Me, myself and I like to discover and learn. I like reading, chatting...

[heywriters]

as someone who has gone long stretches without electricity, let alone an internet connection

BACK UP YOUR WORK---YES, EVEN PHYSICAL COPIES. HAVE OFFLINE RESOURCES. KEEP YOUR LANDLINE. CARRY CASH. DON'T GET IMPORTANT APPLIANCES THAT RUN ON WIFI. LEARN TO READ A PAPER MAP

[lyricfulloflight]

Just going to add:

HAVE A RADIO (with a battery power option).

If you do not have electricity, the radio may be your only source of information!

Local radio will: give weather updates, give updates on restoring power, let you know if you need to evacuate or are on evacuation alert, and as a bonus, it can provide entertainment/music.

[heywriters]

y'all sleeping on this post/info. this isn't about "oh, but natural disasters don't happen where i live" this is about

"natural disasters are going to start happening here as the climate keeps changing"

"one shift in government regulations or corporate ownership and essential needs become artificially scarce"

"they haven't updated the infrastructure since the 1940s and it's about to blow"

"one financial downfall and i'm living out of my car"

"i can live without basic needs for a while, but my kids/pets/dependents can't"

also, some of you are living in countries with unstable govts or with conflict right next door and you need to be at least a little prepared in case the unthinkable happens. PLEASE

How to study productively this school year

Keep very neat notes

Devote at least 30 minutes to each subject

Do homework before anything else

Listen to music for focus

Green tea is good for focus

Always ask for extra credit work

Devote a fifteen minutes out of your day to read

Try not to see studying as a chore, see it as exercise, or daily ritual, like a skincare routine

Don’t be afraid to ask your teacher if you are confused about something

Aim for A’s, expect A’s, Get A’s

Remember that all your effort will pay off

What I’m listening to

What’s your favorite subject?

English

Math

Science

Social Studies/History

PE

7 Ways to Get into the Mood for Studying

Here are 7 things you must think about in order to get into the mood for studying:

1 . Organize your study area to get into the mood for studying

The first step to setting the mood for studying is to organize and clean your study area.

There is something therapeutic about making your study area clean. Go an extra mile and wipe down all the surfaces of your study area.

This allows a clean and pure environment to study.

2 . Prepare all your study material

Half way through studying when you realize you ran out of fresh paper? This can disrupt your flow.

Make sure to get all your study supplies in order.

Prepare all your notes, textbooks and e-books for the study session.

3 . Play some lo-fi music to get into the mood for studying

Lo-fi music is some of the best out there for a productive study session.

You can also play piano music or any ambient chill music. This helps to set the mood for studying.

4 . Make an intention to study

Take a few minutes to think about the reasons for studying. You want to get better grades.

You want to see that juicy 90% or a big fat A on your exam paper.

Focus on the intention of this study session. You can also journal your thoughts, and write a to-do list for studying.

This helps to set the mood for studying.

5 . Make studying the end goal

We think of studying as the work we must put in to get our results.

Start to think of studying as the end result. You studied today? That’s great. You did a good job.

Think of studying as a task independent of what grades you get.

6 . Take study breaks

Take study breaks so you don’t get burnt out from studying like a machine. It can put you off and make you never want to study again.

That is why it is important to schedule breaks. Breaks don’t have to be anything crazy. Just getting up and stretching is very effective in providing a break from constantly hunching over your books.

7 . Reward yourself for studying

When you know you have a reward for studying waiting for you, it gets you in the mood to study.

You can reward yourself with a tasty treat, or your favorite tv show.

In fact, the reward can be the feeling of achievement you feel that you successfully completed a study session.

[keyrielle]

* A good friend supports you and cheers for you.

* Procrastinators from everywhere ! 📢Be proud of yourself when you managed a task from your to-do list -> You made a step forward. Keep going !

* Ask for help when you need some !

[styrke-deactivated20240722]

a wise woman once said, “you are capable of twice as much as you think and ten times as much as your mother thinks” and honestly i think about that a lot whenever a wave of doubt rushes over me telling me that i can’t do it. sometimes you just gotta look your doubt right in the eyes, stand up straight and say, watch me!

A note on procrastination

You probably read thousands of guides that offer basic ass strategies to counter procrastination. You've probably tried a few of them. No effect, you get depressed, or you're even more procrastinating.

The effects of procrastination are absolutely undeniable: less great quality of work, more stress, stuff that ends not being done, etc. We all damn know it, we're hyper aware of this.

And you run away to escapism means by checking out Instagram, Tumblr (I know), Reddit, YouTube. You escape by playing video games "in the name of destressing", or you text a friend to talk, or anything that is NOT THE TASK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. Sorry for making you stressed.

Instead of dishing basic ass tips like "how to stop procrastinating, do the task right now and you'll feel fine", I ask you... WHY do you procrastinate?

Do you feel anxious about the potential end result?

Why do you feel anxious about the end result?

Is it because you're scared it won't be perfect?

Why are you holding others opinion of your work too highly? Why do their opinion matter in that?

Are you looking at the end result, feeling too anxious because you're scared it won't be attained, thus dispelling the negative feelings with temp feel good activities like food, movies etc?

Are you camouflaging your procrastination with useless "preparation"? Like preparing your Bujo, downloading productivity apps, preparing your space for one hour before starting a few minutes of work?

Are you procrastinating because you're afraid you're gonna be rejected by family, friends, school, work?

Are you procrastinating because you feel bored while doing your work? Are bad habits you use as procrastination more mentally stimulating?

Do you feel disgusted or repulsed by the task at hand

Start by asking yourself many questions about your procrastination. Why do you do X and do Y?

Procrastination is not a bad habit, it's a defense mechanism against the negative feelings you're experiencing.

Your brain is like a simple-thinking blob with a No1 priority to making you FEEL GOOD, everytime you feel BAD. That's why you run away to feel good activities like eating chocolate if you're stressed, that's why you hold off studying those very hard maths that are really really scary. It's fundamental role is to PROTECT you. Turns out MATHS IS NOT DANGER.

"what the fuck I do then? Pray to damn God so he solves my procrastination issue? Do I need to do a chicken sacrifice" NO. Jesus let's calm down.

Being self-aware of your fear/anxiety that's often related to procrastination is the first step. Once you know what's going on instead of denying denying everything, first step is over. You might be depressed, you might feel like the work is never perfect, thus never finishing it. The task might be too big and intimidating. Et cetera. Pause and ask yourself sincerely... What is going on that I procrastinate? I won't give you your exact answer, it's up to you. Do your damn work, ask yourself the hard question.

Reflect back to what happened in the past, what did trigger the procrastination? With what you did procrastinate? What were the procrastination past-times providing you? Then use the answer to supplement your task. If you need stimulation because your task is boring, add music. If you need external validation for your task and you don't know if you'll get it, give it to yourself and validate yourself at every single-step. Make yourself feel proud of yourself. You did great.

Then you find new solutions that work for YOU. Decompose your task into easy peasy (NOT SCARY AT ALL, IT'S SO TINY) steps that take maybe 10-15 min to do at MOST. Check them off the list you made. So satisfying, yessss YESSSSS. You make yourself prouder and prouder, YOU DID IT (lay extra the cheesy, it's necessary), you now know you can do it, it makes it much easier to do bigger steps. But if it gets harder... Step back to tiny steps, and restart. No big deal.

You won't get abs if you do 500 reps Dec 1st only, you get abs with 20 abs every day, several times, or only 5 abs every few hours every day. It's the consistency, it's so much less discouraging, it doesn't takes THAT much time. Same thing with your studies and your brain. If you wait till finals to study or the day before to finish a big work, it's gonna be like the 500 abs reps. Tremendous and you don't know how you'll make through it.

Also some people used to be considered "natural geniuses" thus never relying on some sort of brain system for organization, and overly relying on their brute talent. It might work for a while but as you go higher it will not work at all, the workload gets bigger and bigger. You're not becoming dumber and dumber. You need to do stuff consistently, into smaller easier steps, but it doesn't means that you are dumb, it means you dedicate better, more efficiently your brainpower into your studies. Everyone else figured it out in high school while you carried on applying the brute brainpower, and you didn't know of the right method. Smaller stuff is so much easier to absorb than one giant block of matter.

You are NOT dumb. You're NOT an idiot. You just don't know how to use a system to employ better your tremendous potential.

Elle fucking did it because she CONSISTENTLY studied, and she divided the task into easier steps. You can do it too...

And you know it.

[keyrielle]

That's so true. We need to find out why we procrastinate, to work/study better.
