of my paper.💜 Worked two days at the museum, which is always nice for a change and I get to meet awesome people (I love the elderly). Today got really hectic and I'm not proud of it.

Proud though of getting started on my "groomsmaid" workload -- I'm so excited for my brother's wedding!!🙌 Already called several places today and talked to the bridesmaid.

Right now I'm waiting for the coffee to kick in, so that I can get to work without being so tired! If I take a nap now, I won't be able to sleep tonight. I'm really becoming a coffee-person.☕ Something I thought I'd never say (despite my love for 'Gilmore Girls'). --H💜

In a sense we become addicted to using procrastination as […] temporary relief from stress […] and the anxiety associated with certain tasks.

Neil A. Fiore, The Now Habit

[study-ophile]

Day 5 (Do, 11.10.18): Spent my day at home, resting and cooling my right hand. Took a 1h-walk in the nearby park and read a little in Neil A. Fiore’s book The Now Habit. Also read some mangas and watched motivational YouTube videos. Couldn’t get anything done for university because of my hand.

6 Things People Don't Always Tell You About Studying

1. you ace tests by overlearning. you should know your notes/flashcards/definitions basically by heart. if someone asks you about a topic when you’re away from class or your notes and you can answer them in a thorough and and accurate answer, then you’re good, you know the material. 

2. if you don’t understand something, it will end up on the test. so just don’t disregard and hope that this specific topic won’t be on the test. give it more attention, help, and practice. find a packet of problems on that one concept and don’t stop until you finish it and know it the best. 

3. sometimes you just need that Parental Push. you know in elementary school, they would tell you “ok now it’s time for you to do your homework! you have a project coming up, start looking for a topic now!” ONE of your teachers might be like this. be thankful for it and follow their advice! these teachers are the best at always keeping you on track with their calendar. if not a teacher, then have one of your friends be that person that can keep you accountable for the things you promised you would do. 

4. you just need to kick your own ass. seriously. i know it sucks and its hard to study for two things at once. BUT. I DONT CARE IF IT’S HARD. you need to do it and at least do it to get it over with because you can’t keep putting things off. If you do, you will eventually run out of time and you will hate yourself. force yourself to do it. i made myself sign up for june ACT even though there’s finals because if i didn’t, i probably never would. like do i think i’m gonna be ready in one month? probably not, SO I BETTER GET ON IT AND START STUDYING! 

5. do homework even if it doesn’t count. if you actually try on it, then you will actually do so much better on the tests, it’s like magic. 

6. literally just get so angry about procrastinating that you make yourself start that assignment. I know how hard it is to kick the procrastination habit. I have to procrastinate. So I make myself start by thinking about my deadlines way early. I think, “oh i have a presentation in three weeks (but it really takes 2 weeks to do), i’ll be good and start today.” when that doesn’t happen, you say you’ll do it tomorrow, and this happens for like the next four days. I get so mad at myself for not starting when i am given a new chance to do so with every passing day. By that time, you actually have exactly how much time you need for it AND you were able to procrastinate the same way you usually do ;)
